So we have
Electronic Arts showing screenshots of Madden 2006 almost certainly from the Xbox 360 version. We have
pictures of development kits. We have an
MTV unveiling of 360 planned for next month.As hype trains go, Microsoft’s for its next home console has gathered quite a head of steam. And what next? Well, a teaser of a teaser, that’s what.
Click here to see the trailer for the Elijah Wood-hosted MTV special, which will show the Xbox 360 and its games to the world.
Little of note in the commercial however, except that it strongly reminiscent of the vibe employed by Sony over the past decade or in its PlayStation marketing drive. You will however note the new Xbox font, which, no doubt inspired by J Allard, has been significantly slimmed down.
