The Xbox 360 launches Sunday. The halls are buzzing here.
There's a big event -- google for "Xbox 360 Zero Hour" to see the Mojave Desert blowita coming Sunday night. Tuesday they're setting up the tent behind our games buildings here, and we're getting our own 360s. Wednesday, we'll pretty much just be playing.
For the Xbox group, and groups making launch-title games, this caps 2 years of exhausting overwork. December will be full of empty halls, as people take their long-postponed vacations.
My faves of our games coming out -- Kameo, a virtual-world title.

Project Gotham Racing has a cool thing, Gotham TV, where you see broadcasts of other races as they are happening, inside your game. And an even cooler thing, Gotham Photo, where you can zoom the camera anywhere in the city or around -- or in -- your car, and snap screenshots. Since the game-builders modelled Tokyo and other cities pretty fanatically, this is surprisingly satisfying.
