thats great... I like how he tried to blame it on having the wrong remote, and then proceded to keep trying that remote. Reminded me of Ashlee Simpson trying to blame her band for the whole SNL thing. Pitifull

Conan Rocks Tho!

exactly! and what was with the xbox demo? not enough memory? and i saw conan's screen lag when he was trying to back out of the wall. you would think they use the top-of-the-line components for a demo wouldn't you?

Yeh I'm sure they would run it live without testing it beforehand. :roll: Just like Billy codes windows himself.

I think it was only one major thing that went wrong for Steve... He handled it well I thought, just switched to a backup machine, everyone laughed and he carried on with the demo.

Have yet to watch the MS video, downloading it now, but four screw-ups in < 80 minutes is awesome.
