It is hard to tell, but it kinda looks like the top handles of a couple G5's if anything.

EDIT: well, that second image takes the fuun out of it.

^^ One more quality post from the desk of Ebby. ^^

If this means they haven't had working prototypes... they better hurry up. I really hope SOMETHING comes this Christmas. I intend on asking my parents for the 360. (Asking them for a $400+ PS3 is a little too much)

Radiohead!!!

The fact that G5s have been xbox 360 alpha kits has been known for a while now, and I've seen two or three Microsoft people state on G4 they only have alpha kits running at E3. No big secret here.

Well, yeah. We've known for a long time that the SDKs run on G5s. It just seems a bit odd that after all this time and at such a big event they don't have just a few real Xbox 360s handy for a demonstration.

You know how awesome it was when people started to run Linux on their Xboxes? A hack that would kick 10 times more ass would be the ability to run OS X on your Xbox 360.

You ask me for a hamburger.
