Xbox came out in November, how did you have one in September?

it likely had a different console at the time, and changed to an xbox at a later date.

also perhaps it’s not worth nitpicking minutiae over someone’s account of a tragedy.

I thought OP was a game developer and had a test unit. Not nitpicking, genuinely curious.

apologies, i’d read it in a more accusatory tone.

I mean to be fair, GP real did go out of his/her way to type specifically “original Xbox” in a story that had nothing to do with Xboxes. If he’s wants to include that, isn’t it a service to follow up on it?

not really, human memory is surprisingly non-linear, and temporal ordering is pretty poor. even for important events.

more importantly, making someone aware of their inaccuracy of something so close to them could quite possibly make them feel ashamed, or embarrassed, perhaps even disrespectful. but it’s just how memory works.
