Rather than waiting for the press to get the story out Microsoft is going direct to the public by running a half-hour ad on MTV May 12th. To be hosted by Lord of the Rings and Sin City actor Elijah Wood with a variety of other celebs turning up, this should be a must-record item for gamers.

Wow, that's great news if it's true (the link didn't open). I guess the colony contest will end there.

it is true, I posted it in the rumor thread last week sometime, allbeit without all the info due to me not wanting to lose my job, but now thats its been "leaked" , I can tell you that it is true.

Im not crapping on this thread btw, I glad you can say what I really can't

MTV come the on. Well, I guess I can't be to mad because I rarely watch cable as it is so I guess this will give me a reason to watch this network.

Nah, still not worth me turning on MTV.

i despise mtv to the highest levels, but i will stoop down to theirs and watch it and all its reruns, on the count that i love the xbox 2 hype, and i will be glues to the screen/tv, during e3, as well as checking in for updates from the cheap man live at the seen

I guess I'll be watching Mtv for the first time since the CGI Spider-Man cartoon show.

sorry man but the cgi spiderman didnt quite cut it, i thought it was too boring, and i have the 20th issue in the original series, along with a big ass collection, ill send you a pic if you want

I thought it was ok, but it could have used some major improvments if they did a second season. Did they ever do a second season?
Go ahead and post a pic of your collection if you want. I love seeing pictures of big collections of pretty much anything.

only one season. I chose to wait for the DVD of it rather than waste time with MTV (the dvd came in two disturbing formats, one that was a 2 dvd set featuring the ENTIRE 12 episode season for like 20-25 bucks and then they decided to re release it as 3 dvds at 20 bucks each just in time to milk people onthe second movie's hype.)

meh, i'm sure ign and the like will be all over it shortly thereafter... if i remember to set the dvr i will but i don't even plan on buying an xbox 2 (yet)...

SWEET! I'll be glued to the tv for sure.

I saw this on CNN and was like 'What the was Microsoft thinking!?' I hate MTV, but now I guess I'll have to watch it on May 12th. Why MTV!? WHY!!???

they probably fronted the most money...

Sweet this rocks!!

I watch some of there reality shows like wild boys and Jessica Simpson, but besides that I never watch it. However I'm just glad were going to finally get to see the thing. I'm sure the gaming press is freaking ticked off about this though. They like to use these things as a way to sell lots of mags and get lots of traffic. I'm hoping this doesn't turn into party central but I'm sure it will. I'd be happy if we could get a clean look at the system and whats inside in terms of hard drive and what not. I'd also love to see a couple second of Perfect Darck 0. Can you imagine HL2 graphics on all Xbox2 games!!!! I'm hoping for a wireless controller but one that still has rumble functions and mic support. Even if it does turn into party central at least E3 is only 4 days away and were sure to be getting lots of info on Xbox2 and evreything else.

The Mtv audience is pretty much the target demographic for the Xbox 360. It makes perfect sense - this way they reach the most amount of console gamers.

i already have it ready to record on my DVR. so if i accidentally am out, i can still watch it over. i'm pretty excited that we can see it before e-3

After the MTV airing, I think you will see all the sites releasing all their info on the Xbox 360 since the NDA should be lifted.

I dont think it was mtv that fronted the most money, but rather microsoft paid them to air their special.
