guess this is a rumor but still interesting if its true. Microsoft is blaming MTV for the leaked pictures of xb360.
And even more interesting, Microsoft was NOT planning on showing the actual console on the MTV program.

Following on from the news last night that Microsoft was ringing round their European Xbox subsidiaries in an attempt to locate the source of the leak, it appears focus has shifted away from it having come from within Microsoft.
The same source that informed us of the frantic activity at the Redmond campus last night, has now informed us that MTV, under pressure from Microsoft, are investigating a possible leak from within itself.
The leak, now believed to originate from within the team that is handling the production of the program, has been especially damaging as Microsoft has continued to be unavailable for comment.
The source commented no-one involved in the production of the program is exempt from investigation hinting that even the likes of Elijah Wood is not above suspicion, although the source stated it was highly unlikely to have come from outside of the production crew.
The plot is made even thicker by the revelation that Microsoft was not planning on revealing anything but the design, name and some of the launch titles.
This was compounded further, with our source saying that the "actual physical console" was not to be shown in the program. What was to be shown was a render; the render that has appeared on Internet and can be seen above.
Once again, owing to the weekend, no one at Microsoft or MTV was available for comment.
of course you never know if any of this is actually true or not. but i believe thoes pics are the real thing so i think its safe to assume MS is rather pissed off.
Think this would be the first and last time a company tries to reveal thier console before E3 on a TV station?
