....or did that MTV "Special" suck??? I don't think it did anything to show
what the XBox was about.

Here's what I remember:

1. A musical act by "Killer"
2. A "Pimped" ORIGINAL Xbox
3. A couple of gamers talkin shmack and then playing

Um...how about showing us the controller, the removeable hard drive, the
remote...talk about the non-game features (if there still are any). Go into
what Live will really be able to do.

It was a waste of time and it looked more like a music video than anything
else.

I don't think it was a waste of time as much as it was just a teaser. I
mean, I didn't figure this to be a real revealing act for the Xbox360
besides the design of it. As Paul Smith said, the real gold mine is E3.
Just wait.

It was an absolute teaser . . . I felt Like I was watching a long comercial
that was only telling me that it is called "XBox 360" and I'm not playing . .
