E3 2007: Have a question for Peter Moore? photo

In the next hour or so, we're going to be sitting down with Peter Moore. Perhaps you've heard of him -- he's the head of Microsoft's Interactive Entertainment Business division. He's kind of a big deal.

For one reason or another, he's agreed to sit down with Destructoid. With Ron Workman involved, and all of us operating on little sleep, this was probably a big mistake.

We want to give our community a chance to ask Peter Moore anything, whether it be about Microsoft, his time with Sega, or his favorite flavor milkshake. It's a no-holds-barred Q&A with Peter Moore, and you guys are invited.

Why choose not to have a price cut? I am wondering this greatly as a few of my friends want to get a 360 but are waiting for a small price cut. What is the news on that?

If you could change anything, right any mistakes, fix any past problems made with the Xbox brand, what would you do? One example is the recent warranty increase; are there any other plans such as that to improve on the brand?

Do you own any of your competitors systems? Competition aside, there has to be some PS2 games or PS3 (lawl) or maybe even Wii (double lawl) that are interesting enough that you actually wanted to play them.

I got the pleasure of meeting Mr Moore during CES when Dtoid stormed the event earlier this year. He's a great guy, and still remembers all the dreamcast shit.

I do have a question.

My Xbox 360 is flaky, but not red-lighting. Ask him if there's any hope for people like us. Ask him if we should just break them the rest of the way to get a fixed console.

We as the gaming community appreciate your extended warranty the 360 you just recently announced. This however seems to be more of a band-aid than a solution. It's fantastic to know that you'll stand behind your product for three year, but shouldn't the real goal be reducing the estimated 33% failure rate to something closer to 5%? If 33% of my consoles life is spent dead, thats a serious dent in my willingness to purchase future Microsoft consoles.

Ask him about why pricing schemes on the marketplace for dlc are so messed up. Ask him who has control over the pricing decisions and why no one has been able to set a standard for price in relation to value. Do they have any plans to set standards other than the ones that seem stable for movies and tv shows?

It would be really awesome if you could ask about that, as I know alot of people have been upset recently about guitar hero and the false promises they made , versus oblivion and rainbow six vegas who have delivered above and beyond anyone's hopes.(gears of war pricing anyone?)

What does he think of the response toward the Halo 3 Xbox? It seemed like the press at the conference weren't too happy with it, for whatever reason.

Ask him if he knows if the Rock Band DLC pricing will be comparable (as in rape-tastic) to GH2's DLC. Because if it is, I'll be pissed.

Also, ask him if they'll ever consider packing the core with a hard drive so that it can become a guaranteed thing for developers to count on. I think not packing a hard drive was one of the biggest mistakes ever.

I'm still wondering why they, the people who introduced an internal hdd as standard, didn't put one in every 360.

@ Dale North : MS kept sending me broken consoles, so I took a hanger into one of those tiny holes and just started snapping pieces off like wires and chips.

I don't suggest it because I don't wanna be held liable if it doesn't work, but that's what I did.

Please PLEASE ask him about my Gears comment. I really need to know! Seriously if we dont get it then screw Epic, AND Gears. (Im glad I didn't get that Gears tattoo if they don't!)

First, I would like to second Dale North's question. I had a 360 that was 1-month out of warranty and the DVD drive stopped working. While the new 3 year warranty is great, it certainly doesn't help my situation. Why extend the warranty for a solitary problem instead of backing your product 100%?

Second, is there any plan to restructure Xbox Live Arcade pricing? There are some great titles on the Arcade that have been sitting around since launch and have never seen a price cut. Why not bundle older XBLA titles from a single publisher and offer them at a discounted rate? Some older games seem as though they could generate significant renewed interest if their price points were adjusted.

Lastly, would Microsoft consider courting Rockstar to release the uncensored Manhunt 2 game as a sort of premium Xbox Live download? Gamers would be less likely to object to the games last-gen presentation as a download only title (especially if it is upscaled to HD resolutions) and this could create an interesting new revenue stream for Microsoft. This version of the game would undoubtedly be the definitive version to own and would become a must-buy for those of us who object to Sony and Nintendo's effective censoring of the medium.

2 Questions for him

1. Does he have a time line for the new downloads for GH2 aside from the one pack that came out yesterday.

2. What is up with MGS4 is it coming to the 360 later or like Indiana Jones is he afraid of Snakes........like what I did there?

Is he worried that the shine of his (awesome) baldy head might attract the wrath of magpies?

Ninjas or Pirates? (he'll say ninjas because of Naruto, it makes for good business to get the buzz going, but ask it anyway)

What would be his ideal game, or what does he think makes a game great?

And now the serious question; Xbox handheld or any other Xbox hardware in the works? (he won't talk about it but i'd like to see what he says...)

Ask him if the Core will ever get HDMI, or if we will be able to trade in our Xbox Premiums for HDMI enabled ones for a slight cost...

I WANT HDMI ON MY XBOX NON-ELITE!

@HarassmentPanda

That Manhunt 2 question is good. I'd buy the AO version of Manhunt as DLC.

Or to broaden the question, is there any chance we'll see a section of Xbox Live Marketplace that's dedicated to larger stand-alone games as DLC? I heard the size restrictions of XBLA, plus the lack of such a dedicated section is the reason why you need Tomb Raider Legends to download the Tomb Raider Anniversary "episodes".

Why doesn't the Xbox Warranty expressly disclaim any implied warranty of merchantability? Without expressly disclaiming this warranty aren't all Xbox owners who experience failure, not due to normal wear-and-tear or misuse, entitled to replacement by law under Article 2, Section 2-314 of the Uniform Commercial Code, a provision adopted by nearly every state?

The Xbox warranty has become a joke around some law schools. Some contracts professors bring in the Xbox Warranty as an example of a large corporation not being able to hire attornies capable of writing a property warranty.

Yeah, do me a favor and ask him the following:

"A reader of ours named Jeremy Anderson is now on his ninth 360 since launch. Number 9 was just received two weeks ago and is now beginning to randomly show blue static on the screen with the picture shaking all over the place. Numbers 3, 4, and 8 were refurbished units that were dead on arrival and immediately returned, resulting in months without a working unit. How many times does he have to go through bad refurbs before you guys send him the new-in-box system he was promised after number 3 died?"

A Dreamcast/Sega question:
What did you learn from Sega and the Dreamcast? And how did you apply that knowledge to Microsoft and the Xbox 360?

Are there any plans to reorganize the Xbox Live subscription system? In my opinion, $60/year is a little much to pay for the privileges that Wii owners enjoy for free. I understand that the Wii is lacking any online support for their games at this time but surely it will begin to catch up within the next year.

I'd have no issues paying the fee if I felt like I got more out of it. Giving Aegis Wing away for free was a good start.
