In Microsoft's own Xbox 360 booth, we saw tons of kiosks running upcoming 360 titles that were actually playable.![]() Games like Top Spin 2 and Need for Speed were playable, but for some reason they didn't actually look all that great for a next-generation console. ![]() Each kiosk had a wired Xbox 360 controller connected to it, running into the base of the kiosk that only had one small window showing off a Xbox 360 console. ![]() But the console itself wasn't on, looking at the right of the kiosk you get to see the actual power behind the demos. ![]() ![]() A pair of Apple Powermac G5 systems were actually running the Xbox 360 demos, not the 360 console. The consoles in the kiosks weren't actually running, they were just for show - now you know why all the controllers were wired. To come to a conclusion: this must be the worsth nightmare for microsoft, you create the ultimate gaming machine but you need apply power mac's to run the games......what a dissapointmen and i'm sure i'm not the only one who's dissapointed in this action of MS. |

So the X-Box 360 is a complete hoax? I knew it! [angry] If they have to fake that, then I believe it's time for them to leave the video game business. They probably don't even have a real 360, but didn't want to look empty-handed, so they made this little hoax. |

Neither do I. But I was thinking about actually maybe getting one after getting the Revolution, and possibly a PS3 (depending on if there's any good PS3 games that are to my liking), but after seeing this that they aren't even using the XBox 360 in here, seems suspicious to me that they're not confident, or there's something wrong with it, and after seeing this, getting XBox 360 (if they're even actually real after this incident) is completely out of my options now. There's no chance I'm going to purchase a seemingly shoddy product such as this. I wouldn't be surprised if there's others who were in the middle about XBox 360 and who felt the same way about it and are deciding to not get it at all now. |

Seriously if I see another post like the above which does indeed violate the Terms Of Service then I will start giving out warnings. The warning system is still in effect by the way. 5 warnings and you are gone for a week. |

5) No Bashing/Flaming/Trolling/Defamatory posts There is absolutely no reason to verbally attack another user (aka flaming), an idea or a product (aka bashing). There is also no reason for posting a message for the express purpose of generating a negative response (aka trolling). [repost] |

I agree. You would think a company making millions of dollars off their games and systems would do a better job of covering up the hard drives. Maybe the guy who put it together put them in the wrong spot, or it's a hoax somebody made to make X-Box look bad. |

I doubt those Computers were running the video games. why would a company that makes billions of dollars would just fake the 360 because over time people will wonder why there isn;t any new X-Boxes on market...which would make some sales fall through.. I think Microsoft HAs the 360 and I dont think any of microsofts games suck...specially for the computer. |

so this is to say that the XBOX360 was a hoax during the E3, so they made a fake to show that they were afraid of losing business if they had nothing to show?...never heard that one before.... |

this is why im putting all money on Sony PS3, they are actually incorporating the PSP into the operation of the PS3 as a remote, and youll be able to use the PS3 memory cards with the other PS1 and PS2 titles!!! |
