- Xbox 2 A.I. -
Microsoft is
looking for a software development engineer to lead the development of
next generation A.I. that will power Xbox 2 games. Particularly, Microsoft is
looking for someone to help with sports A.I., as this job description
suggests: "Microsoft Sports Studio is looking for a development lead with a
passion to create cutting edge Artificial Intelligence systems for the next
version of the Xbox. These systems will crunch through
millisecond-by-millisecond decisions that real-life players make on the field
while planning ahead for that next surprise play. They will allow users to
become the best-of-the-breed players in the league, yet continue to challenge
them play after play. The systems do not merely react to the user’s input,
they anticipate and adapt. Games will no longer rest on the shelf because they
have become too easy to beat."

x-box = an affordable pc
x-box = an accessory for those who are happy-go-modding or want a quick fix.
but for gaming, might as well invest in a pc with a good gfx card...
