I started working on this yesterday and I finished the front design today.
I'll post my progress as I get more done. I'm currently working on a side view that will show the ergonomic finger slots and the side triggers. I'm also working on a lid that slides down over the front of the machine, so that you can protect the screen if your prone to accidents, like myself. Or if you would rather not deal with it, and your like Null and never scratch screens, you can just take the lid off and leave it off.
I'm also working on a top and bottom view that will show all the ports this thing is going to have.
I'm very excited about this, because it's the first thing I've made in photoshop that is 100% mine. No renders or anything. I made it ALL.
I'm calling it the Microsoft XO because the screen is round. I was just setting around the other day when I realized that my field of vision isn't a rectangle, it's a circle. So that's what the screen should be.
Beneath the screen is a battery life indicater, which glows when the system is turned on.
Beneath that is a green microphone.
The two circle things that look a little like analog sticks aren't. They are felt touch pads. They work exactly the same, except you run your fingers over them. I thought this would be better so that the lid can slid on top, and so that you don't accidently break an analog stick while carrying it with you, because analog sticks are easy to mess up.
There are two HUGE speakers on the bottom, with a subwoofer in between them. The final design will have a way to turn it off if you don't want it.
Sorry if my watermark degrades the quality...I just don't want it stolen.
Also, there are some rough edges and points I am going to fix.

I moved the top felt pad down, used a brush to add a more 3 dimensional quality, and I increased the size of the screen. Also decreased the number of watermarks. heh.
