Kid with XB360. Stepdad = Fired?
« on: 20 July 2005, 04:09 »

It’s pretty common for kids to go trolling on game forums and make obnoxious claims such as having a go on the Xbox 360 in their own home. Well, this thread on Gamespot started that way, except the kid actually backed up his claims with these photos:

 




Click images for full size.

Now the kid is begging to get the thread deleted (maybe he found out what an NDA is), but the cat is already out of the bag. Apparently his step dad just started working for Microsoft under the title of Regulatory Compliance Manager, and is currently hardware testing the Xbox 360. The wires coming out the top are for such testing. The hardware is apparently complete, and although there were no 360 games to test, he gave Halo 2 a spin in backwards compatibility. He is claiming the power supply is external, and is enourmous. He also raved about the user interface/dashboard and the feel of the controller (and this coming from an admitted PlayStation fan, so it must be good).

You are a damn lucky kid, but I hope you didn’t just cost your step dad his new job.


Pics.

So do I. The Nintendo Revolution should be pretty good too, I'd love to see it kick the Xbox 360 and PS3's asses.

Nintendo make few games, Microsoft make some, and I don't think Sony make any. It's the third party software developers that make the most games, and from what I've read, they look forward to making software for the Nintendo Revolution.

Nintendo always seems to make weak budgeted down one pea in a watered down soup version of a game console. What's that? Game cube I hear?

Do you ever make sense?

Their consoles aren't too powerful, but it's what they do with the little power that matters. The Xbox 360 is just gone over the top, they won't gain all that much extra, and will just bloat up the price, and perhaps the games too.

It's the games that matter. And if the console is a little bit less powerful than the competetors, it's well compensated by kick ass games.
