[QUOTE="samuel337, post: 81866, member: 10347"] Interesting stuff about .NET CF 2.0 on the Xbox 360 - be interested to see what happens... sounds like it'll kick the PS3's arse anyway :D Anyway, the problem with .NET CF 2.0 is that I don't think its inline with the MP team's long term goal of moving off direct DirectX manipulation and onto WPF (Windows Presentation Foundation, aka Avalon).
