Mac G5's Powering the "Xbox 360" at E3

Now here's something totally unexpected. Microsoft was using a pair of PowerMac G5's to simulate their upcoming Xbox 360 next generation gaming console at last week's Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) in Los Angeles. Apparently, they didn't have any Xbox 360's ready to run the gaming demos and had to use some alternative hardware instead.

Anandtech has the scoop on this curious incident:
