Well, it does look better than the first xbox.

It would be a pretty amazing stunt if it'd look worse.

 

[gofreak]

It might just be the lighting, but the colouring of the render looked better imo.

 

[TheDuce22]

I dont care what it looks like, the reports of the controller and the shot of it in that pic are encouraging though. It looks like a more ergonomic and more functional Controller S.

 

[DopeyFish]

what render? if you're talking about the original Xbox 360 shots... those weren't renders.

 

[Funky Papa]

It may be ugly, but it is not big. It is roughly of the same size as a normal PS2, just as GAF's photoshops showed.

 

[gamergirly]

It reminds me of Dreamcast's color

 

[Chrono]

It looks nice. I like it.

 

[seismologist]

From this I'd say Gamecube looks better than the new Xbox.

 

[Wax Free Vanilla]

But with the customizable front plates it'll look great! 

[/sarcasm]

Money can't buy style.

So this is the whole customize your system's look thingy? A bunch of multi coloured power buttons.

OMG! :lol :lol :lol

And yeah, I have to agree with people here, that system design is complete shit.

"Way to go Microsoft!"

 

[BuddyC]

I don't like the new headset very much. I much prefer the current wraparound and Plantronic designs - here's hoping we can still use those.

 

[Odnetnin]

Um.


OH FUGLY. What the hell happened. lollers. :lol
this coming from someone who saw the silver images and said..sexy. That is ugly and will stick out like a ugly red-headed stepchild in anyone's av setup.

I mean... if its a Apple console, I'd understand the white. Its like trying to steal some of the uber-ipod-white cool from apple.

 

[Hollywood]

Jeez that thing is big. Haven't they learned? It looks like a 20 CD changer.

 

[OG_Original Gamer]

Right now, to me it doesn't even look like a console(atleast a gaming console). Maybe its the lack of controller ports, I'm not feeling the white either. I hate that damn camera.

 

[Amir0x]

Here's a larger pic of the HD and it's a bit brighter so you can see it clearer. Nothing special here, pretty much confirms the other pic.

And there's that center button. Circled. Is that the XBX Live button? Is it a trackball like the prototype? Can't tell.

 

[Kon Tiki]

Wasn't the rumor that the camera was built into the unit?

Then everyone would have to put their unit above the tv. Not everone can do that.

 

[Odnetnin]

some product marketing PR guy at MS is reading this and no doubt shitting himself/herself.

 

[gofreak]

Oh dear, the mods are flipping out on the TeamXbox forums..half the threads on the front page have been locked :lol They're trying to pretend none of this stuff is getting leaked!

 

[Funky Papa]

Right now, to me it doesn't even look like a console(atleast a gaming console).

They didn't want it to look like a classic console. Well, they achieved that :lol

Jeez that thing is big.

For the last time guys, it is *not* big.

 

[element]

there is no trackball on the controller. who ever even dreamed up that idea was on crack.

 

[chespace]

Oh yeah, I'm sure they're shitting their pants right now. You guys are fucking bad ass.

The system isn't that big, btw. Definitely smaller than the current Xbox. And lighter too.

 

[olimario]

It looks pretty good in a real situation.
Check out this photoshop by draiken on that other forum

 

[DopeyFish]

it's pretty damn small. hold 2 CDs side by side and you have the general length of it... if that isn't small.... well... you're crazy

plus it's thinner and probably lost a little bit of depth.

 

[Timbuktu]

Gamecube does not look bad, it looks like a toy but it is not as ugly as Xbox. I'm wondering now if it's actually white, or if it's brushed metal with bad lighting. The problem I have with white is that Apple has been too good with its design/ marketing that any other consumer electronic that is all-white would be seen as a wannabe, or worst it would look like a kitchen appliance. It needs a style of its own, like PSP's black at least.

 

[TheDuce22]

Anyone who ever had one of these sitting next to their tv cant possibly have an issue with ugly consoles.

