GDC 007 All over at GDC

THERE WERE tons of an Xbox360 variant that I had never seen before at GDC - the developer unit.

They came in two colours, grey and white, were bigger, and had a bunch of new ports on the back.

All were labelled Xbox XDK on the ID sticker.

With the white one, you will immediately notice that it is quite a bit longer, about 20% or so. The added length does not tell you much until you see the back.

On the back, the extra has two ports, the top labeled PIX and the bottom labled DVD Emu. They also had HDMI ports to the left of these on the 'normal' Xbox portion.

We saw several of the machines, and all the grey ones had both new ports wired up, all the white ones had PIX blanked off. Other than those changes, they looked like normal Xboxes. µ

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?
