Game Tapes RAW: Microsoft Xbox Introduction (09/20/2000)

Fantastic, really cool to have this sort of thing archived in this way and Game Tapes was some cool commentary on it. Thanks!

This is either the best, or worst moment in Microsoft history.

Bookmark this video for whenever you need to get some cringing done.

Microsoft executives are a stilted, awkward bunch, aren't they?

JOHN. HE CALLED HIM JOHN.

Damn, John.

This is how it started.

Thanks for making these things available, duders.

If anybody ever asks me to explain video games to them, I'm just going to show them that chestbump.

Hell yeah, casual execs!

I loving this hot new old content baby! Keep those Soundbites and B-Roll um rolling! VHS fever.

Finally I have raw betacam footage of chest bumping xbox executives to edit into my life's work super cut mix.

these are great, please keep uploading them.

Brilliant idea for a video feature considering this is a website that seeks to archive all things video games.

More of this please!

This is golden, thanks for the archive!

This is fucking awesome.

I'm so glad GB is archiving stuff.

We call this "Fremdschämen" in the German language.. to feel ashamed on someone else's behalf. I have this feeling a lot with these presentations from the late 90s/early 2000s.

This is great. I am all for GB becoming even more focused on archival of video game related stuff.

I love this goddamn website.

This is such a great idea!

I think it's awesome that you all are archiving all these weird uncommon tapes. Thanks!

He had not yet earned the title "J" at this point.

TIL that the XBOX logo is made of Kryptonite.

You're doing a great thing here - uploading these raw tapes. I understand if it becomes too much work and you have to stop. Just wanted to thank you for what's already been done. The combination of this raw footage and also your commentary in a separate video is so good.
