I have some understanding of Eurovision, but is the song contest different than the actual event, or that the name for the actual event.

I'm officially becoming an Xbox fan now. On a more serious note that's awesome, great to see even gaming is being incorporated in such an event.

The name of the event is Eurovision Song Contest, it's one event.

OT: I don't really understand how this whole deal came to pass (might have been a package deal in that MS as whole sponsors the ESC and Xbox is just part of that), but if someone at MS actually thought that teaming up with that event is a worthwile investment then I really don't know who they think is watching that horrible show (no offense to anyone that does watch the contest), cause I really don't think that it's the usual hardcore gaming audience.

Thanks you, as well as Dernebel. Just wanted to make sure it wasn't seperate. I always treated as just Eurovision (insert year).

I wonder if they had a LIPS/karaoke game based on Eurovision could it pick some interest? Must be an best of Eurovision game then because most of the songs will be in a native language...

Honestly the worst event to be an official partner of? Even becoming official partner of Tour de France would make more sense o_o...
