This thread is for the purpose of saying which part of Microsoft's conference you thought was the best, and which part was the worst. They showed a lot, so I'm sure everyone's got their own opinion.

Best: Beatles Rock Band. When I heard some of my favorite songs playing alongside that psychadelic trailer, I knew something was magical. And then when Paul and Ringo walked on stage, my inner fanboy exploded. Shame they didn't know what they were talking about, but hey, I'm sure they got paid a lot for doing that.

Worst: Joy Ride. From the second they showed the trailer, the words "MARIO KART RIPOFF" were in my mind. The use of avatars was just shameful.

 

I wouldn't so sure about that. Games like Guitar Hero and Rock Band bring tons of revenue for music companies, specially now that p2p has killed the cd market. Considering both beatles and both surviving wives will get a crapload of money from game sales and DLC songs, it was like a promotional event for a new disc - musicians don't get paid to attend those, they go on their own because they get a cut from sales.
