It don't matter if yur black or white

 

[sprsk]

thanks spong you guys are great

 

[Ghost]

..and really..really slow.

 

[StoOgE]

wow, its just like the old thread, but with 100% more spong. Boy we're lucky.

 

[heavy liquid]

I feel like I've seen this somewhere before...

 

[Cerebral Palsy]

eh

 

[bogg]

What would we do without spong?

 

[Odnetnin]

so that's 360's front plate? I reckon that silver bit is the disc tray.

from the photo... it sort of looks ugly.

 

[tracky_dacks]

Well it supposedly could stand vertically, so if this is indeed the 360, I'm assuming that's what we're seeing.

A handle maybe?

the button =/= eject?

 

[Funky Papa]

This is weird, unless there are different colors it is supposed to be white.

 

[Chittagong]

Luckily it's Friday today - I'm fully expecting some drunk journalist to spill the beans in a pub this weekend.

 

[Speevy]

Microsoft just decided that it would be cheaper to sell you a PC.

What you're seeing is the infamous "xPod."

Holding in on the button in releases the pod, and you pick it up using the silver handle that pulls out of its top.

So, the portable harddrive we've been hearing about?

 

[border]

I thought it was already confirmed to be a photo of the new XDK?

infinite% more spong

 

[DopeyFish]

which i state is NOT confirmed.

and also probably doesn't have.

 

[Folder]

It's a close-up of the machine, 100%
Had to sit on it while we got it verified by a friendly-ish source (the kind that won't tell you anything but will say yes or no) and he came back affirmative.

What would we do without spong?

That's a little unkind. We just wanted to make sure we knew exactly what it was. This is a close-up, 100% If not, I'll never post here again. So please, less of the hate. Just trying to undo the mystery of the image. And we did.

 

[nightez]

I like spong they actually get it right most the time

How much did they pay you?

 

[Dice]

The system stands vertically like PS2, but it loads cartridges on the top.

 

[Folder]

How much did they pay you?

It's an open offer.

Just for taking the piss out of launch party snaps you can have a DS and complete launch software in out fantastic new caption competition!

Come on, I must be allowed a plug, if just for my grace under fire!

See the wild-eyed urban youth? This is a meeting neither man really wanted. Let us know what you think is going on, again in 20 words.?

At the Nintendo event, a girl was actually in the queue. Eager to show that the fanbase didn’t consist entirely of sun-starved males, Nintendo photographed her. A lot. See how she looks scared? That’s because she is. But what specifically is she thinking??

Back on topic, the picture has been varified by someone who's seen the machine. So it's a start. I expect full shots to begin leaking in the next week or so. So many people have them, it's a joke they think they'll be able to keep it under wraps.

Do you know what's the capacity of 'xpod' drive?

 

[B E N K E]

This is not the final design.

What's with that pic? That guy looks like he's a killer and Kojima looks he's about to dart out the room.

Welcome to bad launch parties with reluctant Japanese designers open to the general public in London.

 

[dorio]

That looks huge.

 

[GhaleonEB]

That looks huge.

...most shots of things that close up look huge.

 

[kitchenmotors]

:lol :lol :lol

I would be so amused if that turned out to be actual X360 hardware. Microsoft uses G5 Power Macs for development tools, then rips off the hardware design. :lol

Is that Beetlejuice from Howard Stern?

If they do that, they better not screw it up by making the case of plastic instead of aluminium. I can't tell for sure what it is on the photo, though.

 

[HokieJoe]

:lol :lol :lol

I wouldn't be suprised if MS enlisted Apple's industrial design team to help them in creating a sleek uber-chic design. That would be ironic, hilarious and cool all at the same time. :lol

and it would NEVER happen. First, Steve truly hates Microsoft and second, he will never let anybody talk to Mr. Ive

 

[Lord Error]

He didn't seem to hate MS when they invested craploads of money into them... or when they used G5 as devkits. I doubt Apple did the design, but who knows.

 

[HokieJoe]

C'mon folder, I think you have sneakily leaked the REAL 360 pic here:

:lol :lol :lol

Exactly. Ol' Stevie boy was eating some mucho grande crow after that cash infusion. He did put the best face he could on it though.

:lol exactly what i was thinking. dude has a TINY head

Looks like they're preparing to start a fierce thumb-wrestling competition.

 

[pj]

It don't matter if yur black or white

I like the siding behind it. Why would an xbox 360 be outside a house?

 

[Odnetnin]

what's scary is the look he's giving Hideo. I SEE YOU!

 

[KyotoMecca]

You have the most irritating avatar I have ever seen.

 

[Suikoguy]

This time its so big it has to be placed outside, thankfully its wireless so you don't have to worry about running a wire to your TV or internet

 

[StoOgE]

hey, can I write for Spong?

Ive got an awesome exclusive on Kojima murdering a london street youth. the real twist is, it turns out it all took place in VR, in a modern day village where the elders tricked Kojima into thinking the VR was in the past.
