To give due credit, this was spotted on GAF first.

Now someone please come up with a photoshop image of that description.

 

[one]

The logo is described as a simple, round nexus with "Xbox 360" written inside it.

What is it like, this 'nexus' shape?

What is it like, this 'nexus' shape?

I believe a nexus is a link shape. i.e a rectangle with rounded edges.

Do you remember a fake that was a Nintendo console named Nexus?

Could be this.

 

[rabidrabbit]

Concave, like tis?

 

[PC-Engine]

Probably something like that but just not as fugly at least I hope not since I plan on getting a Xenon console myself if the launch games include a mustbuy title that I cannot get on Revolution.

oh man I remember that. Most mock ups people come up with look pretty bad but that was probably the best fake console pic I ever saw. Anyone know if the pic is still floating around?

Actually nexus is a place, where Kirk went in Star Trek 7.

 

[Qroach]

He did? Well, going to the nexus is better than going to uranus.

 

[Guden Oden]

I guess london-boy might argue with you on that point...

 

[Qroach]

eewwwwwwww. No sir, that's a one way road straight outta town...

 

[cthellis42]

Do a Google Image Search for "nexus" and you end up with some pretty cool pics! You think Microsoft could make their console look like this?

Also, if you have SafeSearch on, Angelina Jolie's boobies (from Gia) are somehow the third result! Good ol' GIS... I'll take those over a next generation console any day.

Oh my god !!! Its the flux capacitor . We can all go back in time with the xbox 360 !!!!!

 

[Qroach]

gonna go back in time...

 

[clem64]

you didn't like it??

if any of the three consoles would end up looking like this I'd be very happy!

 

[Qroach]

Nah it looks too toyish for me... I want my console to look something more box like... I look at that and want to hang a phone receiver over it.
