Oy-yoy-yoy: Jessica Simpson partners with Xbox

by Ken Weeks { Jun 27th 2006 at 12:15AM }

A recent press release pimping Jessica Simpson's new album mentions Xbox as an "online partner," which makes sense given the cross-promotion deal Microsoft inked with Epic Records a while back. Does this mean Simpson's meshuggina mammaries and minimal talent will be showing up on Xbox Live in the near future? It would a appear so. Personally, I prefer the Chabad Hasidic reggae stylings of the current "Artist of the Month," Matisyahu, though I would like to see Jessica take a shot at spelling "Hasidic" in a downloadable video. I'm not accusing Microsoft of taking a step backward musically, but "King Without a Crown" to "Shiksa With Her Top Down" seems like a pretty steep spiritual cliff.

Anyone think its funny that the Jewish Rabi looking guy is from Sony records? So Sony is promoting there own music on a competitor's game system!!!!! NICE!!!!!!!! They know they already lost!!!!

"NICE!!!!!!!! They know they already lost!!!!"

Yeah, because who wants to buy a Final Fantasy, Gran Turismo, MGS4, God of war, the next game from the developers of SOCT, DMC, or any good japanese game right?

Guys, it's cool that you like your xbox 360, i like mine too.
But it's time to wake up and smell the coffee. Most of the best games come from japan, and few of them are ever gonna bring anything worthy to the 360. (FFXI?? come on, that's a PS2 game.)

Before E3 i thought there was some hope. But after E3 it's pretty clear to me that even though MS has signed up those developers, few of them are bringing worthy titles to the 360.

It's cool that the 360 has a few exclusive games, but for the most part we've been getting a LOT of straight PC ports. so you really have to wonder whats in it for the PC user here. (sure, people with really bad PC's or that don't have a PC really get a benefit from a console like the 360.)

The only title i'm looking foward to in the near future is gears of war, it's got a true next-gen engine and if it plays like it looks we're in for a treat... Can't say the same about Halo though, never been a fan of that series, and Halo 3 looks like halo 2 on steroids as far as the engine goes.
It's understandable that Bungie would release a new game that used their existing engine until they can come up with a completley new engine, but for me that dosen't do anything considering how much i disliked the first two.

So it really makes me wonder how even tough Sony's next console has a higher introductury price, it's gonna fail if it has support from the best developers.
The only real treath for the PS3 i see is the Wii, that console will become popular in japan and might get some of the attention from the best developers in Japan.
The Wii is gonna be cool at first, but i figure that once we start seeing what true next gen consoles are capable off people will never look back to old technology such as what the Wii offers. Counting on games like Gears of War, Gran Turismo 5 (not GT HD, 5 should be at least 4 years off.) MGS4, FFXIII, GTA4, etc. to really harness the power of true next-gen consoles.

THATS EXACTLY, EXACTLY WHAT I THINK. Well said...

The Wii is probably gonna start strong but though time it will begin to deteriorate.

C. Grant @ Jun 27th 2006 8:56AM

Kamus,

This debate will be whittled to a fine point by the time the PS3 rolls out. With the lead in a one on one console war against another console that hasn't launched, the future *appears* bright indeed.

You can't argue with FF and MGS though, for American OR Japanese audiences. I'm all over that $600 Blu-ray junk cause I'll seriously NEED to play both of those.

carlos @ Jun 27th 2006 9:11AM

ok final fantasy games have been a rehash after 7 they all sucked and the only good game sony actualy develops is god of war and thats it sony
will loose this time aruong ive said it before the averige person wont see the pse3 as a blue ray player they will see at as a gaming console

Personally I dont like the artists that have been chosen for the artist of the month so far.

it makes my wonder why i have to be stuck for a whole month of service with sombody i dont like.

but more importantly. why is it artist of the month when it could easily be artistS of the month?

give us 4 artists a month instead of one, and the ability to see past artists of the month.
one other thing...
Downloading music videos is cool.
but why not just the music?
you know? somthing new to play in the background while were playing some other game.

is that too much to ask?
the service doesnt seem to require much of a face lift to do it.

Matisyahu is great, looks like a dork, but great music.

Jessica looks great, sings and acts like a tard, but looks great.

neale @ Jun 27th 2006 1:19PM

7 : thats a matter of opinion. i think any game involving spells and witch craft etc is absalout garbage, made in japan or not. i think oblivion is a steaming pile. i cant stand MGS

guns, feraris and pro evo is what i want, but thats what i like

El Shaggy @ Jun 27th 2006 7:18PM

Werd, lets get some cool artists of the month, Matisyahu is ok, but get out Natasha Bedingfield and Jessica Simpson. We wont see music downloads due to our RIAA friends.

The PS3 is losing Exclusive titles quickly. I wont buy my PS3 until there are enough games i NEED it for.

A TRUSTED Friend, with a friend at Epic, is very, very UNimpressed with Gears of War. It hurt me for a while, but i believe this man, I am now skeptical of what this game will bring.

And seriously we need to get rid of the geezer Agents kill MGS and Splinter Cell.
