DaE aka SuperDaE Durango Making Headlines - Extra stuff you possibly don't know...

The Durango was leaked last week, DaE a member of the ASSEMblergames forum wasn't lying after all. I was told these specs a 3 months ago when I spoke to him on Skype. I didn't believe him 100% so I didn't share anything, until now they seem to be somewhat realistic.

So why isn't DaE worried about his career at the moment, and why isn't Microsoft doing anything about this? You'd think if all this information was real, M$ wouldn't waste a moment to remove the eBay listing. Yet DaE has ended the surviving auction only last night, it reached an insane 20K and he was offering the unit for 10K.

Not sure how much he sold the unit for, he's yet to expose that information. However, he does have two more units according to his twitter.

I later contacted a few editors about the Durango story, as confidential DaE is, his location doesn't match up at all. On the ASSEMbler forums, he's told many members he's from Australia, and personally told me he was in Europe for a few weeks on vacation and now the location of the Durango is from the USA. I suspect a middle-man is here some where. Not sure when, but he's changed his location on the forums as well.

Some information about the Kinect which DaE leaked an image of the Kinect running in the Visual Basic Environment on Twitter wasn't telling everything, or not everything he told me. I'm sure he's mentioned this information in the chat area on the forums or Skype.

[3/06/2012 7:11:00 PM] DaE: Its the same old kinect

[3/06/2012 7:11:05 PM] DaE: New hardware

[3/06/2012 7:11:09 PM] DaE: And 1080

[3/06/2012 7:11:13 PM] DaE: Looks identical atm.

DaE never showed the unit in the photos from the front, and 3 months ago I asked what the controller is like...

[3/06/2012 7:19:21 PM] HEX1GON: so there is a controller right?

[3/06/2012 7:19:36 PM] DaE: Haha

[3/06/2012 7:19:38 PM] DaE: Well

[3/06/2012 7:19:45 PM] DaE: Alpha kits come with a wired X360 controller

[3/06/2012 7:19:47 PM] DaE: Haha

[3/06/2012 7:20:30 PM] HEX1GON: hmm think they'll keep the 360 design?

[3/06/2012 7:20:33 PM] DaE: Yeah

[3/06/2012 7:20:35 PM] DaE: I assume

Earlier today while chatting to some other awesome members at the forums, the case of the Durango has been identified... The SuperMircro Workstations.

 That's all I know of so far... Any more information I come across I'll add here later. Happy gaming!

I'd have to say DaE, you're one brave MoFo yelling Yolo.
