    interesting. Either way I knew that the games were only partially done. That doesnt change my opinion one bit. partially done games usually look worse now than when they are released. Still holds true. G5 or working xbox360, either way there still partially done games.

      yea we already knew that, but a lot of the game producers r claiming that their finished products will look much nicer than what was playable and with the exception of a few games they all looked pretty good now.

        yea...they said that the the quality of the game that was running had to be toned down a bit to run smoothly...

          They were running on G5's because Mac's already use the IBM PowerPC processors which the XBOX 360's are going to be using.

            They were running on Xenon dev kits.

            Smart move, I thought. The controllers at the show were wired; we would have had controllers stolen for sure if they actually had Xbox 360's running there.

            It was cool to actually be able to play with the new controllers, regardless.
