1st. Interesting Thing:
There is a super secret kill-switch remote suicide self-destruct command
that if Microsoft really wanted to they can remotely trigger and tell an
Xbox 360 to fry itself and die.

第一条：防盗版和作弊玩家终极杀器。。。自爆  而且是物理上对主板进行损伤从而
导致三红。这么做并不违法，因为破解360或者修改玩家记录之类的作弊行为都是违反了
Xbox Live的最终用户许可协议。

2nd. Interesting Thing:
Microsoft is currently software testing Metal Gear Solid 4 for Xbox 360.
They might announce it at E3 but Konami likes to make money and Metal Gear
Solid 4 was very expensive for them to make.

第二条：Konami和微软将会在09 E3宣布360版MGS4。目前正在秘密测试当中。这么做的
目的当然只有一个，就是尽可能地收回MGS4的开发成本。

3rd. Interesting Thing:
Microsoft makes a lot of hardware prototypes and very few hardware projects
actually make it to market. They probably did start to build a Blu-Ray
player and a motion sensitive wand controller but they never got close
enough to making it to market.

第三条：微软曾经制造过带蓝光（译注：还是HD？） 或者带动作感应控制器的原型机，
不过最终未被采用。

4th. Interesting Thing:
The software testing group is chronically understaffed, underpaid,
underfunded and given impossible deadlines. This results in games and DLC
getting to market with game killing faults.

第四条：第一方的QA部门人手不足，薪水不足，经费不足，而且总是被催着完成工作。
结果就是它们能通过的产品（游戏以及DLC）当中可能还存在着让游戏死机之类严重的bug。

5th. Interesting Thing:
Harmonix is having Microsoft's Xbox Test Labs run acceptance tests on the
new Rock Band controller hardware. The Beetles: Rockband is coming along
and is playable.

第五条：甲壳虫乐队版的摇滚乐队以及新的摇滚乐队硬件将会出台。

6th. Interesting Thing:
Game developers and publishers can arrange for and purchase compliance
wavers from Microsoft if their game does not meet software compliance or
Xbox Live Network compliance.

第六条（译者淫笑ing。。。。这个问题可是普遍的，不是微软独有的问题）：
游戏开发商出版商可以出钱让并未完全通过测试的产品得到通过。

7th. Interesting thing: 8bitjoystick.com was considered a forbidden site at
VMC and the Xbox testing labs. They were discouraged from reading it or
contributing comments.

第七条：写这个文章的网站在微软内部相关的部门是被封的（译者继续淫笑……）

谁来研究一下第一条是不是真的违法了？

我翻译漏了东西。。。原文里面还有：破解这行为还违反了数字千年版权法的，而且这一招，微软还没用过。

大家还是看原文吧

而且后面对第一方QA部门的描述，以我曾经仅有的一点打交道的经历来看，我认为是足够真实准确的。
