Staying up to 4.30 in the morning for watching a press conference I knew would be very insignificant, was a bad move. Now I need some sleep. And Bill's only shock treatment for me last night was a video about his last day in office that made me want to kill myself. He apparently knows some celebrities. Including Slash. Who?
What the announcements for Microsoft's gaming division told me was that nothing "new" was happening in the 360 camp. The IPTV partnerships will use Xbox Live as the communications platform, and that platform can be transferred between devices, from the original Xbox to the 360, further on to future Xbox's. Connectivity was the rant, and connectivity they delivered. If reality was anything like a Microsoft press conference, things would be kind of nice. Unfortunately, reality is something missing from the Microsoft point of view on society.
What the press conference told me was that they are going to ride this year out with software for the 360, before the next Xbox is announced. This press conference told me that they don't have anything new and revolutionary to bring to the 360 camp, and that they are already looking forward towards future generations of gaming, bringing Xbox Live with all its IPTV services with them.
What I said yesterday brought me down to the standards of suckage here on dtoid, though I promised not to tard out. Maybe I broke that promise, and maybe I've become too pretentious to recall what made me not to fail in the beginning. Whatever the case might be, I stick by my douchebaggery methods of deeming the 360 to the ground partly because of HD DVD (i don't know anything really and maybe therein lies the problem, i just don't know when to stfu), and I will have to make a lot of changes to bring you guys' trust back... Because this site is just too awesome to not contribute to, and I sure wanna be a part of it in many years to come.
If Batman Begins taught me one thing, it's an answer to a question. "What do we do when we fall, Bruce? We learn how to pick ourselves up again." And thats just what I intend to do.

P.s. I had to!
P.s.s. CES '08
but then again thats cnet. you can't trust those guys anymore. blu-ray has got the studios and the better format. what can microsoft do at this point?
What about people that don't have broadband or can't afford it.
and thats why microsoft's stand in the "format war" (digital distribution) is so weird, plus the fact that they're in partnership with toshiba and the hd dvd group. you can't expect to own the market with dd within a few years, and if this really is the end for hd dvd, what exactly is your plan?
as time and technology increases exponentially, fitting your high def "next-gen" game on a dvd isn't gonna cut it, and thats gonna become more and more apparent as this decade comes to an end.
@electrobes
thats actually pretty interesting and something i haven't thought about. instead of buying a disc, you simply refill your memory card for a reasonable fee. although, i think that would be problematic because of piracy, seems like it would be easier to crack that system.
