360: IT'S A LIFESTYLE THING
"New Xbox 360 gear invades online store - 360 apparel and collectibles deployed - soothing lifestyle pictures to mock
Sony made gaming cool with the PlayStation, and the next generation of consoles are each going to adopt a much more lifestyle-oriented approach - God help us - as they try and reach out beyond a traditional gaming audience into the mainstream.
In some ways it's undoubtedly going to be a good thing, broadening the market, drawing in a new audience and shoehorning in even more music, movies and digital entertainment into the gaming lifestyle mix. Just witness the trippy visuals on Jeff Minter's Neon or the selection of pre-ripped music on your Xbox 360's hard drive next week to get an idea of the lifestyle avalanche coming.
The original Xbox was many things but it could never really be accused of being too cool, but Microsoft is getting an early headstart with the 360 with the Xboxgearstore.com." [more]
