I haven’t played through an Xbox title since 2005, but that didn’t stop me from attending today’s Microsoft presser in Los Angeles.

I come to the event having been console exclusive to PS3 for years.  I wanted to see if Microsoft could take me, grab me by the throat at their live presentation, and convert me to their cause.

Did they succeed?

The event was held in the Galen Center, an arena on USC’s campus just a couple metro stops down from the L.A. Convention Center and E3 proper.

Members of the media, ourselves included, began arriving well before the show’s scheduled 9:00 am start time to stake out a place in line.

After an hour or so filled with light banter, we were welcomed into a dark theater space cut with strands of light in the Xbox’s trademark green hue.
