Reminder: MS kicks off CES with tonight's keynote [update]

by Dustin Burg { Jan 7th 2009 at 7:30PM }

Update: Major Nelson will be in attendance and is doing a live chat of the keynote here.

Just a friendly reminder that tonight, at 9:30PM eastern (6:30PM pacific), the 2009 Consumer Electronics Show will be kicking off with an official keynote by Microsoft's Steve Ballmer. True, rumor on the street is that Microsoft's Xbox 360 news will be pretty much non-existent, but there's still a chance for some OMG MEGATON news.

You can watch the keynote live, online via Microsoft's official webcast. Our fingers are crossed, hopefully we get some juicy 360 bits. Now, bring on the keynote!

doubt they will even mention a single bit of new info on the 360, but they will def mention its incredible sales. dont get your hopes up, this isnt e3. windows 7, zune, and live products are way more important at this point in time. if there is anything possible to be announced on the 360 it will be a new zune app on the 360.

I forget, was any 360 news dropped at last year's CES?

by OMG megaton news do you mean that the bomb in the center of the town has been deactivated by none other than the lone wonderer from vault 101?

"Our fingers our crossed.." Might be a typo, not sure but thought I'll point it out.

Posted early on Xbox.com. Kodu is coming to the Community Games Channel, and it will let players build simple games. We saw some of it a while ago, when it was called Boku.

meh, Asus had a fanstatic presentation, MS did some windows 7 news which I've messed with in build 7000, and Primetime... no big deal

I like this quote...

"33% more friends are being added w/ NXE"

This is almost true... I have added a lot of friends in the same time frame, but its not because of NXE. Its because Gears of War 2 matchmaking sucks and they forced me to make friends so I would have a full party.
