We haven't quite wearied of all these Xbox 2 rumors yet (trust us, we'll get there), but the latest is that Microsoft is furiously trying to get a working demo model ready for a surprise unveiling at this coming January's Consumer Electronics Show. This flies in the face of earlier speculation that they'd raise the curtain at the X04 event in September, but then again Bill Gates did introduce the original Xbox at CES a few years back. Either way they'll get the jump on Sony, which isn't scheduled to show off the PlayStation 3 until next year's E3 video game expo in May.
