Live Picture of the Next Xbox

Posted by timothy on from the not-exactly-a-centerfold dept.

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?"

    There's no subscription fee.
    You get 2 games a month free.
    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.
