Eventually they revealed the Xbox 360 ~~S (a.k.a. Slim) which did little to entice owners of functioning Xbox 360s. Another thing that worked against MS was the decision to demo Call of Duty: Black Ops , a multi-~~platform ~~game for a longer period of time than most of their other showcases~~. ~~Yes, there was talk of some timed exclusivity for the DLC (wouldn't be MS without some) but this too was little to parade over since this deal~~ has ~~already been standard with bestseller Modern Warfare 2 .
