Attention 18 and 19 year olds: You no longer have an excuse not to vote. As if it weren't as easy as logging onto voteforchange.com, Microsoft has now enabled you to register to vote without even leaving the comfort of your gaming console.

That's right, you can now register to vote on your Xbox!

In collaboration with rockthevote.com, Microsoft is giving Xbox 360® owners the ability to register to vote, participate in presidential polls, and voice their opinions to the presidential candidates.

"The Xbox LIVE community is active, vocal, and passionate," said Marc Whitten, general manager of Xbox LIVE. "We're thrilled to partner with Rock the Vote to make it easier than ever for youth voters—and our members—to register and be heard."

So take a break from playing Rock Band or Half Life 2 and register to vote, dammit. I don't even care who you vote for (as long as it's not Sarah Palin :) ) - just take the time to educate yourself!

The future of our country is at stake!!!!
