It has rabbits! It is about the XBOX!

Why is it that every time game console crazy friends send me links about happenings I stand there confused as heck?

http://www.origenxbox360.net/, probably brought to you by the same designers as the XBOX 360 main site (which was featured on the daily sucker) is once again a high tech flash site that should encourage interactivity, but I honestly don’t get what they want me to do and why I should try to find out what it is about…

Other companies are more subtle, and not at all less impressive: IKEA’s 360 degree kitchen portfolio got me stunned and I had a lot of fun using it.

Maybe if usability militia members and arty designers would stop bashing each others’ work and learn from another we could sell Flash as a rich user interface, and not only as a pretty animation toy.
