Don't tell us this is really the Xbox 360's adapter

Xbox 360 brick adapter

We saw a lot at Microsoft's Xbox 360 preview event in New York last week and we asked more questions than were probably actually welcome (you can usually tell when the otherwise totally ingratiating Microsoft peeps start wincing and tapping their toes at you). But the one thing we didn't think to ask about was the power adapter. It was missing from sight (how convenient!) and we're sure hoping to god the one that comes with the system isn't the freaking insane brick you see here, which is rumored to be the AC adapter—at least the adapter for the dev kit boxes, anyway. Believe us, by our approximations the thing pictured here is roughly the size of a small nation-state.
