Xbox 2 Concept Designs Leaked?

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the just-so-long-as-it-runs-xbmc dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Two new images of what are reported to be Xbox 2 concept designs and logos , have recently been found on the internet. The designs are said to have been released by an anonymous tipster who claims to be part of a focus group for the Xbox 2. The anonymous member reports that he has more concept designs ready to release in the near future." Doesn't look to me like there's much credibility here, but they still look pretty.

  1. Xbox2 Mod? by Stefan+Fredriksson · · Score: 5, Interesting

    One of the most important things that has made XBOX a somewhat sucess is the ability to mod it.

    Now, if you are a student for example now you need only one machine and you get a DVD player, a computer and a game-console in one box. All for a few hundred american money (inkl. harddrive and modchip)

    If they want to continue to grow they must make the XBOX2 "moddable".

      Actually, that made it a spectacular failure.

      Sure, there are a lot of XBox's floating around now, but don't kid yourself - Microsoft didn't make a dime on any of them. Console makers can offer such powerful systems for so cheap (both being relative, of course) because they traditionally take a loss on the system and make up for it in game sales and licenses. And owners of modded XBox's tend not to buy games.

  2. If this is true... by jmcmunn · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Then it certainly looks much smaller than the current rendition of the Xbox. And from the sixe in the pics, it looks like it probably does not have a hard drive in it. Unless of course they went with a laptop drive, or something smaller then the standard desktop drive.

    I must say, I don't like the silver too much. I like the black of the current game systems, they blend into the rest of the entertainment center as is.

    it will be interesting a couple years from now (or next year?) when the next generation systems start coming out if this is what it really looks like. I don't believe for a second that this would leak out on accident, I would bet if these are real pics they were let out on purpose to see what reaction they get before they start making them for release.

    yet another opportunity for me to point out that i think slashdot should mirror a site for 5 or 6 hours at least immediately as they post the link. or maybe just the images. cachedot.org

    This is fake.

    The XBox2 has a new connector for controller. This photo features traditional XBox controller connectors.
