Xbox Live Bringing it Home - San Diego Comic Con (July 26-Aug 7)
Being a comic book dork as well as video game geek is a hard thing, thanks to Microsoft, it just keeps getting easier. According to their official site up for the promotion, via the Marketplace you can “…watch the panel discussions, see the footage, and download exclusive themes and trailers, all for a limited time.” Awesome stuff, I am sure they will attempt to bring the focus on game related comic happenings (ie Halo comics, The Darkness, etc).
Right now news is already posted that they will offer a DC Comics theme and a 300 theme, with the claim “More themes every day!” Xbox360Fanboy already has the scoop of a 300 themed Elite Xbox exclusive for the convention, with 10 being given away. I await the news of this sort of attention being brought over to the MegaCon next year. For now though, enjoy this news and check the official press release after the break.
