We didn't watch it, no there was no wrestling luckily, there was no games, just a speech and it showed the gloomy looking X-box off.
GameCube may be better than it was though to be.

Two things stood out for me in the live cast:

1) Bill Gates doing a high-five and nearly getting knocked over backwards, that was funny.

2) The amazing graphics on the WWF demo, it REALLY looked as if The Rock was standing there and interacting with Bill Gates on stage. I mean, with images like that at the demo stage, what else does the X-Box have in store for us?

I also noted that Bill Gates was emphasising the fact that he was only one fifth the size of everyone else on stage, you'd have thought he'd have stood on an orange crate or something. He mentioned something about missing a couple of nVidia chips. He didn't have to. We've known that for years.

The time delay for playing music was quite interesting on the palm top. I suppose music always sound better after a few minutes silence, clever of them to have built that in.

The voice recognition was obviously a fake, I mean you could see the presenter just pressing the paste button with his thumb each time he finished a sentence.

Ah well. Looks like the PS2 is the more attractive alternative for now. Maybe later, Bill.

Well that was VERY disapointing.

The console and controller were shown. And two games were played. Munches Oddessy, and Malice.

Munches Oddessy - Graphically nice, but didn't look fun whatsoever.

Malice - Looked very good, some great game aspects, and certainly looked fun, and easy to control.

And two more games were mentioned - WWF game, and Tony Hawks 2.

What a load of pap. Yes, Malice looks good, but that was certainly not worth watching.

And this ends my live report.

Tony Hawks 2 is being released on it as well...
And WWF as well.

Oh look, it's The Rock, he looks quite large next to Bill Gates.
