Microsoft bringing home Comic-Con
Publisher plans torrent of content updates for Xbox Live users from San Diego convention.
Microsoft announced today that it would be extending its "Bringing It Home" promotional campaign to Comic-Con 2007. The publishing giant's as-if-you-were-there content updates for Xbox 360 owners have become a regular occurrence in the past few years. Microsoft debuted the initiative during 2006's Electronic Entertainment Expo, and has since revisited the campaign during the 2006 Tokyo Game Show, as well as at this year's E3 Media and Business Summit.
Between July 26 and August 7, Xbox Live will receive a number of Comic-Con-related updates. Xbox 360 owners will have access to game trailers, show panels, movie and TV trailers, celebrity interviews, show exclusives, and dashboard themes. Of these themes, gamers will have access to several that are based on work from DC Comics as well as Legendary Pictures' film adaptation of Frank Miller's 300.
Also, event sponsor Warner Bros. will be holding a special screening of 300 at Petco Park--home of the San Diego Padres--for 6,000 lucky Comic-Con attendees. Those invited to attend will have a chance to win one of 10 limited-edition 300-themed Xbox 360 Elite consoles.
As in years past, Comic-Con 2007 will showcase work based on comics, animation, games, TV, and film. The event runs from July 26-29, and takes place at the San Diego Convention Center in San Diego, California. GameSpot will be on hand to cover the event, so expect more updates in the coming days.

This is awesome news. Makes up for lack of content we'll be missing with no X07 Bringing It Home this year.

I want a free DC theme with Batman, Superman, Flash, Green Lantern and more. That would be so cool.

That 300 360 is cool But if you picking up 300 on Blu Ray keep in mind that you will be missing features that the HD DVD version will have, just like all HD DVD VS Blu Ray movies when it come to this matter. The HD DVD has a bluescreen picture in picture feature that is missing in the blu ray version.
I have both (360 HD DVD drive & a PS3) and if a movie I want is on both, I will all ways pick it up on HD DVD.

DJ_Vhat Impressive, good to know Microsoft is adding value to the absurd $50 per year price fee.
dude have you even played on xbox live!? obviously you havent its worth every penny of those $50 you get soo much features and vids, demos, and free content for games, and lagfree gaming its the perfection of online gaming, so next time know what your talking about before you spray s**t out of your mouth

It's nice to see more customization in the 360s besides face plates and such. Also more free(mabye not) content for XBL is great.
