Xbox Next inadvertantly confirmed for November @ Gaming Target

News: MTV does something dumb (but great news for gamers), surprise surprise.

MTV has posted a synopsis of this thursday's Xbox Next unveiling (@ 9:30 PM) and it looks like the successor to the big black box will be coming in November:

MTV Presents: The Next Generation XBOX Revealed
This special highlights the exciting new generation of XBOX. Packages include: Tours of the design labs Interviews with the designers Behind-the-scenes and inside scoop Never-before-seen footage of new videogames. Trailers of the newest games that are due out in November for the new XBOX. The next generation will be revealed at an event at the Avalon club in LA, hosted by Elijah Wood and featuring performances by The Killers and Snow Patrol.

It almost sounds like Microsoft wants to produce the Xbox Next on the fourth anniversary of the original Xbox release. So November 15, 2005 might be a very interesting day. Rumors put Nintendo's new Zelda smack dab in the middle of November too.

But if those leaked pictures of the Xbox Next are real I'm really gonna miss calling it the big black box.
