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. Xbox wins! by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I find it absolutely amazing how Microsoft has the gaming world captivated with titbits about the Xbox 2 - whereas nobody cares about the Playstation 3 or Nintendo Revolution.

    I wonder how much this has to do with Sony's PSP - they're still advertising it and probably don't want the PS3 to tread on it's coattails. It would be ironic if the success of the PSP is what kills the PS3 - just like the Gameboy became Nintendo's focus and contributed to the downfall of the Nintendo 64 and Gamecube (because Nintendo's best console was the Gameboy, anything else they made was 2nd best).

    A company can only have one flagship product in a market space - and the PSP is definitely it for Sony.

  2. Mock up by dfj225 · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I could easily see this being a mock up unit made specifically for E3 and not necessarily close to what will be on shelves when the unit is released. Any one remember the giant metal X that was shown when MS first started talking about the original Xbox? Also, one glaring omission from these pics are extra controller ports on the front of the machine.

  3. the power button by bbkingadrock · · Score: 3, Interesting

    does anyone think that huge power button looks even remotely real? look at the edges of it where it would sit in the unit, there does not appear to be any bevel or seam of any sort.... looks to me like it was simply enhanced with Adobe Photoshop(R) photo editing software

  4. Revelation vs. Revolution? by blueskatz · · Score: 1, Interesting

    I downloaded this movie several days ago (and I don't remember from where). It was identical to this one, except that instead of "revelation", the narrator said "revolution".

    It struck me as a bit of a jab at Nintendo. I think its interesting that Microsoft would have changed it.

    I've got to say I'm pretty excited about the design unveiling for all the new consoles. To tell you the truth though, I'm a little more excited about the PS3 and Revolution. The way I see it, Sony and Nintendo already have my purchase in the bag. As with the current generation, Microsoft will have a bit of convincing to do.
