A Walk Through The Xbox 360 Evaluation Lab

Dean Takahashi, the guy who wrote about the development of the Xbox in the book Open the Xbox, went on a tour of the Xbox 360 lab. Good reading if you want to get behind the scene in the making of the next-gen MS console.
On the tour, I got to see some working prototypes, as well as many with their guts torn out. Behind doors with coded keypads, Microsoft is literally baking some of these machines to see if they can live up to tough quality standards before they begin shipping this fall. Here and there, engineers say that they’re the first to begin playing next-generation games.
