PGR3 and Xbox 360
PGR3 screenshot and Xbox360 name hints? >> A new screenshot has been revealed as reward with the words "Your team got it right. Here's a better look ..." to people participating at the ourcolony.net Alternate Reality Game, that is believed to be another Microsoft marketing campaign building up to the launch of the next generation Xbox (like Ilovebees was for Halo2). As TeamXbox suggests it looks like these might be the first images of 'Project Gotham Racing 3' for the next generation Xbox. But there is more ... not only does this this image show a "Ferrari 360 modena", TeamXbox.com also found some hidden text in the original image. If opened in a hexeditor you will find the text "C.a.r.R.e.n.d.e.r.3.6.0._M.a.g.a.z.i.n.e._.C.o.v.e.r._.r.e._.t.o.u.c.h.e.d.u.p.". This could mean the image will be used as cover for a magazine (probably the Official Xbox Magazine), but the occurence of '360' in the text and the use of a Ferrari 360 on the picture, might be the first somewhat 'unofficial confirmation' of the 'Xbox 360' name for the next gen. Xbox - even if ourcolony.net has not been officially recognised by Microsoft. Link to article and screen shot: Click hereSource: http://www.xboxscene.com
