Xbox 360 Launch Party - Singapore
Robert had a media pass for the Xbox 360 Launch Party held last night in Singapore at the Red Dot Design Museum. About 400 PC gamers showed up for the RSVP event. Singaporeans are the first in Southeast Asia to get the Xbox 360. Some 140 persons who had pre-ordered queued to pick up their sets. Another five gamers managed to win one for themselves through a celebrity gaming competition.
The Xbox 360 was already shown at the IT Show last week and there are demo consoles in some of the shopping malls. Therefore, the event was billed as the ‘Launch Party’ rather than the ‘Launch’. The museum was all decked out in gamer theme with green lights and disco smoke. There were plenty of new consoles to try out. The party was hosted by MTV VJs Denise Keller and Colby Miller. The entertainment started with ninja gals dropping from the scaffolding joined by a slender model dressed as Joanna Dark. Denise hosted the celebrity gaming competition where contestants battled it out with Colby, Denise, and a surprise visitor - Melody Chen.
This event was the first real test for my new Canon EOS 30D. And, I must say that it performed flawlessly. I used a Canon EF 17-40mm f/4 lens and a Speedlite 580EX flash mounted on a SB-E1 bracket. The Speedlite was powered by a new set of Sanyo 2700 NiMH batteries. Mostly, I shot in the manual mode (ISO 400) letting E-TTL2 do all the metering.
Note: There are additional photos from this event on the new hotspotters.com (beta) site.
