    So there must be a new console on the way. I mean, that's the only explanation for a marginal improvement on the development hardware.

    Bullshit blog material at best.

    New xbox kits have been out a while, they of course are not 100% speed.

    Once again it's a battle to make them put enough memory in the damn box.

    I forget exactly where but didn't ms say somewhere that they would keep the xbox 360 until atleast 2015? Now that is still a long ways away, and perhaps they are doing this now to give xbox and ms a better name for a future console?
    btw lol those slim devs posted above look so sick :love2:

    I made this post before pics were available. Seems like they're just Slims, like the ones Xenon was selling, but haven't seen the inside so can't be sure.

    Remember it take three years to make a game.

    Halo / many other sequels were started on xbox 1 hardware.

    No.

    I believe this is the Corona revision.. I'll let you know shortly.. I haven't checked if it's officially a Corona or if it's just a Trinity revision.

    What do you mean? Are the retail 360's not full speed as well? Or the previous kits?

    Very neat, but yes I would probably prefer a blue xna kit.
