Supposedly real design of Xbox 360

Well, I have to say that I rather like it, and what I find particularly pleasing is that it will actually fit in rather well with my current DVD player & AV amp.........which rather ironically are both SONY and are both exactly the same light grey plasticy colour as this (albeit without the sucked in cheeks).

Hmm...it's not bad...better than the recent fakes going around and definitely better than this!

 

That little port on the lower left looks like an XBOX 1 controller port. The only thing I don't like is that the picture isn't detailed/lit enough for me to see inside it. (I just looked at my XBOX and it's the same size and shape outside, but there is a horizontal bar on the top side of the hole, I just can't see in this pic if there is one like it or not in there.) If it were USB you would figure it would be square. Hopefully it's not just some Eyetoy type of thing.

The memory unit slots on the X360 don't look compatible with the old units, but if they were to include even 1 controller slot for XBOX 1, that would be solved. (giving you 2 mem card slots to use.) As far as using more than one controller on XBOX 1 games, you'd probably just use an XBOX 360 controller for players 2-4. What do you all think of my theory.

 

hmm I guess it seems a lot of the rumors could be true? for once!

I really liked teh idea of changing the way it looks. I am curious how much can you change.I just wish the front had a small LCD readout.

 

I think its sexy.... I really really like that design. !! superb. I seem to be the only one here who thinks that... I dont care... its lovely !!

 

New pic.

Fake?

 

Definitely. And a terrible one at that. It's just a composite of all the leaked images (even has the watermark from one) with their wishful thinking of the X and jewel on top.

 

I am not really liking the cd drive tray. It looks cheap.

 

ugh i do'nt like the huge jewel , get rid of that and just keep the x

 

Umm, well, the top is all blurry for no reason. Kind of looks fake to me at least. And the logo on the green round thingie on the top is upside down when it's standing up, wtf is up with that?

 

This man speaks the truth.

Someone n00b at the TeamXbox boards made the composite.

 

what about wireless USB? that's supposed to be on the horizon is it not? http://www.usb.org/wusb/home


edit - and here an article saying it should be out very soon http://www.pcworld.com/resource/article/0,aid,120386,pg,1,RSS,RSS,00.asp


certainly a possibility i guess.


doh.. sorry just saw that aaaaa00 has mentioned wireless USB...

 

I don't know, maybe its just me but I am just a bit more concerned about whats "IN" the box than how the box "looks".

Like I said, maybe thats just me though.

 

Then you look at the PS2 design and say...WTF???


BTW anybody know why there needs to be two memory card slots? That's like having two floppy drives, it's so 90's...

 

PR shots with varying camera angles to hide ugly design features tend to make lots of things look nice when in reality they look pretty ugly. PS2 looks pretty damn ugly when horizontal and the stand isn't something that is included. When vertical it looks ok not great requiring a stand. It's like saying the GCN will look a lot better if mounted on a speaker stand which it does as a matter of fact.

Of course when you release them in different colors, they tend to look better. For example GCN looks pretty damn ugly in purple but platinum makes it look a lot better. I wouldn't write home about PS2's industrial design.

And regarding the memory slots, why not just have one and copy to RAM then copy back? Like I said it's like having two floppy drives, who needs it?

 

Well of course it's convenient in rare cases just like it's convenient to have two floppy drives when you want to copy from one floppy to another, but why waste money implementing iffy legacy design choices?

 

If you look at this image

http://home.comcast.net/~pocketfudge/xbox360.jpg

and then these two images (one of which looks as if it's an updated version of the other)

http://media.teamxbox.com/dailyposts/xbox360/rumor/xbox360.jpg

you can see certain aspects of each design are missing, for example in the vertical image of the console, if you look at the top of the image (which would correspond to the "Left" side of the system), you notice that the button is missing completely, as well as the LED light that is shown in the above images)

this either means fake, or there are 3 different, unfinished designs in these 3 images

Edit: Also the font on the "Memory Unit" ports is different in the first, and 2nd images
