Microsoft CES briefing preparations
Juggernaut | 6:55 PM on 01.06.2008 19 comments




Preparations are underway at CES for Microsoft's press briefing. These pictures of the setup were posted on Major Nelson's Flickr account:








This is one of the more interesting pictures posted:


At the bottom underneath the desk you can see two Guitar Hero controllers, a 360 and a 360 controller. Could these be clues to what the big announcement will be? I guess we'll have to wait to find out

You can watch the keynote speech over at www.microsoft.com at 6:30pm PST (9:30pm EST)

I doubt that's the big announcement. More like MS Gates is leaving the company to the next head honcho while he does his side quests.

I am hoping the announcement has some thing to do more with Digital Distributions, but I doubt it will be that. It'll prob be something stupid... no matter how big they claim the announcement to be.. it will not be something that will interest us much.. I can just see it now.

The guitar controllers are probably there so Bill Gates can play Guitar Hero III and make himself look like an ass once again.

@Electrobes: I'm guessing the announcement doesn't actually have that much to do with gaming but I feel that it will be a pretty big announcement for Microsoft.

it will be corporate bs as usual. either way i'm still watching it. but i think we'll hear stuff like ip-tv, connectivity and some other uninteresting... things...? the success of the 360 and yadayadayada.

we will either hear "stay the course" on hd dvd or we will not a word on hd dvd at all.

Man, just imagine the brain cancer you'd get if everyone in those seats had wireless devices giving off all that radiation.

It's been enjoyable so far. Much better than watching my school's football team implode on national television.
