New FE MS Game Room
« on: January 11, 2010, 03:43:46 am »
Microsoft announced a new "Front End". It's called Game Room.
Its for the XBOX360 and for PC.
You can model your own 3D arcade, buy virtual machines for it and exploit in unline with your friends. Except from the pretty high price per machine (I hope they will offer sets too), the visual concept looks awesom.

So, nobody takes offense to the old bald guy playing the games?     :dunno


Would anyone here in BYOAC actually consider this?

Not even for a minute.

I agree, I wouldn't consider taking offense to the old bald guy gamer for a minute either.

The 3d Arcade FE already does this for free. As cool as it is though I've gone with HyperSpin for ease of use and functionality.

It's one thing to stereotype all classic game players as bald.. but we shouldn't ignore that some of us may be bald (or will be bald in the future)

gamers come in all ages, sizes, colors, genders, and hair styles =)
