Live Picture of the Next Xbox

n0ethics writes "A live picture of the Xbox 360 was leaked from Microsoft's Xbox 360 launch party held last night. The culprit appears to be a privately-owned cameraphone. Engadget Reports... Also included in the leak was the new Xbox Live headset, a new Xbox 360 controller and the new Eye-toy-ish Xbox 360 peripheral. Now the question is: was this intentional, or should we fear Bill?"

    Not enough emphasis on the ugly. It should be a bit more like this:

    "I have seen the new X-Box, and it is ugly. And I mean UGLY. Take it out back and put it out of it's misery ugly. Hit with not only an ugly stick, but an ugly pole and an ugly mace. It's like they tried to steal Apple's iPod white with none of Apple's design taste. Again, it's ugly. "

    I hate you jackasses, I bet you were the same people that complained about the original xbox controller. That thing was the most comfertable controller

    What, the controller police came and took yours away because people complained about it? The last I heard, they were still making both styles, but I don't really follow Xbox news that closely, since I use the better console.

    I thought the typical X-Box user didn't care about performance either, just getting their new copy of last year's Madden game with this years roster.

    There's no subscription fee.

    The console itself is undersold.

    But the wireless controllers run on proprietary Microsoft batteries which run out of power after 10h of use and you can obtain a new set for $30 from your local Microsoft Golden Partner dealer.

    Microsoft make very atractive looking mice (which makes me wonder why they didn't get the people behind those desings to work on the xbox s60, if they did then im at a loss).

    Breeding mice is a lot easier than breeding gaming consoles.
