Allard looms over little silver box.
http://www.weblogsinc.com/common/images/7281865774352732.JPG?0.7120437591854326

Either someone has a very deft hand with their cell phone camera, or this is a good fake (or it’s a really nice surge protector). Pengo sends in this shot of Allard standing over a small silver box that could be the next Xbox. It has the rounded look that we’ve heard about, and seems sexy enough from a distance. Let’s start taking a look at the shadows underneath the device. It’s a great way to spend a Saturday!

UPDATE: Our buds over at Engadget have laid the smack down on this one. They say the box is a decoy. Their source promised that the real deal is much nicer.

That looks cool but a bit too raw it kinda looks like a over sized hardrive.

A decoy? Wtf? Why not show nothing. Nothing is a much better decoy.

Its probably a dev kit. I dont think MS is gonna have a white Xbox as their normal version. They'll stick with the black and green or possibly silver and green.

Yea, remember the giant metal X we were shown before Xbox release? Same idea here, won't be anything like it :P

Apparently, that was one of the so-though fake designs posted all over the net a long long time ago.

That's what I was getting at. I knew I've seen it somewhere before as one of those prerumor concept things.

Exactly! What is that?... An F5 or an FS for f**king stupid?!

I guess its not the beauty outside that matters, but what's inside... [Augh. I think I'm gonna be sick]



Don't forget about the rumored "shoulder button" next-gen controller on the left...

MS promised a sleek design, i doubt that's the new box. there is nothing sleek about a sliver box with a huge 'x' on it.

That controller looks even worse. I sure as hell hope they don't give me shoulder pads instead of Triggers. This "is" supposed to be an Xbox controller not a Playstation ripoff correct.

Is this the Xbox 2/360/Next/Xenon’s launch screen?

http://www.weblogsinc.com/common/images/1141583158314561.JPG?0.20541292272655154

Dan M just sent this pic from cq-ef.net that may be the next Xbox’s launch screen. It’s unverified as of now, of course. And will probably remain so for awhile (like E3-awhile). It is a bit suspicious that it’s called “Xenon Launcher”. Not exactly a user-friendly nomenclature (at least for the “mainstream”). If genuine, it should be considered a prototype, at best.

That screen is legit, but that image has been out for AGES. It's specifically for the dev boxes, and some fool simply put it on their PC monitor + placed their XBox below it, perhaps to feel "1337"
