Another Xbox 360 pic?

" the slim one and the HDD one i think it shows Microsofts "2 systems at launch""
They're both the same size.
[edit]
All in all, while I'm not jumping for joy with the design, I think it certainly isn't bad looking, in fact I think this really is Dreamcast 2. Notice that tis Xbox360 design doesn't depend on a gimmick like a big molded X, or fins or a crazy color and a handle, it's a return to the simplistic school of design las seen with the cool-white and uncluttered DC.

sly said:If the memory card slots are the same as the current XBox then find out how many slots you can get lengthwise and breadthwise and multiply the number by the actual breadth of a XBox memory card. That should give us near accurate dimensions.
There are 7 and a little bit..i measure the current Xbox memory card slots to be ~42mm. So 7x42 = 294mm. Let's round it up to 300mm to take care of the "bit". That'd actually make it the exact same height, pretty much, as the PS2. Can we be certain the memory stick slots will be the exact same size? Because judging by the CD tray, I'd be surprised if it wasn't smaller than the PS2..
But assuming the memory card slots are the same, this might be closer to the truth:
I don't see it being any taller than the PS2, at least.

That was fast!
I'd say its length is somewhere in between the PS2's big and small "boxes". The length of the PS2 is a little over 2 CD cases placed side by side lengthwise, I don't think the XBox 360 would be much shorter.All this talk about the XBox 360 is making the wait unbearable! :lol

I'm aware of that. There's a button for connectivity for wireless controllers on the right of the memcard slot. I'm assuming it's RF. Still I was hoping it might be for xbox controllers. >_> I guess it has to be for a remote since there's no other way to fit the remote dongle now.
Btw, those memcard slots look like they won't accept xbox1 memcards, The shape looks to be a bit different.

Exactly. I don't think memcards will be the same, and the only think on which we can base our assumptions is the disk tray: a disk dimension is fixed, so this should be a good element. Based on this, the dimensions difference should be like this:
I resized it so that the two trays have the same dimensions.,

The picture right above my post shows the controller ports for wired controlers....they will be usb and both ports are under the little door on the bottom. You will have to buy wireless controllers as the unit will ship with usb controllers that have cords.
This is the real deal. I think the unit is nice looking. Better than consoles from the past.
No i just want to see the back of the unit......cant wait to get mine on launch day.

Also made the Xbox 2 image to scale with the larger PS2 based on the DVD tray size... i used an image which had a PS2 slimline and standard PS2 size comparison also, and resized them to be to scale (roughly, the PS2 slimline is to scale atleast) at 72dpi. But juding by the resizing, its dimensions should be:
Height (Outer): ~7.8cm (give or take a few mm)
Height (Concave Area): ~7.4cm (give or take a few mm)
Width: ~28.5cm (give or take a few mm)
I done the same to the standard PS2, and its width was pretty much exactly the same width as my PS2 in that image.... so if tray sizes are to scale, i'd be pretty confident in those dimensions above.

looks like the concept design and the actual photo are somewhat different.
it's hard to judge but from the picture 360 doesn't look like it's concave, or rather, its shorter sides are, thus looking more like this instead
________

Also, some fonts are different (memcards slots): the ones used in the actual picture are very nice, while the ones used for the concept design kind of suck.
I like the actual photograph quite a lot, and i hope it's closer to the real deal than the drawing, actually i am under the impression someone came up with that drawing based on that picture but making a few things up about the rest.

This is what the first Xbox shouldve looked like.

Nice work Sscrew! I always forget how small the PStwo is(and I play one everyday). The XBox 360's size looks perfect, a great improvement compared tro its predecessor.

my only gripe is that its not slot loading. oterwise it looks dead sexy

I also like the design....very clean...
Also look at the grey plastic raised surface on the top of this pic:
Then notice that the grey surface is still there, but there is a thin white strip where the HDD rest on top of the grey strip:
It looks very thin....like perhaps 1/4 of an inch thick....I would imagine the actual HDD drive gets inserted in the shiny silver raiser and is at a right angle (going "inside" the machine towards the DVD disk tray) from the 40GB digital readout...
All in all, a nice, inoffensive (but not killer) design...

Just wanted to chime in: That looks daaaaaaamn sexy. I can't wait to get my unit at launch with a bunch of games. It's gonna put my home theater system through a great workout!
I don't mind the wired bundled controller. That's a great way to save money and still have the feature built in for wireless controllers to work with the system. HOT!

