    Didn't check out the MTV cuz I'd rather limit the self destructive habits on drinking, but some dude is hosting a vid on Xbox details.

    Get it while it's hot...

    Really? I thought it was pretty underwhelming. Probably better than the screen shots, but not what I expected from a next-gen console. Probably not even as good as some of the top PC games today.

    The only games that looked decent to me were the two Racing games (NFS and PGR), Gears of War, Madden, and NBA 2K6. But I know at least one of them were just renders (Madden), and the other 4 may have been as well. Everything else looked like PC games, IMO. Maybe those really are DOA 4 screen shots.

    IMO, this was pretty bad for Microsoft. Should have just done the OurColony thing and then went straight to E3. I almost feel like I should apologize for hyping this event.

    Dont be, its MTV. Microsoft didnt blow it, I bet it was all MTV produced and they are saving a bunch of crap for E3.

    Perfect Dark looked better than the screenshots

    maybe because it was moving or something?

    NBA 2k6 looked like a movie

    I didn't know exactly what to expect but I thought the show was pretty weak

    I was more interesting in seeing the console and the xbox live aspect of the whole thing more than people playing games

    I'm mostly talking about the games, not the MTV stuff, although that sucked too. I mean, either the Xbox 360 is more like Xbox 1.5 (or even 1.1), or these games are nowhere near ready to be shown on TV, let alone playable.

    I was so disappointed that I am now thinking twice about the whole "Xbox 360 games looking better than PC games" idea.

    Microsoft will need a killer E3 to get this show out of my head. I'd think I'd get more excitement from a Sony Powerpoint than most of the crap I saw tonight.

    Microsoft stole a page out of Apples book with making the outside all white and trendy looking, overall I thought it looked cool.. I did feel like I was back in Jr. High watching MTV though...funny, I dont feel like a kid when I play video games at my age though..

    That's actually a Xbox 360/PS3 game that showed off that stuff like a year ago. IGN showed it a while back, acting it was new even though it wasn't, and at the time I thought it was probably going to be vaporware given how bad it looked, plus I think it was made by some small company that I hadn't heard of. But again, I'm starting to doubt several things I once thought were true about next-gen.
