If I build a trashcan console, do I get to see the original Xbox One?

 

[BlueManifest]

Always liked that prototype console that's how they should have released it

 

[crazyriddler]

The prototype was cool but impractical, the original Xbox was already big enough as it was, let alone putting that monstrosity in the living room.

I'm glad Tito's work has been recognized, the work he put into making the replica was impressive.

You wouldn't need to build anything, just slap an Xbox sticker on a VHS player!

Wanting more info on the Magnus project. Will it replace my PC or not? I expect people to put the guts into interesting cases.

Magnus will send off my 1060 to its deserved viking funeral.

Damn, "that belongs in a museum" sort of vibes!

I actually liked the first Xbox quite a bit. It had quite a few games at higher res vs competition, built in HDD was great, a bunch of great games that weren't available unless you had a gaming PC, and a lot more.

Hell, I even liked "The Duke"!

the only real issue the Duke had was the dpad design, which was probably made by someone who never played a video game before.

Yeah, that kind of sucked. A lot of folks were complaining about size though and I felt that it was just right. To be fair, I have pretty big mittens, lol.

No but maybe Apple would.

my hands are pretty average, and I also never had an issue with the size. maybe when it first came out, when I was a wee lad, I had a bit of an issue with it in long play sessions, but even then I don't remember having any real issues with it.

the Controller S had a better Dpad, and had better ergonomics for more hand sizes, but I hated how they fucked up the 6 Button layout.
they should have improved on that layout and not completely change it. black and white were way too hard to reach during fast gameplay moments on the S

lol we all had crts then, it would be a floor stand.

Titos work is always great

Yep, love his channel and its great that MS got him out to look at the real thing.

 

[MrTroubleMaker]

That was cool! Funny how the mockups was larger then the prototype. Hopefully they can get that mk2 the same size as the prototype.

If not, Apple might invite you down to their campus though.

Maybe the design isn't ideal, but it's a nice reminder that consoles are also toys, and that with their exterior design, features, and games, they should make the user feel special. I don't want a cheaper pc in my living room, I want a toy with its own identity.
