Wrap-up of the Microsoft E3 Media Briefing
by Alec Matias, May 17, 2005 7:17am PDTSince we were quite busy getting our HD footage up and loaded last night, we held off on posting my wrap-up of the event. Here it is now, complete with a few pictures and a look at that Xbox 360 faceplate that they gave away.
Allard also introduced a segment that showed how the Xbox 360 is essentially "always on." Any user can easily move from function-to-function with quick button presses. Go from playing a game to listening to music to watching a movie to viewing live HDTV and then accept a game invite and come full circle, completing the Xbox 360 experience. Everything happened seamlessly; no loading or long waits, just press and go. Best of all, the majority of these Xbox Live functions will be free.

My thoughts exactly. Why do corporate types have the need for corporate filler lingo and grandiose promises that no one in their right mind would believe? A billion people online with the Xbox 2? So let me get this straight, you're planning on selling 10-15 times as many units as Sony ever did with the PS2? Yeah, good luck with that. Maybe if it debuts at $50.
I understand the need to throw out rediculous numbers like that and pad expectations for the lay consumer, but a room full of industry and gaming press? (and the people online hardcore enough to watch the streaming presentation - i.e., not the walmart cunsumer) Why waste thier time with junk like that?
