Paco where the hell do I remember you from? were you around in the old RC days?

No.

And all bashing a side, I like the new screens better but what the hell was up with the MTV shots? Was that a 'newer build'? It doesn't make alot of sense... I also remember MS getting in trouble for photoshoping their images.

I'm curious as to what the game was running on since (looks over at OB1) the hardware wasn't finalized. My guess is they were prototypes.

also... if a console is going to launch in 6 months... wouldn't you think that they're in a phase of getting ready to ship them all over the country rather than release the final development kits...? As far as I know, you really cant do all that much in 5 months to any massive extent other than looking for bugs and errors in the programing... even the most simple games have volumes upon volumes of code to look through and check. That takes time.

Look at the first generation games of any console launch. They always work with alpha kits that resemble what the final hardware should be, but the alpha kits are never as powerful as the final hardware. In the case of the current Xenon kits, the most that's been confirmed is that they were running on a two core cpu, not three like the final specs indicate. The transition to final hardware shouldn't be to hard seeing as how Microsoft has been so good about giving updates.

I think 6 months is enough time to improve a game, look at the recently released Forza for an example. Did you play the demo released back in February? The final game is a significant improvement.

But hey, this is fun. It's been a while since we've had an xbobx fanboy.

Not an Xbox fanboy, these days I'm a Rare, Naughty Dog, and Insomniac fanboy.
