From Scott Miller on Jan 26:
"I can't find a X360 to buy in stores, and we have yet to get a development machine sent from Microsoft even though Prey is being developed for their system."

A day later he updated his blog with this: "I now have in my grubby hands a signed agreement that will result in us getting Xbox 360 dev boxes. All is good. "

So no; they have not had one for a long time.

To futher back Mord up, here's something from the 3DRealms forums...

Joe,

I don't have my login info with me for the forums. Apparently several sites claimed we didn't have dev kits for 360 today because of what Scott stated on his blog. Can you mention, if and where appropriate that we have 8, we've been working on it for months now, and that Venom Software in Newcastle is working on it with us?

Tim

And for those wondering who Venom Games is (I'd never heard of them before), they're a small company owned by Take Two...
