For gamers waiting for the rumored Earth-shattering Xbox 360 news, tuck the kids in and go to bed. If it's coming at all at this year's CES, it sure isn't happening tonight.
At this year's press conference, Microsoft's Bill Gates and Robbie Bach busted out some Guitar Hero to close out the night. Originally set up as a duel between the two Microsoft execs, Bach instead called out "Guitar Hero Champion" Kelly Law-Yone, who played through the opening riff of Guns N' Roses' "Welcome to the Jungle" on the game's expert mode. Not to be outdone, Gates revealed his big guns -- Guns N' Roses guitarist Slash, who entered the stage in a cloud of smoke while playing the the game song on one of those "real guitars" we keep hearing about.
What were you expecting? The Xbox 360 Ultimate?

wow.
lol microsoft.
Wow.
Bill: We're rich, beeyatch.
Slash: Ok, me go overdose now. Sniffle.
Codeine makes you hear some weird things...
What are you talking about? A Slash/anything combination is cool.
...Seriously?
I am sad that I am right though.
ANNIOUNCE SOMETHING...this bullcrap ain't it
The licencing is important because I don't think MS would dare stick an HD DVD in their own lineup in case it turned into the Titanic and 360's brand reputation got sucked down with it.
The WB thing probably saved them from even that worry. I wouldn't be surprised if they did have a model ready to announce but they got such a kick in the balls that plans have been shelved indefinitely. It would be interesting to see the original slides or hear some trustworthy insider talk of what was originally in the works.
STOP WITHOLDING INFORMATION D'TOID. OUT WITH THE MONTANA DETAILS!!
this TOTALLY makes up for the lack of EVERYTHING!
Not microsoft, thats who not!
As dumb as it sounds I am kinda happy about the Marketplace announcement as I am all for Digital Distros. Maybe this will bump MS to expand it's library even further, and possibly outside of just dling from the internet. Would love to see 360 kiosks at retailers I could dl full games from.
Awesome.
