I saw this guy at E3. Man his head is FREAKY shiny. I mean not sure if dull coat will work on your head but if I was this dude I'd think about giving it a whirl.

[Dabombpizza]

I wonder if he shouts 360 propaganda at you while you play. It could be distracting.

[The Iron Weasel]

HAHAHAHA! THE WEASEL IS A QUICK ONE!

You know - the one thing that I love about J Allard is that he actually plays games. You can check out his gamerprofile here: http://live.xbox.com/en-US/profile/profile.aspx?pp=0&GamerTag=HiroProtagonist

Going to town on Geometry Wars... very cool. Nice to know the guy running the Xbox business actually plays his product!

[Heretic Machine]

I'd like to give it a whirl in PDZ, I think I'm actually fairly good at that game. Not great by any means, but enough to get by and have fun.

I wonder if you get to touch him if you win

[The Iron Weasel]

[The Iron Weasel]

Is he really the guy running the show? I thought he was just one of the upper guys, used (now) primarily for PR stuff.

J Allard is in charge of the Xbox Platform itself (the hardware/software that makes the box), with Peter Moore being in charge of the games side of the business, both first and third party. Both report to Robbie Bach who is responsible for Microsoft's HED (Home and Entertainment Division), which includes mobile (cell phones), games (Xbox and PC games), and music.

Hope that helps!
