Me neither, I went through every page in the thread...

It might be some kind of prototype design, kinda like the early PSP picture we got (leaked, whatever) from that meeting.

Final will probably look more like this:

You know, "LOL" is simply an internet reply. But I have to tell you that I quite literally Laughed Out Loud when I saw that! :lol :lol :lol :lol

 

[Suerte]

The hi-res image makes me think this is real, unfortunately. :\

 

[Midas]

Huh? The button? Probably has something to do with the wireless controllers.

 

[bogg]

are we sure thats a power button? maybe the power button is by the memory port b, and the circle of light just lights up when turned on.

Could be. Still looks kinda out of place imo.

 

[----]

There are no controller ports. That is obviously an IR port for a remote. The button with the curved lines next to it is obviously for turning on wi-fi or wireless for controllers.

its huge, so i wont post it in the thread

It's not that bad. I mean look at the original Xbox, that is the absolute height of fugliness. Hell, it manages to make Carrot Top look good. Just be thankful it isn't worse.

Could've done without the concave sides though, they look pretty daft.

Controller and/or USB ports might be hidden behind that oval door? Sure, it's pretty certain the console will use wireless controllers, but there might be one or two standard ports as well for those who don't mind cables, and don't want heavier wireless controllers?

Could be where you connect them to recharge?

from what I've heard, that's where the HD goes

 

[PhatSaqs]

No watermarks.

Where'd you hear that? There was some rumours flying about a few weeks ago about a removeable (& portable) HD.

 

[Ryck]

That is REAL.....I like it...

 

[bogg]

No watermarks.

Now that looks very real.

 

[PhatSaqs]

This is a photoshop job but I like it

 

[Doc Holliday]

MS officially has the worst product designers ever!

 

[Funky Papa]

Geee, that's horrible =/

 

[siege]

Looks sharp. I like it.

Sexy! It's 36 24 36 @_@

 

[Ramirez]

Ok the power button doesn't look that bad when it's standing like that,I like it alot actually...

 

[DJ Sl4m]

No watermarks.

That's fucking Pimp!!!

 

[Ramirez]

What's that button beside Memory Card Slot B supposed to be?

 

[radioheadrule83]

Wow! Looks hot!

I hope the top n bottom are nice n simple.

 

[MassiveAttack]

What possible benefit could there be in designing a concave console? I see no ostensible benefit. It's a bizarre design choice given that one of the nagging complaints about the original XBOX was its slightly convex design that did not allow stacking of components.

 

[seismologist]

from what I've heard, that's where the HD goes

i'm willing to bet that it's a handle.

 

[Mama Smurf]

It's growing on me, I have to admit.

Maybe it will stack perfectly on top of the Xbox? =)

 

[Goreomedy]

I actually like the design.

Any word on if the "all bells and whistles" version will be different?

Coming from a DJ standpoint, maybe it's a way to deter people from placing drinks like soda, milk etc on it while playing.

I had to build a half plexygalss wall to keep people from spilling drinks (placed on the DJ booth window which oversee's the dance floor) into the DJ booth and all over mixing equipment.

 

[XboxGamers]

I think the bottom is the controller ports. The door opens.

 

[Baron Aloha]

That HALBox360 looks great. I kinda wish they went with that instead.

 

[Pimpbaa]

I like the look, although I would like know how big the unit is (in comparison to other consoles).

 

[sc0la]

looks upside down to me =/

Well, the concave bottom side allows for a relatively cool source of air to be sucked in and expelled through the back. The concave top side allows nesting of the convex-bottomed Revolution when the N-MS merger goes through.

thats possible . it looks kind of like the usb door on my PC

I heard from a damn reliable source at Spong it's concave so it'll fit snuggly over the Jaguar and replace the current CD add-on.

Aliens Vs Predator 360 here I come baby............woooooooooooooooooooooooo )

 

[----]

The bottom enclosure port is probably for the optional hard drive.

The giant power button looks stupid when it is horizontal, but it looks pretty good when the system is standing vertical.

 

[The Faceless Master]

it's concave so you can stack it onto the original xbox for BC

 

[DCX]

Nice!!! I'll be there at launch!!

DCX

 

[aerofx]

So this is confirmed to be real? Why only 2 memory card slots instead of 4? I thought the mem card slots are going to be on the controllers?!

 

[Kuroyume]

I really want a hard drive and I'm not too crazy about cordless controllers. My TV is less than 5 feet away so it's f'n pointless for me. Now I have to spend money on freaking batteries? What stupid shit...

Anyway the front part of that picture doesn't look too bad standing up. Anyone good with photoshop or whatever and can make it black or red to see how the thing looks in those two colors?

 

[Moegames]

Looks kick ass..glad it aint a square box

 

[Geek]

it's concave so you can stack it onto the original xbox for BC

:lol

 

[Ramirez]

Now I have to spend money on freaking batteries? What stupid shit...

Holy damn!Batteries cost like 5 bucks and last hours upon hours :lol

I've only put like 2 new sets of batteries in my Wavebird and I play it quite a bit...
