Surprised this hasn't been posted. Not sure if this is real or not
but looks pretty legit. Figure this kid is going to get his dad fired
over this though.

Oh man. Assuming that's legit, that kid is soooooooo dead.

"He is claiming the power supply is external, and is enourmous [sic]. 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)."

I can vouch for the interface and the controller, which feels even better
than the Controller S. Didn't know that about the power supply, though it
makes perfect sense. I'm surprised (again, assuming this is legit) that the
hardware is "apparently complete" as they put it. That's gonna break
Bliggy's heart.

Well, at least we know Halo 2 will work on 360.

It's possible they are using a power brick similar to the ones issued
in the recall. I have one and it looks to me like former Soviet
technology.

Jeez, too bad about that kid's dad though.. If indeed it's not just another
"viral" ad campaign. Because if it's not, that kid's dad is screwed, blued,
and tattooed.
