The First Real Image of the Xbox 360?
According to reliable sources close to different sites around the Internet, this indeed is the final design of the Xbox 360. It actually looks ... quite nice. Very much like an ipod with the smooth curves, and what's interesting is the lack of any controller ports. It seems like the rumors of wireless controllers are indeed true.
Of course, this could just be yet another elaborate hoax, but I don't know. This design seems like it could be the real deal. What do you think?
damn that green thing (power button?) is massive!

Posted by kevin at April 23, 2005 03:22 PMi dont think thats the xbox 360, wireless controllers would cost a lot from battery use, and suck when u run out of batteries in the middle of a game
Posted by xnodas at April 23, 2005 03:35 PMIt looks awful..i hope it's not the final design.
Posted by Xcelcius at April 23, 2005 08:05 PMyou can tell its photoshopped by the perfect lighting
Posted by kevin at April 23, 2005 08:34 PMby the way if that cdtray is about as big a CD, and you compare it to the power button - thi button is about the size of a gamecube CD.
Posted by kevin at April 23, 2005 08:36 PMthat's awesome!
Posted by simman at April 23, 2005 11:29 PMIf you look closely at the powerbutton (yes again :))
you can see that the green circle isn't centered onto the button, not even keeping in mind that light can think you different.
This is fake!
Posted by Netherlands at April 24, 2005 07:41 AMVery nice picture,
However, as someone who has seen the X-box 360, this is not it, but it indeed has some traits of the real thing. Nice find.
Posted by Jack at April 24, 2005 09:33 AMThat doesn't look real... the text on there looks like it was faked, the power button is lighted differently, and one end is thinner than the other...
Posted by syphonbyte at April 24, 2005 01:53 PMHere is a link to the Team XBOX site where they have this picture and are comparing it to pictures that have been released from the OurColony.net site (the XBOX Viral Marketing Site for the XBOX 360)
http://news.teamxbox.com/xbox/8112/Xbox-360-Exposed/
So it seems that this picture is fairly close to what the final will look like.

Posted by kevin at April 24, 2005 06:18 PMthat power button looks totally fake, the tray looks nice though
Posted by jon at April 25, 2005 05:24 AMIt's a rendered picture allright, but it is "based" on the real final design of the XboX 360, so you can think of it as real, kinda ...
It's prolly been released by Microsoft itself, as a sort of quick look at the design,.
There's no way this cheap photoshop, nay, MS PAINT contraption is a final anything from anyone.
Posted by M@$t3r 0f t!m3 @nd sp@c3 at April 25, 2005 09:13 AMOh geeze.... the whole iPod thing scares me. I'm a tech at Best Buy and I get morons walking in with iPods every single day, all with the same prepubescent voice and a rich daddy standing behind them. One should have to take an aptitude test to own an iPod... "Yes, sir. You have to actually use a computer to put songs on your iPod." /sigh
With the way this thing looks, I can see more idiots walking up to me asking if they have to have a TV to use it.
