Hurray!! The Least powerful of all three consoles is almost here

*runs*

What I really like about that design (if it is the final design) is it looks so bold. Walking past you can' t ignore the system because it stands out so much and draws your attention towards it. It definitely has " eye-catching" down pack.

P.S.

Saw this posted at another forum. It begins.

Eye catching? It looks like a goddamn WebTV unit. Color me unimpressed.

Bullshit Willco! This machine looks gorgeous. And it is also pretty small.

This is going to BE THE BEST MACHINE EVAH!" 1dkjf

Here is my take on things: http://games.kikizo.com/news/200504/101.asp

40 GB and memory slots...interesting. I hope you' ll be able to get one or the other though, as I' m not a big fan of memory cards anymore. I think it looks nice, and I guess we can expect to have wireless controllers too. Now if we could only see more of what it can do...

Ok, while I don' t know about that, even being a non-x-box owner, and probably not an x-box360 owner that machine looks damn good! I like the fact that they went wireless controllers. I bet that little door on the side is to accept cash/credit for all the online purchases you' ll have to make from now on! Color me impressed Mr Wilco, at least design wise.

Yeah, it looks freakin amazing!

That " infra-red receiver" looks suspiciously like an Xbox control port. The controllers had better not be infra red. Infra red sucks for controllers. RF is the ONLY way to go. If it is infra red, then that is a deal breaker. There is no way that I will be in line of sight with the unit at all times. How extremely gay.

I dont like the curved peices on the side, and the oversized power button, and the name has to be printed on the cd tray [just in case i forgot how bad it is]. But other than that it looks pretty solid and cool [a little like the dreamcast].

This means that those controllers are infa red, but then the leaked pics of the controlers look very small for infared, look at the wavebird for the gamecube, it has a big extra chunk at the bottom for it, and there is no evidance of this in the leaked pics, maybe they arent final? and if this is final, then there are poparly no way for wired controllers.

But still cool!.

Change is inevitable. Except from a vending machine.

Viva La Revolution! erm, I mean Viva La Wii!

They need to totally RIP-OFF the design of At Least the NiGHTS controller for the Saturn!

the wavebird only has the extra chunk because it needs to fit 2 AA batteries in it!!!

(and i have had my wavebird about 6 months now, use it all the time, and haven' t once had to change them)

The Wavebird is not an IR controller. It is much better. I seriously will not even CONSIDER the 360 if it uses IR controllers exclusively. That would mean I' d have to put the machine out in the open instead of down below and out of sight where the current Xbox of mine is. Also, the table that is between me and the console would get in the way. IR is old technology. Hopefully it turns out to be corded or RF.

Bullshit Willco! This machine looks gorgeous.

If by gorgeous, you mean WebTV unit, then yes. :P

And it is also pretty small.

Well that' s at least good, because when the Xbox first came out, nothing was more annoying than explaining to my friends that Xbox was not my coffee table, but in fact an entertainment system that played videogames! It really didn' t help that the original Xbox controllers were the size of dinner plates.

...

As for non-RF controllers, Microsoft would be a fool to use IR. So the likelihood is probably very high!

LOL! I just got back from EB with my Xbox360 and it is NOT an IR port. It is a female port. What goes " into" it? An Xbox controller.

One controller ports are the future of console gaming! Multiplayer is a fad!

No controller ports should be the wave of the future.. Players no longer play the games, they purchase games and watch the games play themselves ;)

FINAL FANTASY: THE CONSOLE?

More like Xenosaga. Or is that XenoSaGa? (I can never remember the proper capitalization on those stupid game names).

I seriously will not even CONSIDER the 360 if it uses IR controllers exclusively

If that' s the case then a lot of people need to be fired at microsoft. No bodies making IR controllers and thinking this is a good idea. No, if it' s wireless it has to be RF. Unless they go back to sonic waves like this olf remote for an old tv I have where different buttons make different noise!

If that was the case I' d buy 3 Xbox360' s!

What the fk is everyone talking about? Of course the controllers are RF and not IR. The IR thing is for... something else.

Adam' s got inside info and he ain' t sharin' !!!!!!!!!! Come on Adam you know you wanna tell us! Tell us!!!!! We' ll testify for you in court when they sue you for breaking your NDA and say we blackmailed you into telling us!

I told you.. I already got my Xbox360 from EB with 3 year replacement plan and it is NOT an IR port. Let' s just say you can use it as a second player port with a regular Xbox controller so you don' t have to go out and spend $90 on a second wireless controller.

Oh, by the way, I just wanted to say that the memory cards had better not be required as long as you have the hard drive. That would be teh suck. I would blame Kikizo.

And Kikizo would blame your uncle Miyamoto and break his legs.

oh my god ur actually impressed by that... montrosity??? if i had to pick betwen it an ps3 id pick it, but the next nintendo will cane its anus and rule the home console universe

nintendo will cane its anus

As much as I love Nintendo, if their new consoles " revolutionary" gameplay relates to this IN ANY WAY, I won' t go within 50 feet of one

Hey Adam, so does the real Xbox360 look EXACTLY like the frontal " picture" we' ve been seeing floating around for awhile now?

In a word: yes.
And the side shot.

The one you should ignore is the mocked one where somebody has taken the front shot, side photo and made up their own design for the top with an X.

The other misconception is that it " won' t be able to stand up because the sides are round!" . No they' re not. X360 is not rounded at the sides, it' s an optical illusion because of perspective. The side panels are both flat, but the front face is rounded, so when viewed directly from the front the side panels appear rounded when in fact you can' t even see the sides. Which are flat. SOLVED...

UH OH, I think I hear the NDA police heading this way! *hides*

It would be cool if it bobbed left and right when on it' s side due to the curved edges, yet never tip over due to the built-in Nintendo-designed gyroscopes.

I can' t wait to find out what' s behind door#1 on the right side of the thing. Maybe that' s where you insert your credit card.

Maybe that' s where you insert your credit card.

Come now Joe, I already hypothesized that 20 some posts ago! Of course maybe I didn' t pay enough money and the microsoft world domination task force erased all previous evidence of my exsistance.

I am pretty sure the door on the right is for ports like USB etc.

I haven' t said anything that is not public domain so you don' t have to hide from the NDA police just yet Bogard...

Oh, so when Adam violates NDA, Terry gets arrested?

Oh, so when Adam violates NDA, Terry gets arrested?

LOL, Yes.

Mwuhahaha!

we should make a game out of that adam!

' see how long you can get Terry arrested for!'

but then again it wont be much fun, cos you know, adam is the only one how can really play it.
