vote and discuss here !

~~Vasot~~ · May 14, 2005, 09:40 AM

NO for 2 reasons

1) I dislike MTV
2) My country has Cut it because they ask for money and because is a Channel that advertise "Certain people with certain Looks and too much about Sex" than Great songs and real talents...

It's not a good channel to inspire Teens and kids, it's Unethical and hollow
I have a satellite Receiver to watch it but i preferred not

Too bad the Xbox360 was beeing advertised by that stupid channel

Sandok · May 14, 2005, 09:42 AM

No didn't see it cuz was too lazy to go downstairs and turn on my TV... And in addition, I'm not that impressed with the Xbox360... Sony WILL do better

SecretAgentMan · May 14, 2005, 10:00 AM

MTV sucks but the Xbox360 is a beautiful looking console. Microsoft has hit another homerun with this thing of beauty!!!

Bart1987 · May 14, 2005, 10:02 AM

I watched it. But it wasn't really that interesting. They didn't tell much about it. It was more about the performance of the Killers than about the new Xbox

GeneralClaymore · May 14, 2005, 10:07 AM

nope i dont care for the Xbox 360.

LuCifer · May 14, 2005, 10:17 AM

Agreed... I dont care for any XBOX of Crap either. Sony will infact do Better.

TJ- · May 14, 2005, 10:51 AM

Sony 720 baby,

didnt watch it, dont have that channel here

BWX · May 14, 2005, 11:56 AM

I forgot to watch it- I would have if I remembered.

BTW, I am a console hater, have been for a while now.. My PS2 collects much dust.
I gotta say though, this XBox360 looks like an awesome little machine, very useful- not to mention very powerful for any console or PC. (at least for a couple years).... and that makes it a good buy, and a well thought out and engineered product.

I might become a fan of it.

If it doesn't have force feedback for a good steering wheel like the Xbox is lacking, it will be a stupid mistake by M$ though. It should support all the wheel that are out right now like the Logitech Momo racing, and Driving force pro..

bake15 · May 14, 2005, 12:00 PM

no didn't watch it.
i dont think i could ever go back to any console, no matter how good they get

Yeah, it really depends on the games for me, if there are some I think I would like, it might be worth it.. But yeah I here ya, going :back to a console" would be tough.

jkayca2 · May 14, 2005, 01:28 PM

I don't get MTV but even if I did I wouldn't have watched it. Somebody mentioned that CTV was carrying the same program but I didn't bother to check it out. I don't understand why anyone would take the time to watch what is essentially an overblown commercial.

blown503 · May 14, 2005, 03:10 PM

I didnt watch it because mtv is aweful. no more music channel, it just sucks

Blazer · May 14, 2005, 03:55 PM

No, I didn't watch it, Why watch a 30 or 60 minute overblown commercial? we get enough of them already.

Drakon · May 14, 2005, 04:41 PM

Didn't watch it because MTV sucks! Also what's up with these game companies trying to be "hip" and all?

CDsDontBurn · May 14, 2005, 06:21 PM

i didn't watch it because i'm never home. Would i have been home, i would have watched it.

Dark Lord · May 14, 2005, 07:00 PM

didnt watch it. i havnt gotten mtv for years now.

Lakevren · May 14, 2005, 11:33 PM

No, because MTV is garbage.

Has been for quite a while.

ChrisW · May 15, 2005, 04:23 AM

I also didn't watch it because MTV sucks big time.

Falstaff · May 15, 2005, 04:52 AM

Yes, MTV does suck, and so does BET and VHI, a tremendous waste of time.

crapman777 · May 15, 2005, 05:54 AM

Garbage promotes garbage. MTV = useless and XBOX = rubbish. I am wondering how much this "revolutionary" console will actually cost. By the time its released it will be another outdated pc, contrary to what Microsoft may have you believe.

OmegaRED · May 15, 2005, 06:21 AM

I downloaded it off bittorrent (we dont have mtv in canada) and I if you look closely at the games being played the frame rates are horrible! Especially when people were playing split screen 2 player mode games it looked pretty bad for such a high end machine.

I expected graphics to outdo the X850 or Gforce 6800 but they didnt look nearly that good.

Sargentwhitey · May 15, 2005, 07:07 AM

I didn't because of the fact that I already knew enough about the Xbox 360.. which is a much worse name then Xbox Next.. which is what they should've used.

crapman777 · May 15, 2005, 04:10 PM

I agree, XBOX next should have been the name. What is 360 meant to imply exactl??? I imagine this is going to cost around 500-600 bucks u.s. with the hardware they plan on using.

tornadog · May 15, 2005, 07:06 PM

Mtv is a channel that I never watch, too bad they decided to use that channel to launch Xbox 360, guess for once MS didnt do proper market research.

WillyBurz · May 16, 2005, 03:02 AM

Wow now if only Nintendo could join the Gates team!! It's going to be a system that sony could only dream about...Hell right now, sony is probably redesigning a ton of $hit. I have a Gamecube, and an Xbox, and I love my Zelda, Metroid, Mario stuff...but next Gen is going 100% Xbox 360 for me. I don't think the other two can even come close!

bananaman · May 16, 2005, 08:29 AM

i didnt watch it as i knew all the relevent info would be condensed on various websites - which i can read at work

microsoft started the whole notion with release of xbox they want it to be the mainstream of gaming.

Matteos · May 19, 2005, 06:35 PM

MTV Sucks didn't watch it. 360 is a nice machine, but Sony has stolen their hipe. The PS3 specs are double what the XBOX 360 does. (1 TFLOP for the xbox, 2 TFLOP for the PS3) the stuff Sony was showing off with at their E3 press conference was awsome. The PS3 is going to blow XBOX away.

I saw a lack of anti-aliasing in the GT5 demo- nice GFX, but they better get their head around antialiasing.
