    Those 2 apples have disappeared long ago.
    I see the clock display warping... it's a very subtle effect so it's hard to see.. but the zeros kind of warp slightly around the tree and the bunnies....
    Don't know if it's because I selected "play" from right button menu....

    Brilliant! Only Microsoft could create a web site which causes my installation of Windows to crash! :lol:

    Apparently I am wise.

    Looks like the site is getting hammered, it's taking forever to load each new sequence.

    Ok. Now it's loading for me as well. Or the bunnies are running at least.

    Well, the questions are a bit bloody obvious aren't they!

    I think my entry went through OK despite it causing Windows to crash. Perhaps it's because I use evil Opera to browse the web?

    Quite amusing intro though, if a touch bizarre. Somebody has been watching too much of the Magic Roundabout, methinks. :wink:

    Ok. The talking rabbits are kind of scaring me right now. Especially when the other one refers to himself in third person.


    Edit: Blah. Have to finish this at home. It's too much for my computer at work it seems.

    Not much there anyway. Just a chance to win tickets to a meeting on a tropical location it seems.

    You can enter until 10/10 I think...

    Is it me or did anyone else see a fair few references to "ejaculation" and sexual innuendo in the "what is origen" section?

    Countdown timer keyed to local time when it has to be PST? Sadly pathetic for an international website.

    Like I say, marketting smells! I guess the take home message from this is 'you know how excited you are about XB360 and how you're counting the days 'til its release and anticipating great and exciting things...'

    It's a competition to earn a trip to the XBox360 "origen" launch event.
