XBox 360 MTV Ad and Possible Images

Posted by Zonk on from the so-tired-of-speculation dept.

hollismb writes "A teaser commercial for the upcoming unveiling of the XBOX 360 on MTV had been released on the internet, and you can watch it here. In addition, an image was released on OurColony yesterday, that many feel my be a partial image of what the new console will look like. If true, this seems to go against the white console report from a couple weeks ago." There are even more possible photos available via a Voodoo Extreme post.

  1. Shameless copying by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 3, Funny
    This is a blatant example of how Microsoft copies everything from Apple and the open source community.

    As everyone knows, Apple came out with the Apple Pippin in the mid-nineties, which, like the XBOX360, was a games console running a stripped down desktop OS.

    Worse still, they're also copying IBM, who everyone knows, is one of Linux's biggest contributors. They're including IBM's processor technologies in their hardware, just like IBM did in the mid-sixties when they came out with their own, giant, garage-sized, games console. Think it's co-incidence?

    Well, get this: IBM's huge, EBCDIC-spouting, multiuser games console was called the System/360. Microsoft couldn't even hide how unoriginal they're being by at least calling their pathetic attempt something different.

    "Why?"

    Since we don't have information on the physical size of the console yet, let's just go with original Xbox's track record of girth and assume that's where the DVD goes.
