Someone is claiming to be selling one of these on gumtree for £190 :biggrin-new: He is using the exact same picture. The ad must be fake but i just thought that I would post it here so people could have a laugh. The guy has put a phone number on the ad as well. http://www.gumtree.com/p/for-sale/xbox-one-devkit-early-release-only-one/1026410971
Hi everyone, I have tons of questions about the xb1 xdk. Basically, I found someone selling one unit, not knowing what it was. I came to their place and have been facing a striped/zebra kit (same stripes design as the one in the bays on the pic from this thread, not the one with the guy on the photo). So, to describe it, all stickers have been removed, the kinect was not present, no box either, except a small one with power cables and one usb cable. Now obviously I wanted to test it, plugged everything correctly and turned it on. The fan started at max speed straight at power up and we were facing a black screen with "kryptos" written in green in the center of it like ascii art style. So basically I could not play much with it. I have tried connecting the usb cable to a pc and seems drivers were found for many serial interfaces but nothing else really fancy. Is it a known/correct behavior (like if it was running in a bay I could understand such situation) or does that mean that the kit has been fucked up or put down remotly eventually ? I did not try to connect it to the internet box, just for precautions. If you know anything about this, I would gladly read about it. Cheers
small update, the seller was quite busy the past days (yeah sometimes people do have lives ) so I should hopefully get it by the end of the week. And be sure you'll get updates as soon as I manage to get it (if no other issue just postpones this)
