Marketing Crap
  • blah blah blah
  • This "Don Matrick" guy is pretty boring, though I don't know how he compares to previous Microsoft guys, as I've never actually seen Peter Moore or Jeff Bell first hand.
  • "360 will outsell PS3" lolz, don't even mention the Wii, of course
  • Xbox Live stuff, blah blah blah.
  • BTW, there's a Rock Band 2 COMPLETE track list on IGN right now. It actually went up a while ago. I didn't read all of it yet, but I did see MEGADETH on there. :D
  • More TV stuff on Xbox Live Marketplace. Whatever.
  • "On Xbox Live Now" A bunch of old movies and stuff. Yeah, I don't care!
  • more HD movies, blah blah blah
  • Growth and innovation = ?
  • I bet this is where the "Avatar" stuff comes in

The New Xbox Live
    They're showing someone's dashboard. Everyone's going to add that gamertag on screen now
  • There you go. That stupid Avatar crap.
  • Wow, looks like the new update changes the dashboard ENTIRELY. Wow
  • Avatars apparently replace gamerpics on the gamercard.
  • Ugh, they look so ugly.
  • Wii fanboys are probably really pissed right now, though. :P
  • I'm sorry, I can't get over how UGLY they are!
  • Miis > Avatars
  • Booo, avatars show up EVERYWHERE, spreading their ugliness!
  • ALL OF MY FRIENDS MUST CREATE COOL-LOOKING AVATARS, I don't want ugly crap on my Dashboard
  • Sharing photos with people. Boooring.
  • Finally, some game-related stuff with "Xbox Live Primetime": "gameshow" stuff. Do I have to buy this stuff?

  • That stupid movie trivia game again (Scene It), but this time, WITH UGLY UGLY AVATARS!

  • "You're in the Movies"...WTF is this?

    • Actually looks like it could be pretty fun. But I'll need the camera, apparently
    • Wait, nevermind, these are basically EyeToy games
    • Girls is dancing, audience isn't reacting, I bet she feels silly
    • The movies it makes using footage of you playing the games looks pretty cool/funny, but I can see it getting old after a while
    • Okay, it comes with the camera...still ain't buying it.

  • Booo. Microsoft is a flip-flopper. Last year, they showed Rock Band. This year, they're showing Guitar Hero. >=[

    • Stuff we already know so far, but I expect some surprises
    • Okay, a new screen shot of the music creator
    • Here come the new announcements!
    • REM track pack...okay
    • Uh-oh, here it comes...Metallica? Ah, new album from them for both GH3 and GH:WT. Interesting. But what's this mean for Metallica on Rock Band?
    • That's it? No trailer? No gameplay demo? Bah

    • WOO! Trailer!
    • They hoooked up a Zune to the 360...does this mean we can use our own music!?

    • ROCK BAND 2!!!

    • AC/DC, we already knew that, though
    • MEGADETH! (though I already knew that, too)

    • I can only see footage on a small screen...
    • Some text I can't read
    • Flying Airships.....okay
    • More text I can't read
    • Obviously this must be some kind of JRPG
    • More text I can't read...WAIT, is this Star Wars? ...Oh SHIT IT'S FINAL FANTASY XIII.
