    Black Xbox 360 Controller on Bullet Train Seat

    Yup, the post title is self-explanatory. That is a black Xbox 360 wireless controller on a bullet train seat. You perhaps have these in other countries, but just not on Japanese high speed train seats. Just look how the black blends into the dark blue velvety seat. Amazing! Microsoft gave those who attended its briefing a free controller. Pink and light blue ones were handed out as well! I didn't get one of those. If I had, I certainly would've given it away in a contest. Shucks!

    Japanese Ladies and Matching Shirts

    At today's Tokyo briefing, Microsoft showed off its new colored controllers: Black, Pink and Light Blue. I thought Light Blue was green. Looks greenish. Does that mean we'll one day see a light blue Xbox 360 or *gasp* a pink Xbox 360? One can only hope. Click over for pics of matching blouses holding the controllers. Hooray for color coordination!

    Microsoft's Pre-TGS Presser

    And we're in! The place isn't exactly packed, but folks keep filing. Though, right now, I have an entire row to myself. Fingers crossed no one sits next to me.

    On The Ground

    I've touched down in Tokyo, but doors haven't yet opened yet for Microsoft's pre-TGS presser and people in suits mill about getting ready. They should be letting us in shortly. Well, letting us into a lobby, where we'll wait until the event starts. Love waiting! Check back for our live on the ground coverage of the event.
