Xbox Live has you covered]]>http://www.joystiq.com/2009/01/21/missed-the-inauguration-xbox-live-has-you-covered/http://www.joystiq.com/2009/01/21/missed-the-inauguration-xbox-live-has-you-covered/http://www.joystiq.com/2009/01/21/missed-the-inauguration-xbox-live-has-you-covered/#commentsFiled under: ,


For politically minded gamers connected to Xbox Live, Microsoft has made some of yesterday's inauguration of Barack Obama as the 44th President of the United States of America available to watch online. Found in the Spotlight area of the NXE, the Presidential section features videos of Barack Obama and Joe Biden's swearing in, musical performances and even select, and extremely topical, TV Shows and Movies for those who catch the political entertainment bug. Nothing like watching Mars Attacks! starring Michael J. Fox to celebrate a historical moment in American history! Wait, wha? But seriously, if you're down with history check out The Presidents, a History Channel documentary available in pieces in the Presidential section of the Marketplace.

Log into Xbox Live tonight and the first thing you'll see is ... a photo of President Obama from today's inauguration. Indeed, the spotlight of the Spotlight channel is today's ceremony, including video of Obama and Vice President Joe Biden being sworn into office, the 44th President's inaugural speech and more.

Even the Movies and TV Shows categories have taken on the theme, featuring the likes of The West Wing and -- wait a second -- Mars Attacks? Yes, the Tim Burton camp-fest is inexplicably among the inaugural offerings. In any event, it makes sense that Microsoft would make a rather big deal about today's momentous occasion, having already urged users to Rock the Vote and conducted an informal election survey last fall (which now-President Obama and his running mate handily won).