 

[Project Midway]

You gotta love those cell phone cameras :lol

Kinda stupid from MS they didnt check the cell phones, its pretty common here in EU if there are visitors coming to check some confidental stuff...

 

[Amir0x]

there is no trackball on the controller. who ever even dreamed up that idea was on crack.

Heh. So it's the XBX Live button? It just looks...odd. And needlessly big. But of course it may just be a case of needing a better pic.

Oh yeah, I'm sure they're shitting their pants right now. You guys are fucking bad ass.

:|

 

[Odnetnin]

Oh dear, the mods are flipping out on the TeamXbox forums..half the threads on the front page have been locked :lol They're trying to pretend none of this stuff is getting leaked!

seriously? I'm checking the forum now. Why can't they show it anyhow. Leak's a leak.

Unless...they're actually tied back in with MS somehow and.... that'd explain that *ehem* PS3 editorial. :lol

* they banned a guy for posting the pic.

 

[PG2G]

Whats with all the controller bashing? It doesn't look much different than the Controller S, which happens to be great -_-

 

[Convergys]

 

[Redbeard]

This is probably why they don't want leaks like this to happen.

Shitty lighting, no sense of scale, etc... which is why you see people saying "it's too big" when in fact it's a lot smaller than the Xbox.

 

[OG_Original Gamer]

Now drug dealers will use it to hide coke on it before they cook it.

 

[MightyHedgehog]

Looks nice to me.

 

[Deku Tree]

Not too hot in the beautiful deparment if you ask me.

 

[gamergirly]

Humm, wouldnt look bad next to the computer.....

How exactly do you insert games tho? sideways? Nm, saw pic above

 

[Funky Papa]

On a brighter note, even if the design is truly horrible that pic is small and it was taken with very poor lighting conditions. I am sure it will look better when you see it in person.

I feel better now. Woo Sah

I dont think you understand ugly. Those are both stricking designs with nice lines.

you know what, it looks more like a HDTV receiver than a games console. That or some sort of weird looking tbing.

 

[Amir0x]

Anyway, as I said in the other thread the design that Mightyhedgehog posted and the way it looks is not offensive at all. It's actually much better than I thought it would be, and it's probably one of the better looking consoles considering how ugly most of them look.

So all in all, B-.

 

[gofreak]

Beginning to wonder. They evidently don't have the balls to tell MS to handle their own non-disclosure issues. Pandering to MS at the expense of their own users, imho. Oh well, go GAF :lol

 

[MightyHedgehog]

Humm, wouldnt look bad next to the computer.....

Wouldn't be any different from the PS2.

 

[Timbuktu]

Actually, it reminds me of Sky+. UKers will know what i mean.

 

[xsarien]

Size notwithstanding, it's still ugly.

 

[gofreak]

Anyway, as I said in the other thread the design that Mightyhedgehog posted and the way it looks is not offensive at all.

I agree, it's at least passable. It's quite neutral, there've been worst.

The camera looks a bit cheap though, but that's a small issue.

 

[Socreges]

I like my Xboxen like I like my men...

 

[Amir0x]

Unless that camera is intended to be included with every XBOX 360 I really could care less how it looks

 

[neo2046]

........... 360 is too big to me (if the pic is real)

 

[VALIS]

For last time guys, it is *not* big.

Ya know? This board has turned into GameFAQs all of a sudden. It's like everyone is 14 and hopped up on Cocoa Puffs today. Dumbest fucking thread in recent memory. No one is taking more than 10 seconds to look at the picture or read anything posted previously before gracing us with their opinions.

ZOMFG ITS AS BIG AS A MEDIUM SIZED MAN!!!1

 

[John Harker]

I don't like it either.

But, lets also remember this

<

So, things change pretty drastically from first reveal to final product.

 

[Amir0x]

........... 360 is too big to me (if the pic is real)

XBX360 = Smaller than XBX, about same size of PS2.

Ok?
