Finally! Now, we can get a better gauge of what this system is capable of doing!

Amazing that Epic, who is licensing UE3.0 to microsoft for gods sake, is *just now* getting final kits...
I believe the final kits have been arriving for X360 developers for a few weeks now (early Aug???) but still....the faster you can give Epic final dev kits, the faster they can provide support to X360 developers using UE3.0 (of which there are many)..
Perhaps only 1st party (MSG) or 2nd party (Bungie) developed/published games recieved the very first final dev kits???
Still, Gears of War is being published by MSG so.....

Bungie is first party. The company is owned by Microsoft, making it a first party developer.
Beta kits have been out for a while, but this is probably the first I've heard of final kits actually going out.

Ah. Well, it's still the first I've heard of it. Which obviously means absolutely nothing.
Pretty much the only games that will look bad on the 360 are the Xbox and PC ports.
Games made from the ground up on the 360 will look most impressive.
The only thing tied to the kits is the smoothness of the games. If a game is running at 20 fps on the final kits...I'd hope that there's still a lot of optimization going on.

That's encouraging! Is it quieter than the original Xbox (or compare it to any other systems)?
This generation was interesting, noise-wise:
Quietest
GameCube
PS2
Xbox
PSTwo
Dreamcast
Loudest
At least in my off the top of my head that's the best I can remember. Loudness is important to me, because I normally play games with the volume low or muted in my relatively cramped room. (Don't like to disturb roommates with the noise of volume, but hate to get irritated by the disc/fan noise of just the system)
