what do you mean either? nintendo? then true, neither Sony nor Nintendo has made thier unvealing.

However for MS, that was it, that WAS thier next gen console unvealing, no matter how you spin it that was it. Sure they can have a strong showing at E3, and probably will, however, its already been unvealed, that makes people that much less interested in thier E3 event.

hmm, lets see, at E3 we can go see Sonys or nintendos unvealing, or we could go see 360 again....... HMMM. what to do... but as i said, MS will have a strong showing, its just that because of this mtv thing, its putting more fucus on Sonys E3 unvealing. almost exactly what sony would have wanted anyway.

Yes, indeed it was their console unveiling. And let's recap what we learned?

The history of gaming does not include PS2
The future of gaming is a girl in a blue dress carrying a bag
Xbox 360 can only be played through a Samsung HDTV
They're pushing Xbox 360 customization, yet pimping an Xbox
Instead of unlocking outfits, you now spend real money on them
The Killers is the official band of Xbox 360

Wow, what a console unveiling that was! But we also learned some fresh new marketing terms

Hi-Def
Interconnectivity
Ring of Light
Living Entertainment Experience
"Chill" white

Well with Microsoft dropping out of the console industry, wonder if that makes room for sega to come back?

lol. i dunno man, Sega's going to have to come up with something awful clever to compete with the ring of light.

something like, the never ending tube of light!

no, it was a question, the way you put it, because we're talking about MS and he started mentioning sony, you said that sony hasnt unvealed anything either. You made it sound like this wanst a real unvealing for MS.

so i was asking. im sure its easy to tell that I, of most people could care less about grammar.

Sorry I would have posted earlier, but I was to busy burning everything Microsoft and had too many tears in my eyes to see the computer screen. PD0 looks like crap, what a huge let down I was soooo looking forward to that game. I am going to go take a cold shower now.

It's not the end of the world. At least we have wired controllers!

Well... 3 of them

I'll tell you what though, If I owned Windows Media Center Edition, I'd be all over this thing. But I don't, nor will I ever

EDIT: Actually, found a reason to buy this thing, or at least a controller. The controllers, connecting with USB 2.0, will work with PC games too.

Just as long as we don't have to reach those black and white buttons, we'll be good

Ok... After my cold shower I have calmed down a little. I was thinking that maybe not all hope is lost for PDZ, so I was looking around on 1up's exclusive article of the game, and I actualy decided to read the article rather than just look at the screens.

Quote:

This is the caveat given as Botwood prepares to show off PDZ for the first time. Running on alpha Xbox 360 development kits (machines that possess only two of the three CPU cores in the final spec, as well as a run-of-the-mill ATI graphics card as opposed to the final, custom GPU set), the game is still very much a work-in-progress. But even at this stage, it's enough to see where they want to go with it.

So the game screens that we have seen may not be what the finished product will be like since it is only running at 2/3 power. Maybe they were just showing us those screens to trick us (doubt it). I really hope Rare can pull off something amazing in the next 6 months, but I'm not going to get my hopes up just to have them crushed again.
