Microsoft
Announces a New TV Show
On
the news front, it looks like Microsoft (with some sort of
conjunction with Pepsi) is putting out a
new TV show of some sort called MDN. The details seem to
say that there will be some co-op/team and some free-for-all games
involved. My only thought so far is that this sounds an awful
lot like Arena on G4, but with a complete XBox/XBox Live twist to
it. So far, details are pretty sketchy, except how one can
apply to be on the show.
Currently
Microsoft is offering "skilled gamers" only some details
of how to apply. Check out the link for details, but to sum it
up, anyone who wants to try out is invited by the XBox web site to
send in a 2 minute tape to explain why they think they're cool
enough to be on MDN. These gamers must be 21 or older and
available to be in LA for 10 days of non-stop XBox competitions and
must have no affiliations with MS or Pepsi. Also, some
undisclosed "prizes" are up for grabs. Hopefully
Microsoft will make more details available, but for now, this is all
I can find.
