Rock Band intoduces one of the new additions for this game, you can sing while your friends can play guitar. It like the Singstar series combine with the Guitar Hero series.
After, hearing them sing horriby, Peter Moore talks and compare how much Xbox 360 were sold than its competitors, showing off a graph that indicates that the Xbox 360 is more than in launch with rival the playstation 3 and the Nintendo Wii. Then he shown how much Third Party games they were in comparison with the other competitors, mocking them because they have 0. What I felt, is that i think those graphs are fake because when Nintendo or Sony's Conference will show a different graph that indicates that they are getting more than its competitors.
Some person from Microsoft comes by and introduces a interactive board game, Scene-it, a game that gives trivia coming on the Xbox 360, along with a new controllers for this interactive board game.He showcase new Xbox live arcade games from old complications like Sega's Sonic the Hedgehog and Golden Axe to brand new arcade titles like Warbots. He then announced Xbox live arcade games: Sonic the Hedgehog and Golden Axe will be downloaded now on Xbox Live Arcade.

He then plays with Reggie Bush, a famous Footman player in the new Madden 08 from Electronic Arts, and getting owned by him. After that he showcased additional Televisions and Movies from Walt Disney from Herculus to Tarzan, and many more.
