- international commercial slogans everywhere in the auditorium (“…immer besser. Du…”)
- they seem to have bandwith problems: the stream is rebuffering all the time. (i’ve got 100Mbit broadband)
- “Due to the proprietary information in the following content, the video and audio portion of this broadcast will be temporarily suspended. Normal program will resume in a few moments.”
- more than 2 million Xbox live subscribers up to next month
- Xbox 360 will play the most popular Xbox games (does that mean emulation of the first-gen Xbox?)
- UPDATE: YES. It’s backward compatible!
- XBOX 360 will launch in Japan, North America, Europe at the same time
- Xbox live will have minigames built-in (Card games…)
- Dead or Alive 4: exclusive for Xbox 360
- Xbox live as a media platform: Voicechat, Marketplace, Media
- I’m a “BeatBuilder”-Customer
- iPOD compatability? Xbox 360 will be compatible with competitors mobile media players
- Xbox 360 as a media amplifier: HD TV, msn music store, your music…, Media Center integration.
- Stay connected: the Xbox live and Media Interface is accessible even when you play. Just hit the center button of your controller
Damn. Why aren’t they showing the cool fun-video with SteveB and BillG for everyone? It’s not in the stream. It’s just there live on stage.
