Well, I think if we count the E from the mem card picture, then we'd also have to count the hidden 7 in the same pic, which kinda messes up the idea of spelling 360.

The blatant 3 in the race car headlight image go well with these new, also blatant letters S-I-X. But the others were very small or hidden, so they may not be related.


Odd that some of us got a bounced email rather than the pushthebutton clue. I still haven't been able to tell if anyone got more than 10 points for this round, certainly none of the top teams did.

 		I've seen some talk (this may have been at the TXB forum) about the "push the button" possibly relating to the power button image that shows up at times in the orb. It could be that we have to press that button at the new countdown expiration time, 1 hour before the MTV unveiling. To get our oh so special reward. (ok, yeah, that was a bit sarcastic...hard not to be with the rewards so far...maybe it wouldn't have been so bad if the full images hadn't leaked Rolling Eyes )

 		Yeah, one of the members here pointed it out to me, after I posted the returned e-mail header. Honestly, I prefer these forums better because they are 10 times less spammy and the post quality is better. But when it comes to puzzles, there's something to be said for quantity, so I check Team Xbox too.

 		if you look at number 21 or whichever that one is which has the 'blue circle' in it, is not actually a circle at all. Rather, i believe that it is simply the same flat top as the other cones. However, that particular cone continues its peak to about 25 or 26. So perhaps all of the numbers we are supposed to get are actually something like, 26 - (the cone heigth).

 		xna
Hello all,
edelman is real. They not only did the ilovebees campagin but are also handling all the press info for Microsoft's XNA Studio project.
XNA is the architecture that will drive ALL new xbox360 game developement. Think of the Xbox360 as a triple X machine.
Xenon proc.
XNA architecture.
X (cross) platform ability (XP/Longhorn, 802.11g/n, etc).
also, this will be a customizable and upgradeable console. (mostly software driven as witnessed in the GDC 2005).
E3 will explain this in more detail.

 		Is it just me or does that link bring up a bunch of nothing? It's the Xbox site... nothing special. Did I miss something?

I'm not sure by what you mean about seeking the barcode but...

I TOTALLY get what you're saying finally... I have the quicktime version of the commercial and after watching it several more times... I think that some of the skyscrapers in the commercial are hinting at the design of the xbox... at least I think so... I may just have watched the commercial too much but whatever, at the very least the sloping building does hint at it's rumoured-to-be concave design...

but Barcode? Question

Edit: I looked again and the buildings that particularly remind me of the XBOX's possible design all are shown either infront of or with the reflection of that Green Xbox-ey River thing in the sky (if you know what I mean... which you probably don't but w/e lol)

Dude if you can scan a bar code out of that I'll be the first to step up and kiss your butt.
