Microsoft to Unveil Next Xbox on MTV

[MuGen]

While I believe showing it on MTV is totally pointless, and industry leaking..... You have to wonder how desperate Microsoft is to put a dent in the gaming industry to rely on MTV.

And GM, Eminem unveiling the Xbox? Wouldn't that be copying Sony PSP's Busta Rhymes, in that commercial? LOL j/k....

if microsoft goes optional hd, then the early release of xbox 360 may be an initial console package. later when ps3 and rev comes out microsoft might unveil their HD Xbox 360 called Xbox 720.

!!! thats top secret MS information!!!! you wernt supposed to reveal that, you dont know what you've done!!! you have to get out of the country! hurry!!!

Hey man, I'm plopped on your head, so whatever happens to me happens to you...

how do you think I got that info?

[Canyarion]

Is it tomorrow yet?

Isn't Busta Rhymes Dutch?

Will people really be so dumb to rely on MTV?

Do I ask too many questions?

[MuGen]

It's kinda win win on Microsoft and MTV's part. Get MTV watchers to see the Xbox 360, and then get MTV's viewer ratings to skyrocket when gamer's tune to MTV to see it as well.

Microsoft gets extra publicity.
MTV gets more ratings.

Honestly, anyone who thinks that Microsoft unveiling the Xbox 360 (ugh, hate that name) on TRL is a bad idea doesn't know the first thing about marketing. Microsoft knows where the money is and their target audience, and thats the same market that TRL destroys when it comes to youth/teen demographics. Plus, its a live show, so it makes more sense to unveil it there than interrupt a pre-taped show.

Where would it be smarter for them to unveil it? Saturday morning cartoons? 60 Minutes? Nightline? Sesame Street? Or GOD FORBID... G4 Tech (and mediocre boobies) TV?????

No... TRL makes the most sense and will gain them the most hype.

When I heard this it sorta made me laugh at how pathetic it sounds (MTV? Elijah Wood?), but I won't deny that it sure will turn a lot of heads... And will most likely be well worth the money Microsoft is paying to do it...

And I'll probably be sitting there watching it unless I completely forget about it, which is likely to happen...

Well, what about it?

i'd agree that mtv is a good place to unveal it. but never knew it was on TRL, must of missed that when reading on all this heh. I cant say tho thats the best place, young teen girls arent really thier target audience. i mean i guess its a good a place of any on MTV cuz where would you put it? Live TV is the best as you said. I just dont think as much of thier target audience watches that as they'd like or think.

[Professor S]

Oh, it might not be on TRL. I think that was a assumption I placed on it as being the most logical.

[Null]

ahh, ok. sorry.

i guess the way i pictured it was gettings its own half hour special.

[MuGen]

the way it looks now is that it's getting a half hour special. Cuz if Elijah Wood is hosting it, then it can't be TRL.....
