"The problems for Microsoft started at 8 AM on the Wednesday before the start of the show. Journalist from all over the world came to the company\'s Xbox press conference hoping to be wowed, and instead witnessed an hour and a half of luckluster speeches and technical difficulties. The first, and most embarrassing, of these glitches occured at the outset, when Microsoft Chief Xbox Officer Robbie Bach attemted to show the Xbox boot-up display, and found that he was unable to bring it up on the big screen. Another sour note was struck at the end of the presentation, when a demonstration of NASCAR Heat\'s online play failed to work properly.
Even as Microsoft unveiled its new slogan, "Your games will never be the same," and claimed that the Xbox would revolutionize video games as MTV had the music industry, many of the titles that part of the press conference failed to excite the crowds."

Xbox sucks

If developers are able to use the Xbox\'s full potential then I don\'t doubt that it could indeed be revolutionary peice of hardware with some revolutionary software. I know I\'ll be first in line to get mine on November 8.

Please shut up. I\'ve read a lot of your post lately and they\'ve been nothing but mindless spams with lots of bias in them.

Funny, considering your a gamecube FANBOY. It\'s natural you would stick up for your own kind.

you guys are all dumb, sans Gohan and Jumpy, of course.
Who cares what Sony Informer...I mean Game Informer says? that is the worst game mag on the stands right now, easily beating out the much feared GamePro.

I think everyone should just ignore everything STG says.
As JUmpman said, all he does is spam

That story is very missleading. They did have some huge A/V issues but the online worked just fine. The guy demonstrating just played poorly which made it so that you never got to see the two human players on screen at once.

You know, I have a free subscription to Game Informer (I signed up at Babbages or something). Anyways, I have to say it is the single worst magazine I have ever had the displeasure of reading. When I get a copy, I skim over it just to see how much trash is in it. So, what they say pretty much means nothing to me.

I agree nobody takes gameinformer seriously.

In my opinion xbox had the second best showing at this years e3, nintendo had the best ;) Sony had a good showing, but except for jack & dexter there wasn\'t much new stuff. Xbox had doa3, Halo, amped (very cool game! :)) Unreal champions and Project gotham. All of these games interest me.
I\'m getting a xbox, but not at launch, just to make sure :)

The X-Box is an incredible piece of hardware(I\'ve been studing it lately :)...thanks to Dr Yassam\'s support)...I\'ve totally change my opinion about it...this Console will be successful...I can\'t see one reason why it shouldn\'t...I\'ll buy it at Launch....
-
Buy an Xbox, buy a NGC or upgrade my PC..........
I still don\'t know what to do, but this should be fixed by the UK Launch of the X box and NGC over here.
But so far it looks like i will be upgrading my PC as i am still not 100% convinced with Microsoft console.
Maybe that will change over the next few weeks as we get closer to the X box and Gamecube launches.
-
Im not going to buy a new console..
Im gonna upgrade my PC (prob. AMD TB 1.2 GHz or something)
And Im gonna buy some new stuff for my PS2.
(games, hdd, ss ect.)
I think PS2 is gonna be the king of the hill.. Thats why Im sticking with it :D

I watched the presentation live at work (streaming) and I was LoL at the dude\'s playing the games. They all were lousy.
The guy playing Halo was trying to show some features, and was like "I hope I don\'t die, they\'ll fire me." as a joke. 10 seconds later, he died.
My little sister could drive a car better then the dude who was driving in NASCAR.
It\'s like these guys have never played the game before. You\'d think they\'d put in at least a couple of hours practice before demonstrating the game.

Dont let E3 fool ya. X-Box was running on alpha hardware. The final dev kits were sent out during E3.
