Cor! That was a genuine surprise to me. I thought Thing might be released on the 360 but I never suspected it would be integrated in it. Congratulations!

Well, despite the lure of Halo and Fable, I managed to resist X-Box #1, being happy with the PS2 and Cube and PC.

I see now the Path.

Anyone want a Cube & some games? I'll keep the PS2 for Rez. Until it's ported to 360. Or emulated.

The Xbox360 factsheet mentions wired and wireless controllers.
Guess which one will be packed in the (hopefully not-premium) box.

Note: Some peripherals sold separately.

Llongyfarchiadau Jeff (a Giles hefyd)!

I guess a lot of folk will think this is the moment that Anakin Minter sells out to the dark side and turns into Darth Yak but really that's just bullshit.

At last, millions of people will get a chance to experience one of your trippy creations and as far as I'm concerned that has to be a good Thing.

Of course, now that you're already familliar with programming for the X-360 I don't suppose there's any chance we can expect a few Yak games to appear for it?

Ok, so anyone know how much an Xbox 360 is going to set me back?

The controller is wireless but can be connected wired for recharging.

If someone does that, I will love them. And, lo, the way will be clear...

Wow, my intrest in the 360 just went from 0 to like 300,000,000. Or something. Congrats to everyone involved and especially Jeff and Giles. I was absolutely not going to buy the 360 but I will start saving for it with my paycheck tomorrow. I was going to get a better TV and wait until the next gen console had a price drop but I think I'll be buying the Xbox at launch now. Wow, I am so excited.

fihu's link says that the controllers run on two AA batteries.

Still, at least they rumble

Wow, excellent news, really pleased for yourself, Giles and everyone involved.

Must feel great to have your lifes work finally getting the recognition (and audience) it deserves.

3 questions:
1/ Does it hurt smiling for so long?
2/ Any chance of more Mintery/Giles/et all goodness on the 360?
3/ Is this the real reason Unity was cancelled?
