Xbox 360 pics..again

[Absinthe]

*envisions that controller setup*

...Hmm, I dunno.

 

[jimbo118]

Oh God, that looks horrible... It looks like the kind of thing that snobbish art pricks with berets would gather around and socialize about while drinking coffee and taking notes (in poem form) on their Apple laptops.

lol you're a funny bugger, if only ur av was nice to look at, i.m scared of it.

 

[Mr-Fusion]

Woeful design! It just looks awkward, as if they got a 1-eyed retarded kid to draw it in his spare time. It's all out of proportion.

arghh no that's just horrible, no way would i DEFILE my lounge room with something so hideous



ahaha

 

[h00dlum]

I think it looks okay, way better than the first one. Well Xbox sucks anyway...go PS3!!

The updated specifications have apparently been leaked. As always, there's no proof that they're legit, but they do seem pretty believable:

I heard in some website that is the definitive xbox360

that the pic was leaked from the recording of the MTV anoucement

 

[NikolaX]

Nice specs, and i like the new look of xbox. Xmas ready

Is that the concept of the special controller for the new extreme frisbee game expected to launch with the Xbox 360? If not, for a console, it looks like... ass... IMO, of course.

 

[guchi]

yes, its a frisbee

with gyroscopic controll

 

[The Mullinator]

Its almost like they are trying to make it look good if you were to set an ipod next to it. Doesn't look like anything Microsoft would design.

 

[SimonomiS]

iPods and Apple style design sells. Guess thats what they're going for. Art student chic.

They probably ripped it like bill gates ripped his idea of microsoft

PS: The dude in your signature is very right actually

 

[Absinthe]

PS: The dude in your signature is very right actually

That he gets stuff for free? True.
That he OWNZZZ? No. On the contrary, in fact.

OT: I still hate the design, but the specs nearly made me wet myself.

 

[Murray_H]

The controller, the camera, the headset, the camera, and even the console itself...there have been a lot of Xbox 360 leaks so far.

Now, it seems a full list of Xbox 360 specs and Xbox Live details has been leaked. This list comes from a thread on the Team Xbox forums (the thread has since been deleted), and the TXB poster originally got it from another un-named forum.

To sum up the important stuff regarding XBL:

There will be two versions of Xbox Live. Silver is free (everyone gets it), and Gold is a paid subscription, like the current XBL. It looks like Xbox Live will be free on the weekends for everyone; Gold members will get it all the time, obviously. Current Xbox Live accounts will carry over to the 360 and become Gold Xbox Live accounts. Both Gold and Silver members will be able to download demos, trailers, and other content through XBL.

This info seems pretty legit, and some insiders have confirmed that this is indeed a real leak. At this rate, you have to wonder if Microsoft will have anything left to reveal at the MTV unveiling on May 12.

Ooooooo
