XBOX 360: THIS IS IT (PIC INSIDE)
 


According to engadget.com and their sources this is actually it. Don't really see the point of it being concave but tis nice. Looks like it can stand upright like PS2...think would look a lot nicer that way.

All right, after many a false sighting and tons of sketchy pics (the Xbox 360 was starting to give the Virgin Mary a run for her money), our sources are confirming that this is really it. My, Xbox 360, how concave you are! We also admire your simple, round nexus. Mmmmmm.
EDIT: Bigger pic from IGN.

meh...it could look cooler.

well, that's what those british developers said: it looks like it is sucking in it's cheeks.... and it does look that way... this could be it indeed

see my avatar?

happens to be the only good design posted on here yet. i like the more simple look.

looks nice.

That looks like the first legit design released so far.

Is that one controller port?

Teuthida 04-23-2005 12:06 AM

Re: XBOX 360: THIS IS IT (PIC INSIDE)
 
Looks like a receiver for wireless controller/remote. The physical ports are probably hidden behind that flip panel at the bottom...

Aw, looks so nice and 80ish in that pic.

Hmm, this picture an element of realness to it. We'll have to wait until E3 to be sure though. :(

Looks good, I like the silver color better than the black.

The pics that Crash posted looks like there is a 40 GB removable hard drive on the side.

Re: XBOX 360: THIS IS IT (PIC INSIDE)
 
I like the concave look, it makes it just a tad more interesting.

Behind the white panel? Perhaps... USB ports? :p

Seriously, though. The thing has 40GB, apparently. Microsoft could use the Flash Card technology.

Null 04-23-2005 01:25 PM

Re: XBOX 360: THIS IS IT (PIC INSIDE)
 
at least one model has a 40gig hd. the other picture makes it look like a different lid for without the hd version.

i really like that design, simple. clean, nice looking, i'd prefer more flat around the edges tho ontop and bottom to let it stack easier, but i dont think i'd want to put anything ontop of it anyway.

It doesn't seem like it would be stable to the ground. I don't like that it's like an arch.

Typhoid 04-23-2005 03:10 PM

Re: XBOX 360: THIS IS IT (PIC INSIDE)
 
Why wouldnt it be stable?

It would stand like a normal computer tower does.

Arches are extremely stable structures.

I'm going out on a limb: it's ugly.

Because its made my Microsoft.

Microsoft is the hairy Russian woman of the console race.
Playstation is the swedish blonde, and Nintendo is the stupid beach girl.

The console seems like it would fit in perfectly with a persons/familys entertainment system which is what Microsoft is making the xbox 360 into.

MuGen 04-23-2005 09:21 PM

Re: XBOX 360: THIS IS IT (PIC INSIDE)
 
It's concave look makes it seem like this Xbox is trying hard to keep it from being a large machine, like the current Xbox. But it does look a lot more realistic then many pictures that have been posted.

I like the silver grayish color better than the black and green. Interesting...

I agree. It's apparent smaller size won't overwhelm any entertainment center and it's slick design will either complement the area it's placed or at least not clash with it. I like it a lot.

The gigantic power button reminds me of HAL. If it starts talking to me and planning my demise I'd start to worry.

EDIT: New sig based on that...if Xbox 360 should ever crash it should sing the song HAL does before he dies:

Re: XBOX 360: THIS IS IT (PIC INSIDE)
 
i dont think thats actually that big of a button. only the center part inside the green circle would be the button. the outter part is just an indentation.

Teuthida 04-23-2005 11:28 PM

Re: XBOX 360: THIS IS IT (PIC INSIDE)
 
Still pretty big though. I can imagine people (at least the people I know) trying to turn it off by throwing objects at the power button.

DarrenMcLeod 04-24-2005 12:13 AM

Re: XBOX 360: THIS IS IT (PIC INSIDE)
 
Personally, I think it looks good other than the concave, which I'm not a huge fan of. Maybe they did it so it wouldn't just look like a fat DVD player.

Null 04-24-2005 12:17 AM

Re: XBOX 360: THIS IS IT (PIC INSIDE)
 
i dunno. to me it looks to be about the size of a normal button. finger tip size

Teuthida 04-24-2005 12:23 AM

Re: XBOX 360: THIS IS IT (PIC INSIDE)
 
You know you're right. I didn't realize how small the system really is. Took the pic as life-sized but going by the tray size it really is tiny (well, compared to Xbox).

On a 1024x768 monitor this is it life size:

Hmm at the moment I'm not liking it much, but then again it may just grow on me. I need more pics

Looks neat. I don't really like the tower look though.

wheres the reset button on PS2? a quick push resets, a push and hold for a second turns off.

could very easily be the same on here.

When I start at Best Buy next week, I'm going to look for this so-called "Marketing Book."
