Every once in awhile in some forums- really close by, there will be a kid running around saying "hey, i got halo 2 beacuse my dad works at M$" or
"Hey, i got a 360, beacuse my Dad works as M$"
well that is exactly what was said the other day on some forums at Gamespot.com. But rather than saying "Im not lieing you NOOB!" he actully posted some pics.
Apparently his step dad just started working for Microsoft under the title of Regulatory Compliance Manager, and is currently hardware testing the Xbox 360, and is why this kid got his egar little paws on the system.
He didn't have any 360 games on hand, but did show us a little backwards compatibility run of Halo 2. Being an Avid Playstation fan he said that the controlls were very spoofy, and the interface of the dash was like oil on a fat mans stomach -meaning slick-
He also said that the power supply is external and is HUGE! Maybe this is just the Dev stage yet, but he claims it's the finished deal.
Now the kid is begging to have the thread closed down.
European Xbox jamboree this October where we fully expect to dirty hands on Xbox 360's launch line up.
In May news emerged that Microsoft was to resurrect its 'Xbox jamboree' European event X0 this year. A couple of months on and the company has now confirmed a few details revealing that X05 will take place on October 4 and October 5. We don't know where it'll take place yet though, with the venue currently a closely guarded secret.
Reports from Japan say Microsoft's next-generation home console provides the tech for the House of the Dead 4 machine.
Recently, Sega staged a beta test in Tokyo for House of the Dead 4, the forthcoming light-gun shooter that uses the company's new "Lindbergh" arcade board. At the time, rumors began to circulate that the new board--which displays games in a 16:9 widescreen format--was based on the Xbox 360.
The r500 chip is running at 500 MHz speeds- this helps Developers meeting a october/november luanch.
Microsoft says this is the final clock speed of the chip, but there are reports that the chip can go higher- if this is true expect the Developers of the 360 to have the ablilty to do some serious overclocking.
Playstation 3's RSX GPU eveloped by Nvidia is said to run at speeds of 550 MHz. Its skeptical for people to say "hey, the number is bigger- so its better."
this isnt always true. The xbox 360's archtechture is "unified" unlike the PS3's design. The 360 might very well be the power house of the next generation.

It gives you an idea how the Xbox360 would look like with a metallic black color.
At this moment it's unknown if the Xbox 360 will be available in other colors besides the original silver look, but it's likely Microsoft will release Special Editions of the console later on with different colors like they did with the current generation Xbox.
