ah yes the "johnny on the spot" as they are sometimes known. useless if you ask me, just pee on the ground in a secluded spot!

Hey! Less pee-talk-about-ing, more bugging Ben to release photos of his 360p!

...But seriously, Why not just simply go in a bush, a tree, or a brick wall? Or better yet, a toilet!

Screw the xbox, 360, or even saturn. What I'm waiting for is...

Oh you mean like that thread strted a while ago and dkap1 verified that it was not a Sony product and no red lines. Or you planned it so that I think I know what you are buliding but I don't know the right one?

I know Ben. I know.

benheck at the MGC spoke not wrote: My next project is going to be an xbox portable. dont tell anybody though because it is a secret.
. you can even ask scherzo he was there. he was rudely interrupted by me when talking to some people about this site.

Yes, I can confirm this. That's what he said. Though I know how sometimes people might have more than one project going and might end up finishing one before the other even if it wasn't planned that way. So I didn't take what he said as the gospel truth. Things change. But it's most likely that it's an XBOXp. I suppose anyone who watches the video of the MGC could have found that out.

Well guys, it might be an extra day now. There's a certain part I want to be sure is working, which means I'll probably rebuild it (the part)

Since most of you think it's an Xbox 360, I might as well admit that yes, it IS an Xbox 360 laptop. And don't worry, it has a BIG screen, it's widescreen, and hi-def even. It also has every feature you can imagine plugging into a 360.

For the rest, you must wait...

YESSSSS!!!!!! Ben you are the 1337-M4573R!!!!

So that's what you meant when you said "I better get back to measuring this keyboard..." in that email!!!

EDIT: So I'm guessing I'm the one who hit the nail exactly on the head? (Probably by saying the 720p thing...), or was there someone who predicted a 360 laptop...

Ha I predicted it with the first reply! But don't spill this guys lets wait for pics!

Ah, but I predicted it in late-June, & I have the emails to prove it!

Um, but I can neither confirm nor deny a 360 portable project. I have obviously stayed up til midnight here doing other things. Yes.

...They just don't seem the same w/o your alt attributes though...

By the way, What the freaking FunK where you thinking putting a 360 MoBo on your hand like that w/o a grounding wriststrap!? Well, we all see what's coming with that; When will the 360p be finished?

Get ready for the server crash!

Anyways, it's still pretty sweet, despite my deep and illustruious hate for Microsoft. Ben has mentioned a 360p in laptop form in a podcast or two; he said something about it not running off batteries, that it would just use a DC adapter. I wonder if this still serves true...
