PAX 08: Microsoft Xbox campus tour

A day prior to PAX officially kicking off (which was this past Thursday, if we recall correctly) Mr. Paladino from the Gamerscore Blog and Mr. Major "Larry Hryb" Nelson were kind enough to invite team X3F over to one of Microsoft's Xbox campuses for a some tour fun. We had a chance to inspect the lobby (don't pre-judge, lobbies can be interesting), meet Master Chief, inspect a few awards, touch the Surface and take a looksy at the Xbox Live Online Lab. The one room that all of Xbox Live and its pieces parts are monitored from BUT a room that we couldn't photograph for obvious "super secret" reasons. We did take a picture of the door though, so be happy with that.

Here you go, start your gallery tour of our Microsoft Xbox campus tour by clicking this wee little link or click-attacking the gallery images below. It's visually interesting and mentally stimulating. Oh, and thanks again to the Paladino and the Major Nelson for taking time to hold our hand and walk us through the campus. Our palms were sweaty only because we were excited. Apologies.

I hope someone presses MS about the dpad redesign for those soccer controllers and gets them to commit to bringing them out here ;)

It's not "campus E", it's actually building E on the Millennium campus. And it looks like you got a bunch of pics from the lobby of D and at the stairwell too - and of course, the oh-so-exciting cafeteria. :)

Too bad you didn't get any pics of the nice Xbox green walls upstairs.
