Another Xbox 360 pic?

Yeah, I'm confused about that too. That's the only thing that makes me thing this is fake. It looks pretty photo-real otherwise.


I dont think anything on it looks photo-real, but the power button is the big give away.
 
Yeah, the lighting is artificial, it's like one of those PR shots/renders. Of course being a photoshopped render does not mean it's not a real design.
 
Oxygen (Element) is usually quick to throw out a "fake" out there. He's been avoiding doing so this entire thread. That has me worried...very worried.
 
oxygen's in damage control mode like never before. it must be the real deal. :)

it looks pretty bland like the tried too hard to make it look like
a new wave Sony dvd player. Oh well, that's what you get for going first.

Hehe... yup.

I noticed the font is identical to the font used in the MTV commercial as well.

If this is a fake then someone was REALLY paying attention to details.

I haven't seen any renders that have been able to not be discernable. The image isn't a render. You can see it in the way the light lights up the disc tray face plate, edges etc.

I think its a bit funny when you guys look at something real and say it ain't. Reminds me of that ACE COMBAT thread. :lol

okay. THAT'S NOT A RENDER.
 
Man, that power button looks super-fake on the new big picture :P

However, if this is not fake, someone spent a great deal of time making it. There are some really tiny details there that an amateur fan wouldn't bother with, and I really doubt it's a render to begin with.

Has Oxy seen the final design yet?

Great, now you've given Oxy a way out...

I would think that anyone developing for Xbox 360 would have some idea as to what the final design would look like by now. What are we.... 3-4 weeks away from E3? Plus he works for MS so the chances that he's seen it are even greater.
 
Even as a sony fan boy.. I have to say I HOPE this isn't MS's final design. What rubbish.

It looks like one of those 30 dollar dvd players you can buy at places you shouldn't be buying electronics (like car washes and such).

Yeah that or the great PSP "it's a thumb pad" / "no, it's a speaker" debate. :lol
 
i agree that the "circle of light" portion of it looks fake. its not centered, and the lighting seems off (unless its depressed inwards..). where is the grill portion from the ourcolony site? this bears a resemblence to that, but certainly ist the same....

I am trying to find the sense in this quote, but I just can't. Seismologist, you don't give a fuck about anything Xbox related, so please, if you don't have nothing remotely intelligent to say shut up and enjoy this moment from your computer.

Personally I don't like this design at all, then again this is not what Blimblim and me have been told, so I guess this is not going to be the final unit.

I didn't really read this message, but that avatar is :lol :lol :lol
 
And what is the button right beside the 2 mem card slots?

If it's an unknown...then maybe this is legit. Fan renders don't include mysteries like that.

what? if I was trying to make a mockup of it I would use that font as well.. we've all seen the commercial by now.

I just want a link to where this picture originally appears and in what context. i mean the "SA forums" could be laughing at us all right now :lol ..well, at some of you anyways.

nowhere have I seen a link to someone saying "here is a pic of the new xbox" .. or "here is the supposed new xbox" etc

thanks! (stolen from bungie.net's most recent humpday challenge)
 
better than the xbox, which isnt saying much. and where is the grill then?, it did look slimmer from the other shot. the top and bottom shouldnt be curved...urgh...
 
SuperPac said:
Ha. At first I thought the image in this link was just the original picture in this thread tilted vert. But the lighting's different, the watermark's different, etc. Hrmm...

the lighting looks the exact same to me, and whoever is the artist of this image could add waterever watermark to it they want...

OK, that one doesn't really look photoshopped at all. Smells real to me, but I'm prepared to eat my words. Not sure I like it, not sure I hate it, but looks pretty bland and plasticy though. Even though the PS2 is plastic it doesn't really scream out PLASTIC!! That white screams plastic though (even the Dreamcast was better at not screaming "I'm plastic" IMO).

What are video game systems usually made of?

Again, for comments like this, it's very wise to wait to see/touch the product in person. There are many different types of plastic though, and the richness of look they can give out can vary massively.

Well, that person could have received the different resolution images at different times and thought it would be funny. I bet that person wishes they'd had the bright idea to tint it pink pefore posting it.

Just sayin'
 
for the record, it doesnt look like a render to me... so even if a few things look a litte odd, i'm leaning towards it being real. if it does turn out to be a fake, they did a great job, and not just with the details (anyone can check out rumors to include whats expected), but the fact that it looks like an actual physical unit

that said, i like it. especially upright. not what i was expecting, but upon seeing it, it does sort of remind me of the ipod styling...
 
Im going to say its real too, looking carefully at the other supposed pic, it seems that at least there is a resemblace.......

i just had a thought... what if that pic is the side of the unit, closest towards the back of the system looking forward. the "grill" could be ventilation on the back side of the unit, with the little button at the end of the grill to open the case/face off to customize (as has also been rumored). the side we are looking at looks to be the top part in the vertical pic. notice that it kind of protrudes upwards a bit from the rest of the surface, similar to the way the top of the vertical pic

not sure what the chrome piece is though.

Hrm. You're right. Well damn. I take it back. What are the chances that the same guy would use two different fonts for a watermark? Take the time on one to make sure it's outlined in black then white to make it less easy to remove, but then on the other just make it gray?

that isnt hard to do at all.... especially if this same person made such an eloborate fake :P
 
Hell if I know if it's real or not, but that isn't a very good-looking console, IMO. It looks so drab and uninspired. I think I would even prefer the original Xbox to it -- as big and ugly as it was, it at least had character.

I hope it's fake.

I'm not sure if this has been suggested, but maybe it's sort of a hook thing for base if you want to have it vertical. Like it clicks together maybe.

it looks pretty nifty standing on its side like that. The watermark says "my girlfriend" This definely look leaked.
btw I never said it looks bad. just very generic and "safe".

That Spong pic looks like someone tried making a teaser for the real thing.

How so? I think it looks like junk, very amateur looking. I mean, even my artistically dysfunctional brain could come with something more stylish.
 
Hmm... I'm thinking maybe the capsule-shaped thing to the far right pops off and you can insert something there. A mini-HD perhaps? It doesn't look like it's a button and I doubt it's just for show.
 
That is real, and that is ugly. At least, straight on from the front, it doesn't look very good. But I'll reserve judgement for the official unveiling. I hated the look of the PS2 at first, but that grew on me to the point where I love it. This one has potential as long as the rest of it doesn't look like such a cobjob. PEACE.

This is probably the backside of the Xbox 360.

I think this is the real deal.
That looks like the "left" side of the system when looking head-on. That's the only side in the pic that would suggest a raised surface like that. I'd guess the vents are to the back, and that panel is removeable via that little button in the foreground. Argh, speculating kinda sucks. :( PEACE.
