watching bungies newest weekly update, something caught my eye. a crystal xbox sitting atop a TV that look strangely different than other xboxes. for some odd reason it looked taller and more cube like. almost dreamcast like in size but taller. wmp doesnt let you do print screens so i took a pic. excuse the quality. doesnt this look odd???

vid is here.

around 5:00.

its probably just the crystal case that makes it look different but i looked at my xbox and the back is completely different.

 

[suikodan]

odd camera angle.

 

[Pedigree Chum]

Maybe it's two xbox's stacked on top of each other?

 

[drohne]

that picture just looks like it's been vertically stretched. the proportions of the tv screens and faces are weird too.

 

[BeOnEdge]

thats what i thought too but then across the room those look normal. different angle but they still dont look as tall.

 

[DopeyFish]

I swore i saw a compact Xbox too, but it wasn't at the part you were thinking of they had a debug and something that looked like a compact right beside it on a desk near a window. I think it's before what you're discussing.

 

[Joe]

wasnt there a rumor of someone at e3 going into a room full of suits and on the table was a small xbox?

 

[BeOnEdge]

what point in the vid?

It is completely different, but it looks bigger than a normal xbox to me not smaller.

That picture looks like it's from a scene in a Japanese horror movie or something.

ok i'll look for it

 

[Deku Tree]

There are better pictures of it too if you watch for 10-15 seconds after the 5 min mark.

3:49-3:52 (in top left corner) when frankie is rocking his chair

 

[BeOnEdge]

there are but they dont show the whole thing. only the side. i wanted one with the top and the sides. the angle you are referring to had different looking venting possibly as well. like a tall section and a shorter section.

thats a dell laptop.

 

[DopeyFish]

lmao.

 

[Go Go Ackman!]

Yeah, I noticed that shit too. There's also an oddly squat transparent green xbox on one of the tables earlier in the clip.

 

[Pedigree Chum]

Well you're not too far off the mark then Dopey. ZING!

 

[DopeyFish]

The green ones are debugs, what was seen in the first post is a Development Kit (XDK)

They're massive and they're like the crystal Xboxs

 

[element]

yeah, it is an XDK from a strange angle.

They are about 1 1/2 times taller then a normal xbox, because they have a SCSI port for DVD emulation.

 

[Ghost]

5:12 you can make it out pretty clearly.

The man is correct

I believe the video was meant to be viewed with a 16:9 aspect ratio. Didn't you notice how EVERYTHING is stretched?
