xbox 360 bitch!

i am not MTV's target audience. dumb down. calm down. you all watched the co-branded MTV slash xbox special tonight right? how does your stomach feel? are you shocked? or mainly disappointed? yeah, me too. i am looking forward to the release of microsoft's next generation console, the xbox 360. but tonight's TV unveiling left me, well...feeling annoyed and totally bummed out.

xbox if you were talking to your audience, why didn't you use any words? could you show me a little less ass and lame mini rock concert and just cough up some more deets please? i want to know more about the console that's going to soon consume me. wireless...mad cool (wait, are the controls going to be small enough for my hands?) giant ipod looking console, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery (sweet dreams steve jobs). interchangeable face plates? kids will love it (i could care less). where is my technology? why are you not showing me all the super cool things i know you can do? and the games you did show? i don't know man. xbox, you're missing an opportunity to impress an entire audience of gamers. wilmer valderrama playing games? god, almighty. i understand you gotta program for the MTV audience, but WHY do it so...gah. what's the point. it's over. i'll see you at E3.

who's ready for the nintendo revolution?!

THANK YOU! I couldn’t have said it any better myself. I honestly could care less if stars were at the unveiling and I really don’t care if said star was there playing with the new hardware. I would be more interested if people from the game industry were there and people who actually develop games. But then again, I’m a geek like that.

As for the Revolution, it’s true what that articles states, that specs are important but not the end all of gaming. The bar will always be raised, that's a given and these companies will always attempt to keep up, especially Nintendo. But what makes the Revolution uber enticing is that 1) you can hook up the Revolution to your computer monitor 2) online enabled (and it’s free?!?!) and 3) it’s backwards compatible. Those alone warrants the pick up of the Revolution, at least for me that is.

I just realized that I’m more excited for the Revolution to come out compared to all the next gen consoles. Am I going to get all three? But of course!
