    First Xbox 360 seen in the wild 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:





    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.

    So what, he got one first. You will have one eventually.

    Everything comes in stride and is even better when you aren't looking for it.

    why is this 'leak' such as bad thing for Microsoft? any publicity is good publicity right. anyway seriously, those pictures show a few wires (as if you know what they do) and a bootscreen. whats the big deal?

    That tv screen looks like it was PS'd

    Now that i look at it, the first screen looks PS'd too.

    Look at how the console looks sitting on the ground, looks strange dosnt it.
