TechED Student day 2005

August 26, 2005 on 8:05 pm | In News | | Jeremy Read

Just got back from TechEd’s student day.

Interesting info:

We got to see a dev XBOX 360. And the wireless controllers are really cool, they’ve got a button that lets you turn on/off the XBOX. HDDs are going to come in 20gb sizes.
EDIT: Microsoft is not confirming that Halo 3 is not being made.

The XBOX 360 is compatible with the ipod and the PSP.

VS 2k5 for Universities may come with the HL2 source code.

[Unofficial] the XBOX 360 is going to be released early first quarter 2006.
Interestingly the world wide release is only happening in the US, Europe and Japan. New Zealand will get it a week later.

Age of Empires 3 looks nice.

The guy’s who are making Indigo want us to keep calling it Indigo rather than the “Windows Communication Foundation”. After seeing someone write a scaleable peer to peer chat app in it in under 5 minutes I’ve got to say that it’s incredible.

  2. Um, hold on, it has compatibility with the PSP. Yeah, that’s definitely a killer right there. I’m guessing they didn’t mention anything about backwards compatibility in general?

    Not the best idea to market it being compatible with devices that compete against Microsoft’s market. What a fop.
