    I just heard the best thing. The Xbox 360 on the E3 isnt the real one. Its an Apple G5 put in a Xbox 360 case. Or something in that direction. But there's another positive side.. it will be three times better than you can play on the E3.

    I wish my English was a whole lot better :(

    ROFLMAO.

    Microsoft was using a G5, a competitor's product, instead of the 360?

    How low can you go? :lol:

    You should have seen my post back in Random Thoughts, I posted a link that showed and is proof that Microsfot has to rely on Apple quite a bit. The developement kit they sent out to developers is an Apple G5 PowerMac.

    I think it's clear who the real sell outs here are.

    APPLE.

    Doesn't hurt to show they overpower Microsft computers by a long shot. I wouldn't call it selling out. I'd call it"Microsoft-admitting-the-truth".

    Yep, a PowerMac is running the demos at E3 because the 360 isn't quite ready yet I guess. Now I don't know if the Macs were running OSX or some other opreating system Microsoft wrote for the Mac, but it certainly is ironic that if it wasn't for Microsoft's biggest competitor, the Xbox 360 would not exist or certainly would not be as powerful as it will. Because the PowerPC chips they're using wouldn't exist had Apple never invested the money in the chip to put into Macs.

    They're running the 360 on G5 only at E3.

    If in fact that is true, then you KNOW Microsoft is only pushing the 360 because the PS3 is coming out and it WANTS to compete with it. If by E3 your system is not ready, then I say just stay out... I mean, c'mon... First you hype us up with a stupid MTV special about how it'll revolutionize gaming yet you can't even show the real thing off at one of the biggest gaming conventions in the world? Pshh. :p

    Still looking foreword to playing the 360, though... Somehow.

    You know, the XBOX 360 could just be a hoax. I mean, who knows if it actually exists? :p Seeing that they were using a G5 at E³. :lol:
