Well MS are probably going to lose money on the hardware for quite a while after launch.

So buy and and never buy any games for it, that way you'll have Neon and not helped MS...

I was getting one anyway, but probably not on launch day until now. I rarely have time for games these days so there was no hurry, but I can just have this running on the Plasma in the office all day....

Your loss, I'd assume. I really don't see what purpose posts like this serve...

I can understand why matt'd be disappointed in that case.
However, remember that the framework started on the Cubie.. I don't know if they ported the code or rewrote it, but it certainly has potential to be completely cross-platform..

Man ... DO NOT even ask these questions !

We can code on ANY single plattform existent in this world or that will be, and
if the code can't be reused or ported we do it all new from scratch

We are not lazy coders you know

? We don't fear innovation, we want it

Bursting with self-confidence the man! And rightly so...

Giles: A followup question for you: I know the product is Done and Finished, but in the six months until the official release are you planning any tweaks? Or after the release of the platform are you planning to release new versions? I understand that the XBox can download new software, so I'm guessing new effects etc will be offered. Maybe even bought ? On that video they showed that you buy in-game stuff for various games, so I'm thinking you could do it for Neon too.

Well done again

I know that

after all, you did this from scratch and it's frankly unbelievably awesome. It was just a hypothetical

If I were Arkaos (http://www.arkaos.com i think- VJ software - , I would be *bricking* it right now. This is technically way, way superior. (Never having done any directx at all, I have no idea how easy or hard it is to port from one framework to the other, so I don't presume to have any answers!)

fffffffuck

That's stunning.

Shit, I was hoping to hold off buying a 360 until the price dropped a bit.. no hope for that now... Fantastic work Yak and Giles.

I don't get it - whatever anyone's prior criticisms of the company, how can this be seen as anything other than a great (and incredibly smart) act on Microsoft's part?

It's sure to bankrupt me in about six months time, but other than that...

p.s. absolutely fucking drooling over the screens... cannot wait to try it out.

Are we allowed to ask questions? If so: when Yak says it can be left on auto mode, does that mean it has beat detection?

The video had no user input I think someone said, and that seemed to be pretty well in-sync

just a bit, after gawping at those twin torus's I had to pop to the bog.

Yes, it has beat detection and can simply be used as the worlds best visualiser if that's all you want. Or you can use it interactively

We're not going to be answering too many questions until after e3, so for now please just be content with what we've said here and on the website
