XBox 360 MTV Ad and Possible Images

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.

Madden

I'd rather see the Madden commercial than the XBox360 commercial. If it shows what it can really do that would be impressive. The console could look like a turd for all I care (hell it may keep it from getting stolen).

This is what is wrong with the whole gaming/computing industry as a whole. Specifications are always put out before anything else, thus further perpetuating the "Megahertz Myth".

We've all seen the XBox2/360 specs. Sure, dual Power 970 processors is nice, but dual processors mean nothing if nothing decent is being done with them. I would rather see gameplay videos, screenshots, etc showing the console in action before I see specs. Much the same as I would rather test-drive a car before I look under the hood.

removable hard drive?

That image doesn't look like a hard drive carrier, it looks like a pull-out handle.

Have to disagree with you there , the DS is wonderfully designed if you realse its a homage to the nintendo Classics .
Good design dosn't always means artistic design , I love the DSs design as its simple , easy to use and reminds me of the good old days .
I also love the PSP design as it looks like a data pad from star trek.
Finaly i love my Mac as it reminds me of some form of retro space helmet(eMac) and an homage to the classic imacs and the origional mac.
Good design dosn't end when you gloss things in Metalic paint , if you have a good reason for doing it.

In the future, all information will be s l o w l y

released.

I can't believe how well this is working for Microsoft. They (or whomever they chose as their PR company for Xbox2) are genius. Nintendo's strategy has always been to say absolutely nothing about anything, and then just show it. Sony has been a little more forthcoming, but it's in a more matter-of-fact PR release.

But Microsoft has been using ourcolony to v-e-r-y s-l-o-w-l-y release information, literrally droplets of information. Instead of getting one big bang where they unveil the console on May whatever, they're getting 20 big bangs, one almost every day up to that date, where all the game news sites are reporting (no exaggeration), "We think we might have seen the Xbox360 power button!"

Need proof? Go look at the number of headlines in games.slashdot that discuss the Xbox. And isn't it interesting how many of these end in a question mark? Really and truly, we don't know a damn confirmed thing about the new xbox, and yet Microsoft is getting at least one Xbox "major" news item circulated on the gaming sites every day.

I'm not complaining. I'm as excited about the Xbox2 as anyone else. But I think what's more newsworthy is that Nintendo is still stuck in the Nintendo Power days of releasing information, Sony somewhere in the middle, and Microsoft is really using the 86400second internet news cycle to their advantage.

Milk away Microsoft, milk away.
