I hope it's Milo for some hardcore snail-squashing action.

I seriously thought this whole "what's in the cube" thing was Molydeux.

Well with Moly involved, whatevers is in the box is not worth worrying about.

EDIT: There are already far to many comments on this 30 second clip, Molyneux has already won, I suspect there will be another box inside the box, and that box will cost 1200MS points.

I hear you can kill the box and it will be gone forever. Also, blades of grass, or something.

Peter Molyneux is a marketing genius. Just from this 30 second ad, I already want to play the game for some reason.

I'm hoping this shitty "experiment" fails miserably so that no one else tries to milk the gaming public like this again. Micro-transactions are bad enough; this is a whole new can of worms.

In all seriousness, there will be one of three things in the cube:

*Some dumb message about how great everyone were for coming together to dig in to read this message.

*Some dumb trophy/achievement.

*Both of the above.

There is nothing inside the cube. If I know Peter Molyneux (and I don't), then the cube either has nothing in it, or something really cute.

The box can plant a seed when it's a young box and watch as it grows. Also, scars will remain on the box for its entire life, and affect how NPCs react to it.

It's Peter Molyneux's balls.

Which are in a state of quantum flux. So, once observed, could literally be anything.

Really looking forward to this. Molyneux's been attached to a lot of games I've really REALLY enjoyed, Theme *, Fable 1 & 2, Black and White... Now, without pressure to make a commercial success, We get to see some real Molyneux in action.

Damn it! It has probably been said before, but this concept keeps bringing Brad Pitt to the front of my mind yelling his line from Seven.

If it isn't Peter Molyneux's glorious, liver-spotted balls, no sale.

To be clear though, I'm not buying this either way.

My entire involvement in this game will consist of listening to other people talk about it. Then finally when they get to the end and the box is open, there will probably be nothing inside. Which will be, you know, one of those MIND BENDING TWISTSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!youcanpetyourdoooooooooooogggggg!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Maybe it's an end-of-Fable 2-style choice. You can reset the cube and everybody else gets a little money, and the cube can be farmed again, but nobody else knows who broke in. You can destroy the cube forever and get paid big, but everybody knows about it. Or you can just resurrect your dead family members and dog...in real life!

I can maybe make out one or two characters but it's far too poor quality to read, assuming it's even anything at all.
Yeah, I know. That's a problem with the logarithmic nature of the scale. The only spectrogram I have that shows frequencies that low has a maximum output resolution of 8192 units tall, and most of the detail is wasted on the higher frequencies. Foobar 2000 allows up to 16384, but doesn't show anything below ~30 to ~40 Hz. If anybody knows of a better spectrogram program or plugin out there, I'd love to know of it. Seeing what sounds look like is fun. Dubstep almost looks like it was made to be graphed out like that, with all the converging lines and patterns.

This is the Peter Molyneux Singularity. Maximum hype, almost zero percent chance of a payoff.

Geeeez! The ego! The hubris!

The mystery box contains a product that will receive tepid consumer interest and lukewarm reviews and sales.
