It’s pretty common for kids to go trolling on game forums and make obnoxious claims such as having a go on the Xbox 360 in their own home. Well, this thread on Gamespot started that way, except the kid actually backed up his claims with these photos:

Now the kid is begging to get the thread deleted (maybe he found out what an NDA is), but the cat is already out of the bag. Apparently his step dad just started working for Microsoft under the title of Regulatory Compliance Manager, and is currently hardware testing the Xbox 360. The wires coming out the top are for such testing. The hardware is apparently complete, and although there were no 360 games to test, he gave Halo 2 a spin in backwards compatibility. He is claiming the power supply is external, and is enourmous. He also raved about the user interface/dashboard and the feel of the controller (and this coming from an admitted PlayStation fan, so it must be good).
You are a damn lucky kid, but I hope you didn’t just cost your step dad his new job.

Two things are infinite: the universe and mankind's stupidity, but I'm not quite sure about the universe.
[Not like people wont see the machine in a few months anyway, though...there go some hefty NDA fines, I'm sure.]
... that would suck if it costed his dad the job. On another note....
...can you say Viral Marketing? <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
Would have been far worse if he had played a new 360 game,like Stubbs the Zombie or something on it. (damn why couldn't he have shown that!)
Makes for good Internet publicity.
And I imagine Timmy won't be playing on it again.
