That’s the big rumor that was burning through the web today. Todd over at the Seattle PI has a write up on the official announcement tonight, and more importantly…videos (like the one above) that demonstrate the concept. Here are more stories on Surface from Google News.

Edit: On10.net has a video posted as well. Here is the official site on Microsoft.com

I talked about the ‘Xbox Dad of the Year’ contest (or rather TriXie did) on the show this week, but the page to enter is now up. For those are going to enter to win the great prizes…good luck!

It will be 800 points and packed with power-ups. Maybe this will appeal to you ReVolt lovers ;)
