i tuned in... even bothered to TIVO the thing.
however, i was very underwhelmed. i certainly expected all the corporate propaganda, but i was disappointed with the quality of the production and how they debuted the console.
strictly speaking about the console itself... it seemed like a decent machine, though i don't think the production did a very good job of marketing it to hardcore gamers. it seemed like a setpiece designed to reign in people who haven't been keeping up with the next-gen developments. it does seem a bit alarming that not much detail was given to the nuts and bolts of the console.
the games looked pretty, but i didn't see a marked improvement over what is currently offered. perhaps the difference would be obvious viewing the footage in 720p?
i guess underwhelmed and a bit disinterested is my immediate reaction in total. probably not what microsoft was going for.
