Major Nelson's Blogcast's After listening to Major Nelsons Blogcast of the MTV Party here, http://www.majornelson.com/wp/files/mtvparty-mp3.mp3 in particular, sound bytes 1:21-1:48 as well as 4:49-5:13. elijah wood states that he hears all the games will be in hd format. my guess would be that the new xbox has that option for those of us who own an HDTV. elijah also says that he has only seen little bits and pieces but has not seen the whole thing, yet HE WAS RIGHT THERE AT THE EVENT! how can this be?
Later in the second mentioned sound byte, Major Nelson says that they were going to shoot (tape) some more pieces of what we will see on the 12th. i take that as being there were two events. how can Major Nelson AND Elijah Wood not see it all if they were right there at the UNVEILING? i'm guessing that since the mtv clock counts down to one event, the OC clock counts down to another event. i think the MTV was not truely THE MAIN EVENT so to speak. we'll see
Lastly, perhaps the 360 refference means that there will be no region coding to ANY of the games. play any game from any part of the world. XBOX 360's LIVE service would then have no problem globally. also in his most recent audio 05/08/05 Blogcast,
http://www.majornelson.com/wp/2005/05/08/050805-blogcast-mp3/
he speaks with Peter Moore and touches on some interesting topics. based on that chat, he says that the japanese market saw the xbox as big black and aggressive, noting that they have addressed the issue with this current model. that they will be happy with it, TWO THUMBS UP!. based on that statement i think the leaked pics either make the new xbox look big, OR the leaked pics are fake because the size comparison is still somewhat similar to the old model. see it here (credit fateit for posting that pic)

People like Elijah Wood many times have very tight schedules and charge by the hour... for a 30 minute program featuring a box, MTV probably only needs about 10 minutes of face time from him. Figure he shows up for about 30 to do all the shooting and is on his merry way. Then the producers to their magic and put together a show. So yeah, I can see how he was ther and didn;t see everything... or pretty much nothing.

I think the name has more to do with the fact that the system will cover all aspects of media, Games\Music\Movies. Sounds more realistic IMO.

the system controller? or the DVD remote control?
The sys controller is probably going to be bluetooth, ive heard rumors of that. heard an EA programmer talking about it in the M$ booth e3 last year.
The dvd remote looks to have WMC features which would be pretty sweet. No more $7 a month to time warner for DVR! Jerk bag$!

I wouldn't want a bluetooth controller. What if i'm weilding the joysticks all over the place, while going trigger happy, and mashing in a b combos with my pinki finger. I wouldn't want a bluetooth controller. Lagging out is not what i would want a controller to do. RF is 1000% perfect for controllers, it has worked since ever. The nintendo wavebird was RF and was beautiful at it. The XBOX wireless interac controllers were RF and were even more beautiful at it. Bluetooth i could see not being able to handle how much data could fly out of an xbox controller. I wouldn't want my controller lagging up. I would revert back to my snes controller busting days.

i do hope that they include a recharging station or something, batteries suck!

(edit) and i meant what about the controllers themselves. and the black and white buttons basicly becomming new shoulder buttons. if it's true, how do you think they will play. i like the bluetooth and RF talk.