Thanks lol... i went one further and done rough estimates on current sizes (again, slim PS2 is exact and judged of official specs. PS2 standard size is using my ruler... and Xbox 2 is using the DVD drive scale LOL.)sly said:
Id estimate that the Xbox2 dimensions are easily within 1cm of being accurate. Depending on the DVD scale basically. I used the outside area of the DVD drive, it may well be the inner part where it curves around the eject button though. Either way, this is roughly the size we should end up with if this thing is real. If not, i just wasted 20minutes lol. :lol

Is it any coincedence the Next Gen Madden thumbnails on EAs site have an Xbox 360-ish shape?
When the pix were blank, each one had a silver background (like the X360 itself) a subtle hint?

For everyone looking for controller ports (for original X-Box controllers), then look at the vertical picture. It is beyond obvious to me that the oval-shaped object near the bottom is a cover that folds out or in to reveal 2 controller ports for original controllers. At the least, it may be where you charge the controllers, but I would assume that would be on the back to keep a clean facade.

Does anyone else notice that the colouring looks different in some of these shots? This was the first pic I saw, and I thought the colouring was horrible, but others don't have the same greeny hue..they're more silver/white/neutral and look a lot better. Maybe it's just how teamxbox saved their pic..

will totally Facebook friend you! *giggle* *LOL*
The 1st pic (in the 1st post) seems a little photoshopepd to me, particularily the power button, which looks like it was just lifted off of ourcolony. The 2nd 1 isn't that bad though. Why can't these people take FULL pictures of the consoles? Why must always be partial? :/
I still beleive my theory about the whole sidepanel up to the vented area coming off is the right one.
The HD's trim piece couldn't just cover the grey side panel as Klee implies because then the new layer wouldn't end up at the same level as the vented area, there's be a big step.
the only way it could work is if the entire side is removed to uncover the HD bay, into wich is inserted the HD, wich is a one-piece deal with a new sidepanel.
This whole thing comes off
And is replaced by this

Days like these...
Have a Blessed Day
Here's my 2 cents.... I absoulutely hate that asstastical (is that even a word?) concave design.
Oh well I'll still be getting an XBOXEN 3600 on launch.
I'm such an early adopting whore.
AM cry! :'(

You won't care what it looks like once you're playing Perfect Dark Zero, SSX 4 and such
LOL, i know its bad for heat, by i have one of my Xboxes sitting ontop of my PS2. Not too bothered about the PS2 overheating, it rarely gets used. But both my Xboxes have plenty of air flow and space... they get nice treatment. Since i know how hot they run (my dashboard tells me my CPU is at 50+ so i know its hot, my PS2 im clueless of which means i dont care :lol )Blimblim said:
"Theory?? Thats just common sense from looking at the pictures. Someone thought it worked differently?"
to quote Klee
"....I would imagine the actual HDD drive gets inserted in the shiny silver raiser and is at a right angle (going "inside" the machine towards the DVD disk tray) from the 40GB digital readout..."
Unless I horribly misread, he thinks the HD inserts into the silver piece in the middle of the side panel.

No, but making the system not totally square ensures that people won't just put it under the VCR/DVD/whatever. And it's not just Xbox360, PS2 and Xbox (gamecube is completely different design) also had some ways to keep people from putting them in the middle of a stack.trilobyte said:
Everything else is just good/bad taste...
Maybe it is.... bu tthen again. The more overheated Xbox2's, the more likely they are to have people making multiple purchases... faulty hardware worked for the PS2 :lol (j/k)Blimblim said:
BTW i dont think that this will stand vertically. If its up the way as in the image i posted... im sure it will lose balance sooner or later. And if its up the other way, its going to be sitting on the hard drive add-on/empty bay, which still wouldnt be all that steady. Unless their is an alternate add-on aswell, that has a stand at the bottom or something, how could it sit vertically?
I'm sure if MS designed it to stand on that end, they spent more than enough time testing and ensuring that it does actually stand in a stable fashion. We can't see what's on the side it'll stand on...there's probably more "flat" there than we can see from a head-on view.
If worst comes to worst, there'd be an accessory to help it stand, but I doubt it'll be necessary (like PS2's isn't).

I wasnt hinting at it not being possible, but as it being an indication that it may not be the real thing. I mean, it definitely aint going to stand on that curved edge, and going of the other picture, it doesnt look like the add-on area is enough to stand it on. And the front weight would cause it to want to lean forward i'd imagine. Opening hte tray would of balance it also. And if the hard drive is their, i wouldnt want it resting on my hard drive. It wouldnt be very good, especially if this design is for the heat conscious people. And laying that thing down horizontally.... im not too sure of that either. It wouldnt have much support when it comes to pressing a button and the console remaining in place. The current Xbox has a nice weight and rubber stoppers so it doesnt bude. The PS2 slides a bit. That would be like it was on ice... no surface area or anything to cause friction, just the rounded edges.gofreak said:
