    According to this Jeff Minter managed to get his lightsynth into the Xbox 360.

    For those that don't know what a lightsynth is, it's basically the same thing as the thing on your hi-fi that jumps up and down with the music or those plugins you get for winamp.

    I'm glad Minters work will finally hit the mass market (presuming the X360 does well). I think this could be one of those sleeper features that could end up shifting a lot of units.

    Now all they need are some good games

    Shaggy Llama lovers unite, lets light some candles, switch on our Xbox360s, and bow our heads in sheepy reverence for the bearded one.

    Lets hope he manages to hide GridRunner in there somewhere too!

    I reckon this is what was generating the images on the big screens behind the bands on the MTV special. Strange that they wouldn't have mentioned that fact though.

    Ciarán.

    Not really, the target audience wouldn't be the most.. technical.

    Ah Gridrunner, I miss you.
