- Braulio, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Doesn't look legit BUT, I see no reason for anyone to take the time to fake this.
- smiley2billion, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1What I didn't realize was that it has USB ports right in the front. If exploits for modding this thing come from anywhere it'll be through those ports... either that or the removable harddrive.
- dementedd, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Oh dear lord the xbox is huge, that power adapter is MASSIVE (85% the volume of the new PS2)
- MegaHyster, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1This does bring some questions up... Not sure if this has been brought up in other topics/forums.
-in case of things not working correctly, turn off wireless LAN?
-at a LAN party, will numerous controllers, and consoles interfere with each other? Granted, due to the "shortage", it'll be a while till general pop can test this... :) - thecapitalizt, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Make sure the power brick has no small objects nearby, as they may be drawn into its gravitaional field and cause injury to the power supply.
- IraqManiac, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1yep there is a typo in there!
"• If nothing else works, turn off your console, remove and reinsert the AA batteries or Xbox 360
rechargeable battery pack into the controller, and the repeat the steps listed in "Add Wireless
Controllers.""
"...and the repeat the..."
...and THEN repeat the...
typo. heh. - anarchie, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I think this is legit, based on what's also below :
What also may (or may not) be interesting is :

Confidentiality request - lollerskates, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I think it looks legit.
- flaire, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0also, this is the fcc 'electronic filing website'
- flaire, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1first of all, i hope the power adapter will get smaller
second, this is not legit. why a pdf manual? why do they call the media remote the 'shorty remote'? why did they not mention it plays 'select XBOX games' (not just XBOX 360 games)? why are all the links live? i thik this may be a preliminary manual for testers and developers. i'm done... - brandenpro, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0No HDMI??? I guess they will release a HDMI cable if/when they add a HDDVD player later on as stated by Billy boy. HDMI is a horrible connection anyway, falls off the the connection, cant field terminate your own cables, something like 30 foot max distance. These issues are a real problem when trying to rough in a 6000 sq/ft house for distributed HD. If they had a disc changer and a strong enough RF signal for the controller, you could load up all your Games and play 1 box through out the entire house.
- theblackgecko, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Looks like the manual for the deluxe edition. Doubt this is fake, as .gov domains tend to be reliable. Looks preliminary thought.
- chosenone-, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0"For optimal performance [of the controllers] do not use rechargable AA batteries"
WTF?! - de46le, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Dugg for the warning about injuring small children.
Where was this warning for the original Xbox controllers? :) - dan4prez, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I think this is legit but I think this could be for an older prototype of the 360's. I remember seeing an older picture of the 360 that had one of those huge power adapters. I cant see the retail ones coming with such a huge power adapter. I could be wrong, but either way I think it's legit.
- Snyder, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0the xbox 360 doesn't use a HDMI connection for high-def? Am I seeing this right, that the only option for high def is component?
- balazs, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0i click the link on my mac in firefox rc1.5 and it pops up a window to download retrieve.cgi??? it isn't working.
- AtomicTheory, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0"Prevent the Console from Falling:
If the Xbox 360 console falls and hits someone, especially a small child, it could cause serious injury."
roffle, did they actually test this? - Punk, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0"Prevent the Console from Falling
If the Xbox 360 console falls and hits someone, especially a small child, it could cause serious
injury. To reduce the risk of such injuries and damage to the Xbox 360 console, set it up according
to these instructions and place it on a surface that:..."
Sometimes I think manuals are written to be funny. - RayMetz100, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I think it's legit. they probablly had to submit it to the FCC 3 months ago before it was finalized. hence the ?? the manual in your box will be slightly revised, but that dosn't mean this isn't legit.
- Snyder, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0HDMI is the same as DVI, but a smaller head to the cable.
- sldSquirrel, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0All this info on overheating is making me nervous:(.
- swift, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Great! As if anyone here would read the manual in the first place! Right? Personally, if I can't figure out how to hook this "future hacked to run OSX or OS version of the week" box then please shot me down.
- CalAggie, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I thought the Ring of Light translation guide was interesting especially:
"Two left lights on console flash red: The console is too hot and will not play games until cooled down....Once the console cools, the flashing will stop and the Xbox 360 can be played."
Flaire, I too believe that this is a preliminary manual (submitted for the FCC's approval) because (1) there are no page numbers and (2) the creation date is 9/13/2005, two months ago. - Gromit, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0It looks like Pelican is making an HDMI cable: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B000BCEJW2/qid=1131970548/sr=8-1/ref=sr_8_xs_ap_i1_xgl63/002-7990941-5673610?v=glance&s=videogames&n=507846

"HDMI is the same as DVI, but a smaller head to the cable."
not quite...HDMI also carries audio. - aeproberts, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Dolby,
How could you possibly say you hate the X360? Have you played one? Have you actually tried it? I am not Microsoft fan, but there is nothing more annoying than people jumping to conclusions and posting about something they have obviously never had any experience with.
Wait until it is out and you have tired it before you start ripping on it or you just come off as some kind of Sony shill. - CompIsMyRx, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0What's everybody talking about? I thought "The Ring of Light" was a sign that this indeed is legitimate and the ?? page numbers only add to the veracity of this pdf. (/sarcasm).
- Snyder, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0i know. i was just making the comparison for "aeproberts" who was complaining about hdmi's downfalls. just wanted people to realize it has all the same abilities and downfalls as DVI. But yes, it also digital audio, which is why it is opted for over DVI for home theater systems.
- AirCanada, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0interesting...kinda
- scrdude9000, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0what does it mean when my xbox 360 starts but instead of glowing green it glows red and doesn't display anything on the TV.
- darthleppard, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0snyder...sorry if i seemed to jump you...apologies.
- seminis, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Is it legit? I'm not so sure.. If you look on page 6 of 26 of the manual, on line 18 it reads "See "Troubleshooting" on page ?? for more details" Whats up with that?
Could be a possible fake :P - duketogo, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Yayyyy!
- TheNik, on 10/12/2007, -3/+2If it's on the FCC website, isn't that enough for it to be legit?
ADURR I'm Dolby and I hate something that isn't even released yet. I also like penises. - AtomicTheory, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0CRAP, you beat me to it!
- okto, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Why the hell do we care about the MANUAL being released?
Can you play a manual?
Does a manual look good by your TV and impress your friends?
Worse fanboys than the mindless Switcher kids (real Mac users knew their OS was superior before OS X ever happened). - balazs, on 10/12/2007, -3/+0working now renamed the extension to .pdf. it think this looks a bit fake, but it could still be real.

http://theminiblog.co.uk/ - balazs, on 10/12/2007, -3/+0@dan4prez - Have you seen the video of the xbox 360 packaging being opened. The guy in the vis seems to be opening a retail box of it and shows us the fricking huge power adapter. I think it will remain that way, especially that it is in a manual. MS would have no reason to create a manual without the final xbox 360 specs and pictures in it.

http://theminiblog.co.uk/ - balazs, on 10/12/2007, -3/+0Beginning to think it is legit. 1) it's on the fcc website. No-one without internal access could put it on there 2) the design, remarks and footnotes seem to be real 3) it probably is.
