MTV shows Xbox

Maybe I shouldn't have booked those E3 flights after all. Microsoft have announced a "sneak peek" MTV show that will unveil details of the next-generation Xbox. The broadcast will be on 12th May (US) and 13th (rest of world). That's nearly a week before E3 starts. Apparently, "the special will feature never-before-seen, action-packed gameplay of future Xbox games, a peek into the future of the Xbox Live™ online gaming service, backstage celebrity interviews and exclusive insider footage on the making of the next-generation console." Hmm - can't wait for those celebrity interviews... With Sony unveiling the PS3 on Monday 16th May - two days before E3 starts - Microsoft are clearly firing the first shots. The next console war is about to begin.
