X05

Next month Microsoft will be showing off the Xbox 360 and launch titles at their X05 event in Amsterdam. Attendees will get the chance to play 360 games, interview senior MS staff and generally get the full story on the new console. If previous XO events are anything to go by it should be an interesting and worthwhile experience and create a stack of stories. Unfortunately neither Aleks, Keith or myself have been invited. In fact I'm not sure if anyone from the Guardian has. The good news is that the tabloids and lads mags will be there. Bitter? No, just a bit surprised.
