Hey Microsoft !

Ok, we all saw that MTV thingy that ran last night which alluded to the possible existence of a product which bears a mild resemblance to the next Xbox console. My only question is this: What the hell? Why did you spend those millions and millions of dollars to tell us what all biped tool-users already know: Microsoft plans to make an Xbox 2. From information released in the MTV special, we can safely add the following datum:

-It may have a name.

-It may feature some form of interface for viewing pretty pictures.

- It will have a camera so that we will be able to share images of our genitals with the rest of the gaming community.

- Likely it will be made of normal matter (although from the MTV special, sparse use of anti-protons can NOT be ruled out).

To this end, blowing a billion dollars through the MTV cash colon did nothing to add to the information, anticipation or potential sales of this hypothetical product.

Strong words you say?

Let me put it to you this way. The people who watch MTV are either too young to work, too stoned to work or work for MTV. Those of us with enough cashflow to purchase the Xbox 2 (or whatever) read. We don't even know where MTV is on our dish systems. We use our bittorent bandwidth to download LOST. Basically, Microsoft, you fired your 50 caliber media cannons in the wrong direction. You needed to aim more in this direction. Oh, and we tend to enjoy actual data.
