Ps2 didn't win anything... not a suprise. PC and Cube got 2 a piece and Xbox got 3... crazy

Sega seems to be missing from action too

I'm actually rather disappointed in IGN for their choice in the best non-playable presentation category. You could tell from reading the description that it was all because of the women in bikinis instead of something more substantial like gameplay promise. Yeah, it was a joke, but was it really necessary to cheapen the whole thing like that?

I know, stupid IGN! DMC2 was way better than DOA Xtreme Volleyball! IGN should get a life!

it was best non-playable presentation, not best non playable game...

There is no telling how it's booth was set up, or how they presented it... either way, it stood out somehow. Also, Xantar, who said it was a joke?

What makes DOA Volleyball any less worthy of the title than DMC?

It's not impossible that they gave it the award just because it was that damn good compared to other non-playable games

How is XBox Live a Hardware/Peripheral? It is an ISP service! The Ethernet port is already in there, so XBox Live shouldn't even be in this category, I guess.

Thats just because they had booth babes bouncing up and down next to the video.

Yeah, makes for a good presentation... What other non playable game had a better and more entertaining booth set up?
