Xbox 360 Unveiled On… MTV?

Props to Dan for the heads up. Apparently, Microsoft has decided to debut their new system on MTV instead of a major game convention, which as far as I know, is a first for a console manufacturer. Their choice to do this over MTV does make some sense though, as the next Xbox is going to be heavily marketed as a media center capable device.

On a quasi-related note… Does anyone know when/if MTV will show music videos again?
