I really liked some of the other designs. what they ended up with isnt bad, though

 

[Mr Gump]

Top right one was just money in the bank*
































* For sony and Nintendo.

 

[Skin]

Hideos

 

[Suerte]

Bottom left is that one we saw on the table when Allard was giving some slideshow!

It must have been between that design and the final one.

 

[SantaC]

top right :lol :lol

 

[TTP]

the first one at the bottom-left looks like the it's the very first "leaked" Xbox 360 image we saw. The "looks like an oil tank" one

Edit: Damn, Suerte

 

[Dracos]

The final looks like a mini mid-tower pc. Boring as hell.

 

[Redbeard]

I like the little metallic one with the grill.

 

[AB 101]

Man, those are hideous.

I think the best one is the one thats final.

 

[VictimOfGrief]

repost. old.

 

[Ghost]

How the hell did they come up with so many butt-ugly designs (i like the final one).

 

[Funky Papa]

Once again (just for shit and giggles):

“I think of the design's iconic gesture as the inhale of a Martial Artist before a burst of power.”

Right on man, just don't tell me what the blue hell were you thinking while designing those prototypes, ok?

 

[Ghost]

Id like to know the iconic gesture behind the top far right design...


something along the lines of "It still doesnt look as shit as PD0" i imagine.


The more i look the more i think the one on the top left is cool, looks kinda fat in the middle, but the face design is cool.

 

[eso76]

Wow.
I promise I'll never complain about the way the x360 looks, from now on.

 

[joshschw]

top right :lol :lol

haha, you laugh but Microsoft could have made lunch boxes for kids modeled after it. They could have made big bucks.

 

[Firest0rm]

This proves that MS designers are indeed terrible.

 

[Insertia]

I wonder wtf the designer were thinking?
360 looks like a low budget 90's PC.

The top five prototypes look far better than the final product.

 

[jenov4]

I actually think they made the right decision with this one.

 

[DarienA]

Some of these look like shitty dreamcast prototypes.... no really that top right one I think... god did the DC look like that before it made its final design?

 

[DKJB79]

all are ugly...
what a waste of time...

 

[quin]

the top right one looks like my cats litterbox

 

[Gio_CoD]

I bet the dude that made the top right one got punched in the face as soon as he showed it to MS.

 

[SoulSonicForce]

Wow, they're all ugly as hell. :\

 

[StRaNgE]

anyone got the image and can ya post it up again if so?

 

[heavy liquid]

anyone got the image and can ya post it up again if so?

Here you go:

 

[dorio]

I like the 5th one from the bottom.

 

[Troidal]

They really wanted that PC tower-esque from the beginning I guess huh? Well, could have been worse.

 

[monkeyrun]

wow ... just wow ...... did they just goto dell, HP or Acer and ask them to help with the case design ....

 

[Dsal]

Maybe I'm missing something obvious and haven't been paying attention, but if the HD is attached to the left hand side, what is the oval hole thingy to the right of the power button for?

 

[Odnetnin]

mostly ugly. I think if you slotted the current design in there, you'd be hard pressed to pick which one is the better one.

How did this get leaked? Do they not have any control inhouse? Shocking.

troll, troll, troll.


Anyway this wasn't "leaked". They were shown on that MTV show.

 

[Legal Step]

Yeah like this thread title is better than mine.

 

[Gahiggidy]

11.5% smaller than the original.

-------------

Seriously, couldn't they have thought of some alternative ways to the layout thier hardware components? There all pretty much the same "bones", just have mildy varying plastic coverings.

They should'a outsourced thier case design.


p.s. - Taat steel dev-kit design is the one interesting creation from the group.

 

[M3wThr33]

Bottom left = the casing one with the two handles!
Editoop

I'm not doing any damage control but your constant trolling is getting out of hand. That's all you do anymore.

Yeah, why isnt he banned yet? I thought were trimming for e3

says both 1) 2) xbot. Prine the fact that you said PDZ was good = :lol laughable.

 

[Prine]

[Hitler Stole My Potato]

Odnetnin, show me where I've been trolling.

THANX BYE

 

[Legal Step]

I liked that video where the designer was inhaling to show what you would need to do when you turn the system on, to contain your excitement!!!!

 

[Odnetnin]

Odnetnin, show me where I've been trolling.

THANX BYE

I didn't say you trolled, did I?

You can't seem to take the good with the bad. Which is what 360's unveiling so far has been.

regarding testdrive 360

Wow. Very nice images all round. Almost like some of the renders you can find on CG orientated forums. They're either using Speed Tree or Onyx Tree Pro for the plants

Xbots calling for bans at any unfavourable comment is so predictable. I mean, can we expect trolls from you guys when PS3+N5 is unveiled. Of course the discussion of this forum will be about 360. Its about 90% 360 at the moment and you'd be getting people who a) like it b) don't

 

[Shin Johnpv]

man NONE of those designs are good they all have this bland late 90s dell cheapo desktop thing going BLAH

 

[midnightguy]

you can see larger pics of all the protos, here

Are you fucking kidding me? It's not like I was hiding my displeasure yesterday.

:lol

Where the fuck is chespace? Didn't he state that MS has learned from their mistakes? Maybe he meant that they learned how to make even bigger ones.


Man, today has been too fucking funny.

I'll take it however it comes.

 

[Screenboy]

I like the top left one the best, with some green LED's that see thru stuff could look cool.

 

[alejob]

wheres that pic with that MS dude and the bottom left xbox?

 

[Pedigree Chum]

You're a fucking idiot and I hope you get permabanned.
