XBOX 360 Revealed?!!

[skorp]

Here are some General details on our beloved NextGen....



Not everyone has to wait around to hear details of Microsoft’s sexy new Xbox 360—and now, thanks to Kotaku, neither do you. An exclusive Kotaku source has revealed a bevy of facts about the next-generation console set to rock the Xbox world.

The original Xbox was a manly chunk of square black-and-green plastic meant to win over a generation of hardcore male gamers. The Xbox 360° will be about winning over gamers of all persuasions, with a customizable look and a kindler, gentler Circle of Light marketing campaign.

Our inside source says that the console is a sleek silver device worthy of countertop display, and features an inhaled design that turns the harsh angles of the original Xbox into sweeps and curves. The device will also be able to stand upright or on it’s side, much like the Playstation 2. The side of the 360° is dominated by an oversized, back-lit power button called the ring of light, and the rest of the case can be customized with colorful designer face plates that pop on and off. The 360°s dashboard will also be customizable, making each console a thing totally unique to its owner.

Some of the inner workings of the 360° have also been confirmed. The device will feature high definition audio and video and wireless controllers, and will come in two flavors—one with a hard drive and one without. The biggest shock is that while Microsoft wants to make their 360° backwards compatible, they haven’t yet been able to pull it off.

“They’re working on it,” said our source.

I wasn’t able to get any pictures of the 360°, but Gizmodo’s Joel was kind enough to do a mock-up of it’s face plate for us.

Stay tuned for more next-generation revelations.

Thanks for the info. I believe most of it is pure speculation. I also believe it will be called Xbox Next because Microsoft has registered that domain name. Just my opinion.

I hope it's not called "Xbox Next". That's a bad idea for a lot of reasons. I think good ol' "Xbox 2" will do fine

[necromancer]

they probably won't name it xbox two though, because it might make it sound inferior to the PS3.

[natedog8]

I like Xbox 2 cuz it just makes the most sense to me, and I know its not inferior to the PS3, or at least I'll know when they both come out....
hey carguy why do you think xbox next is a bad idea?

As the official name it doesnt sound right. At least it would leave them in an awkward position when naming the third version of the XBOX.

Sam, that dashboard pic looks like some modded Xbox dash. Like a skin for one of the popular mod dashboard sets.

Anyway, I read the article. I don't see much right off the bat to get my attention.
MS took a que from Sony and made it a vertical mount. OK, so we're a few years behind.
Basically, the article says:
"The new Xbox will look better than the last and you can stand it on it's side. It has a big power button now, and it may or may not have a hard drive, it may or may not play it's older games. But it will have wireless controllers."

Bah..
Give me the real deal.
CPU, memory, what can it do? Give me something to talk about.

Give me something to talk about.

M$ has registered a lot of names for the next xbox. They did a survey to see which one made it sound most cutting edge and people voted for 360.

Whateva... I'm waiting for May to see the sexiness!
