Microsoft has chosen Samsung as the exclusive HDTV marketing partner for its Xbox 360 high-definition gaming platform. To promote the high-definition (HD) era both companies will place more than 25,000 Samsung HDTVs in Microsoft Xbox retail kiosk locations all over the world.

The alliance is the culmination of a global process begun by Microsoft in October 2004 to find the most advanced and formidable visual display company to join with the new-generation Xbox video game console. A wide variety of visual display screen sizes and technology platforms from Samsung Electronics (LCD, Plasma, Micro Display - DLP and Slim Fit HDTV CRT's) combined with the incredible new Xbox console will give gamers unprecedented realism and intensity in their gameplay.
