Getting the XBOX360 off the ground

Here's another stroll down memory lane in the making of the Xbox 360. This email from October, 2002, just before the launch of Xbox Live, shows the internal communication within Microsoft as the project, code-named Xenon, got off the ground.

To read a similar internal email from Sony right now! It would probably be something like... "Blu-ray to be delayed again, no functional PS3's yet, chips underperforming and yields suck @$$. All Project leads are instructed to sharpen swords to use for ritual suicide by disembowelment this December 31st!"

i just posted this in another comment section. but for those who did not read it...i think ssj is banned.
...at least as ssj. i just checked his name and every comment he has posted says this:
Reported as Spam, Unrelevant or Offensive Comment
it is unbelieveable how many pages of comments say this...he has to be banned.
i bet among many outlaw is doing a little dance.
how about it outlaw...got your dancing shoes on? lol

yes ssj04 is banned I think, but he came back in the form of PS3Lord for sure, watch the analfabetic language use of that guy. It's the same...

[schnodder]

he spams every board across the net. i've seen him as SSJ @ www.evilavatar.com. he needs to chill.

[USMChardcharger]

he's a real popular guy.

[OutLaw]

The moderator is starting to delete PS3Lord for his comments.

[USMChardcharger]

maybe we should hold a contest for ssj's next name he can use once he is banned as ps3lord. anyone?
all four letter words excluded...i know that may disappoint a few.

Look what sony has done to ssj04/lord ps3, you are giving sony fans a bad name.

[USMChardcharger]

Shotty
"you are giving sony fans a bad name."

i can hear ssj in his bad grammer singing this chorus like that Bon Jovi song. (showing my age if no one else gets that)

Deans book, The Xbox360 Uncloaked is an excellent read, weather you are a 360 fan or a PS3 fan, it is a business book like the Da Vinci code is about religion. If you are a fan of either Dean doesn't act like Microsoft didn't make mistakes with the xbox, he also gives you insight into the workings and personalities in microsoft, to include J Allard, Moore, Gates, and many others. The planning for the 360, the triumphs, the setbacks and the planning and business involved in launching a modern gaming console. If you like console gaming I recommend you buy it. It is a good read, as is Hacking the xbox by Andrew "bunny" Huang (the guy who made all the mods possible by hacking the security protection on the orginal xbox)
