Xbox 2 To Be Unveiled On MTV On May 12th
Microsoft's next-generation Xbox console is set to be unveiled to the world not at E3, as was previously believed, but in a half-hour long special to be aired on MTV the week previously, on May 12th (9:30 p.m. EDT in North America and on Friday, May 13 in other regions around the globe (local air times here)).
The move is a massive break with tradition on Microsoft's part, and will get the Xbox 2 in front of consumers several days ahead of the unveiling of Sony's PlayStation 3 and Nintendo's Revolution in Los Angeles the following week.
"It doesn't make sense to unveil the product behind a closed door, at a trade-only event," according to Microsoft corporate VP Peter Moore. "We wanted to talk directly to the consumer first."

Is that May 2005? And PS3 is 2005 as well? From what I have seen of it the xbox2 looks like a cross between http://www.coolretro.net/img1.gif and http://www.coolretro.net/img2.jpg
