"Okay I went up there directly left of the sony booth you had the Microsoft one which had games for windows running crysis and many other things such as flight simulator X (which looked like crap and had terrible fps) and further down there were some 360s which had fear and stuff like that, but I wasn't concerned with all of that. I asked the Microsoft employee if anything at this event had directx 10 even installed on it and he said no none of it. I asked him about unified shaders with the 360's gpu he says a lot of people asked him the very same question all of the days he's been at the event, but all he could say on the subject is that there will be a VERY important update going out to developers relating to the 360's videocard which developers have been asking for since launch he couldn't give a date on this.He says long story short developers have the 360 gpu, but they don't REALLY have acess it until these updates go through"

Parece que el update que estan haciendo en estos momentos va a ser muy groxo , ver para creer ,no?
Hay que esperar y ver , igual no se si creer tanto asi , es demasiado hype ,pero si llega a ser cierto , mejor para nosotros.

Hay rumores , que MS planea lanzar nuevos updates de firmware con los discos de los juegos (originales claro esta) , de todas maneras ,en terminos copia , los exprtos en pirataear juegos , sacan ese firmware y te bajas el juego y lo jugas tranquilo.

Sony ha hecho esto ,con el UMD (formato de discos para la PSP).

Hay otro rumor tambien , que este update incluira (por Xbox Live) un nuevo firmware que no te permitira usar copias (lo dudo , pero bueh ,hay que ver y tener cuidado).

Muchos developers han elegido la 360 porq es muy facil de programar , pero hay algo mas aca , hay algo escondido.

Wait and see , eso es lo que hay que hacer.

Adio.

PD; que yo sepa , hasta ahora nunca , ninguna empresa de videojuegos , han hecho tanto hype como MS , han cumplido en muchas cosas , en otras no , pero creo que estan haciendo un muy buen trabajo , el doom lo tenian MUYYY bien guardado , tanto secreto me va volver loco
