Another Xbox 360 pic?

Walmart where, on the fucking moon? :lol I don't care for the concept renders, but if this is indeed part of the real thing, then fuck, this doesn't look like no dvd-player . . .
I aint into the whole "looks" thing but this shit looks sweet.
 
The notion about the hard drive pic with a digital display really gets me geeked. I think the design is very well done, and quite sexy when it is vertical.

Besides, I don't buy consoles based on what they look like. If that was true I never would have owned an N64.
 
the first pic with tinge really killed the look. i want to see that entire angled pic of the console... because it looks VERY SWEET. that other pic had me going :S until that other shot came out

No way, N64's definitely one of the better looking consoles.

shut up drone #360, it looks like shit. :lol
 
I love the system design, but that new Xbox font has got to go. It looks ridiculously plain and uninspired. I can see MS was trying to go for a new sophisticated looking font, but it's way too boring. I wonder what the actual 360 logo is? Surely it's more than just "Xbox 360" written out.
 
A good observation i saw at TXB

Two different version is evident(maybe not...). The cheapest one gotta allow the harddrive update if not, its a big bad move from MSoft
 
For all the people who think it's big, take a look at your DVD drives in your computer. Place two of them side by side and that's basically the width of the Xbox 360. It's also maybe an inch thicker in height. It's damn small compared to the behemoth of Xbox.

thats no observation. The first pic is obviously a concept type design/render, while the 2nd looks like a photo of the ACTUAL hardware, so it would make sense that some of the buttons, colors, and fonts would be place holders in the 1st pic (look at the font fof the memory card slot) What sense would it make to change those things in a 'less expensive/HD less' version?
 
ok , i am 100% sold on the look of it vertical. it looks awesome. screw the haters

horizontal though looks really really unbalanced. this will definitely sit upright in my entertainment center
 
I really like the pic with the HDD on it, but that's probably because I think it is lit up better (more natural). The color of the original pic screams cheap, along with that huge ass power button. About the digital display for the HDD so you can take it with you...doubt that.

Overall, I think when more pics come out it will look a lot better, but I think the huge power button needs to be toned down. It goes against the type of vibe the rest of the design is putting off.

the all white one is probably the final design or very close to

if you look underneath the console you see a reflection of some sort... meaning it's probably a cut off of promo art.
 
Interestingly enought that side pic doesn't venture far enought to the right so that we can actually see the power button.

But I guess in reality we all saw the power button a while ago on ourcolony's first page :P

Another difference to note, the writing "Memory Unit" is etched in on the supposed render, while the photo it is printed (with a different font and in all lower case).

only thing about the white photo..of the front. the power button and xbox 360 are obviously fake. but the rest of it is looking completely real
 
The side pic is obviously a bit more polished, more finished design. The memory card font looks nicer for example, and the side actually looks nicer than the front, which still just looks goofy in comparision. Interestingly enough, the side does seem reminiscent of G5 design, but I think making it using that silverish plastic might just make it look like a cheap knock off of the mac design.

The power button looks weird but xbox 360 looks pretty much identical to the logo show in the mtv commercial, so it's not fake.

Ditto. I was a little underwhelmed by the front shot...but the other angles and especially the hard disc/flash/whaterver storage slot are all very slickly designed. Color me impressed. Can't wait to see the final version.

And it looks about 50% the size of the first one.

Now all I need is BC out of the box and MS has me at launch.
 
I like the look of that angled pic. Like I said, I'll wait until the official unveiling to form a final opinion, but it's already looking better in that other pic. MS is doing a good job with the marketing as far as the hardcore fans are concerned. They've building a lot of buzz going into E3. Is this reverberating through the casual community too? PEACE.

its the right font and everything, but it just doesn't look right to me. i dunno, maybe i'm looking too hard

Just had a thought of why these two pics are different. remember, some people won't HAVE the hardrive (if indeed there is one), so for them, they have a blank cover on the hardrive bay:

xbox360.jpg


This would explain why there's no information inscribed on the metal plate--it's just a cover/spacer. meanwhile, for those who DO have the harddrive:

1114229643.jpg


it is also possible that that is not an engraving of 40gb, but possibly (?) a digital display of how much free space is left. That would certainly lend to it being a portable unit of some kind (IE, and I'm going out on a limb here, if it WERE a digital display, when not connected to the X360, it could display, oh, song/mp3 information? )

Heh. sorry. Speculating at 12:30 am ain't too healthy, I know :lol

EDIT: evidently, I am not alone in that assumption!


I just noticed that the size of the mesh is different from the 2 real pics...
 
Xenon = approximately 3.26 liters in volume (a little less due to concave design)
Xbox = approx 6.29 liters in volume


for reference:

PStwo = .97 litres...
PS2 = 4.17 litres

Someone did the math to find the dimensions... that would put Xenon at about half size if it was the real deal.

So that makes it 3/4 the size of PS2... nice!
 
The look has already grown on me in one night. It actually makes me want to get one, rather than the xbox which made me want to vomit (I would never make a summary judgement on the look of the box though).

Bish.. no tag? ;)

Looks like a futuristic toilet seat...

Still beats the pants off that other mock that looked like a camera. Very N64ish.

I thought it came off as a coffee cup warmer... but maybe that's just me :P
 
so yeah... again..

this is 3/4 the size of PS2 (volume wise)

and almost half the size of Xbox (again, volume wise)

=D
 
So this is the real thing after all, huh...

Well, I'm glad if true. It's not offensive, and I can learn to dig it. Not blowin' my mind, but definitely passable. Grade - B-.

yes, the white coloration works so much better
 
Am I the only one who likes this design??? Apart for the over sized power button I think it looks gorgeous...... :)
