Jeff Minter did an interview (http://blogs.guardian.co.uk/games/archives/2005/07/05/jeff_minter_vs_xbox_360_how_microsoft_bought_the_l ight_synth_vision.html)with The Guardian about the XBox 360 and the lightsynth is making for it.
Yes, I think so. When the x360 is installed as the media hub then users will be doing far more with it than just running games. I know that as soon as I get mine it'll be hooked up to my music server and my plasma telly and I'll never again listen to music at home without a lightsynth accompaniment. I am sure that many more non-game applications will emerge as game consoles transition into media hubs.
I will do exactly the same! Now hopefully Jeff will make some games as well on the 360. I would love a new Tempest.

It's probably something similar to those visualization plugins for Media Player and Winamp. Those things are just fluff if you ask me, no real purpose other than to give you something to stare at.

Well, what about a dancing character visualization?

I so want a break dancing master chief on my screen.

I wish he'd come up with one of these for my car, so I can have something to look at while I'm driving.

Jeff is the "Revenge of the Mutant Camels" guy right?

Playstation 3 doesn't have this feature, so I'm going to act like it sucks.

This is lame.

All i want to do on a Next-Gen console is Play games... I've got a PC for everything else.
