He is claiming the power supply is external, and is enourmous.
Happy to see MS has learned from their past mistakes...

If true, which I see no reason why it wouldn't be, it would indicate finalized hardware. Indicating that ATi has finished their chip, and that developers should have something very close to final hardware to play with. Its more of a timeline indicator than significant news.

Just imagine what kind of punishment this kid is gonna get when his dad looses his job because of his need to brag and show the internet how much he RoXoRs. This is the kind of thing that if you're going to post, for the love of god don't take a picture of yourself, tell people where you live or what your father does for a living.

It's a good thing they don't have much to move in their apartment!

I don't either. We got a shot of the system. Big effin whoop. I've seen it. Screenshot of Halo 2? Who fuckin' cares? And a pic of the 360 logo. Oooooh, aaaahhh.

We know it is supposed to be out by Christmas, so the hardware should be finalized. I don't see how this is news.

I feel sorry for the kid, begging them to remove that before Microsoft sees.

I call bullshit. Why? I don't know. It just seems right to say that.
