I think the unboxing of a system is a bit different than the unboxing of a game, which is what most other places do.

I always get excited when I see someone has a new console, that only lasted for about four second this time though.

Aaw, was sure this was going to be an impromptu live thing.

there are tons of different embargoes. live coverage wouldn't be much use.

I hope they do one on launch though :)

Well it launches on a Sunday so, probably the Friday before at the latest.

Is this a $15 downloadable or a $60 retail product? I might consider it if it's the former.
