Yay! That's another one sold. Perhaps the XBox 360 will kill the PS3 after all...

Congratulations to Yak and Giles! That's awesome!

I'm going to have to buy an XBox now... That's like pervy, or something. But in a good way.

Big movie is downloaded and watched (on TV, via XBMC

).

I should type something here, but I'm speechless...

It's absolutely brilliant to see somebody actually get to realise a dream. That's a rare and brilliant thing in this life and bloody inspirational to boot.

The forum knows that Gary and I have 'issues' but I'd like to just put that aside for long enough to say that what Gary has done to make this actually happen is nothing short of stunning. The role of 'enabler' is one of the very best things in life and he should be incredibly proud that his vision for this project has enabled Jeff's personal mission to become an absolute reality.

So, umm, there.

Wonenderful ! *Happy dance* *happy dance*...I'm just beginning to imagine the millions and MILLIONS of people who'll sit down, pop in a CD and say "oooohhhh..what's this Thing?!" and just swim into it. No instruction manuals, no help file, just instinctive interaction with the software that we've all been talking about for so long. Imagine that...millions of people who didn't even KNOW these things could be so interactive are about to drop right into the state of the art and just....play.

To Jeff, Giles and crew, my heartiest congratulations on this great project. The future is shiny, bright and wibbly-wobbly in all sort of cool ways. Couldn't have happened to a nicer couple of blokes.

Chalk up another XBox360 over here!

It appears that Microsoft know where the talent really is.
Good on them, and good on Yak and Giles

I'm so fucking happy for you its untrue. Way to go all of you.

I've been behind you all the way for ages. I remember when you used to turn on the little web cam to show us Unity, I was mega-excited too.

On a sadder side, please can I have a note to give to my wife saying that I can have an Xbox360 when they come out please.

If I were Yak right now, I'd be getting out of bed in the morning (go with it!) and punching the air shouting... "I'm fucking Jeff fucking Minter, and I've only gone and fucking done it"

Sorry for the expletives, but I know no other way of expressing how proud of you guys I am. You rock. You've been my coding hero for years even though you dislike godology and idolism. You were the reason I became a developer back in the *coughs* late eighties.

Again, Well done Yak and Giles (and the rest of the crew).

Hip, hip........

I'd have to qualify that as well. If it hadn't been for seeing some of Yak's Vic20 productions..then I'd have never gotten into writing game code like I did. Although I've been tainted with the foul corruptness of doing science for a living..I'm still a game coder at heart, beavering away when I get the odd period to myself.

Like I am now.

Hopefully, more good news will be arriving soon

With Dukes of Hazzard coming out it seems appropriate to say.

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHAAAAAAAA!

Fucking well done chaps.

Can't wait to see this running!

Words cannot adequately describe how pleased I am for you, Yak & Giles, so you will have to settle for a grunt and a snuffle and, perhaps, the occasional moooooo

Tremendous! Only had time to browse the screenshots at work, can't wait to see it in motion. I was already tempted to get a 360 ( I don't own an Xbox) and now it's a done deal
