I just thought I'd make an official thread for all of our Origen Xbox360 thoughts, as well as the updates.

So lets see here, the site has currently been up for about 4 weeks, in the recent update 2 rabbits have appeared, 2 new fruits have appeared and latin text has appeared on one of the tree branches saying:

"in hoc spatio arbor noster floruit, fecundus pomies Elysii ignoti, qui in loco ludent electi, ab Originis angelis circumdati."

Which translates to:

"In this space our tree has flourished abundant with the unknown fruits of Elysium, who will play in the chosen place, surrounded by the angels of Origen."

The current SWF file is named: "week-4_with_latin.swf"

Here is some speculation from TeamXbox:

All these clues are pointing to an event that might take place on September 27th on a place (Elysium) in which some favored mortals will get to play Xbox 360 before the console's launch. The rumored NYC Xbox 360 store? Another store in Tokyo, Japan? What about Europe?

Let the speculation begin!

I can't find it on the tree myself, but it has been confermed, here is a screenshot from TeamXbox with a little explination:

In addition to the new rabbit and fruits, today's update of the Origen Xbox 360 website also has a text in latin in one of the branches. The text only appears in you zoom in using the Flash menu; if you capture the screen and paste it in Photoshop, the text won't appear.

Edit: Aha, I found it, it's coming out of one of the branches near the lower part of the trunk:

How can the words be written with a smaller pixel than what the tree has? It seems like when you see someone in a movie zoom into a pixelated image and then "fix" it so they can see the face of the suspect.

It's flash, so it's vector based... the tree itself is a rasterbased image, hence the pixels when you zoom in, but the text is vector based so it can be really really REALLY tiny without losing quality..

i hope this origen thing is an announcement of the "Core" SKU's death. that package is so stupid! Companies have already stated that some games will require the HDD yet they said the "Core" is for casual gamer. what the mother of crap is up with that!?

    • Browser vendors pen open letter to Microsoft saying "enough is enough"

      Google are hyprocrites for signing this. They have been pulling the same dirty tactics as Microsoft, only they do it on Android and ChromeOS.

      In some countries the law has forced Microsoft to display a menu on a fresh install of Windows which asks which web browser you want and it will install that browser. This doesn't add any bloat to Windows. It simply an additional step when setting up a new PC.

      Chrome is also a first party browser on Android and ChromeOS. And on those systems, Google is pulling the same dirty tactics as Microsoft does on Windows.
    • Unofficial script lets you install unreleased Windows 11 features without Microsoft Account

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Unofficial script lets you install unreleased Windows 11 features without Microsoft Account by Sayan Sen Microsoft has been steadily evolving the Windows Insider Program over the years, introducing new channels and testing paths that allow enthusiasts to experience upcoming and yet-to-be-released Windows features (some interesting hidden ones too) before they reach the public. However, one long-standing requirement has remained largely unchanged as users are generally expected to enroll in the Program and with a Microsoft account. That's where a third-party tool called "OfflineInsiderEnroll" can help. OfflineInsiderEnroll is said to be a lightweight script that enables access to Windows Insider Program builds on systems that are not signed in with a Microsoft account. Essentially the tool configures the necessary Insider settings locally and hence allows users to select and switch between available preview channels while continuing to receive builds through the normal Windows Update channel. If you are wondering how it manages to do so, it is made possible by a Registry value known as TestFlags. When configured to"0x20", Windows stops communicating with Microsoft's online Insider enrollment services thus preventing locally configured Insider settings from being overwritten. This allows the script to apply its own channel configuration directly through the Registry as Windows Update does not verify whether a device has been officially enrolled in the Insider Program or not. Previously the utility has had already supported the traditional Insider branches including Dev, Beta, and Release Preview. However following Microsoft’s recent restructuring of its preview channels, the script has now been updated. The latest OfflineInsiderEnroll version, 2.6.6, adds support for the newly introduced Insider channel lineup. As such, users can now choose from several Experimental channels in addition to Beta and Release Preview options. The update also retains tools for refreshing the Insider cache, resetting Insider settings, and completely stopping Insider enrollment when needed. Keep in mind though that will need elevated privileges when running the script (run as Admin). You can get the latest version of OfflineInsiderEnroll from this page on its official GitHub repo.
