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?"

    Looks like a standard Micro-ATX case. Can't really tell if it's much smaller than the current Xbox either.

    My guess is they were trying to go iPod with the white, but gosh, it's hopelessly not sexy.

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

      If you are a Sasquatch. The S-Controller is much much better to the average non-yeti-sized human.

    Microsoft has gone batshit crazy with astroturfing the Xbox 360 so far. (Ourcolony?) If the leak wasn't planned by them, I'd bet they at least don't really care.

    at least it's less bulky and ugly than the first one.

    Yeah, it's original if you've never seen a dell optiplex desktop case before. Otherwise this case design is pathetic.

    First of all, it looks fine.

    Secondly, who cares what it looks like? How good are the games?

    I'm just amazed at the hate for Microsoft. The Xbox is the coolest console at the moment. It does pretty much everything right. Shouldn't we be a little excited by the Xbox 360? Isn't competition GOOD?

    I call bullshit.

    from tfa: Can't tell you how we got our hands on this image, but what you're looking at is a real live shot of the Xbox 360 that someone sneakily snapped with their cameraphone at Microsoft's Xbox360 Revealed launch party in Los Angeles last night.

    several things give it away.

    1. the image quality is too good for a camera phone
    2. they can't tell us, yet they go on to say where it was got and how.
    3. the launch party/reveal was supposed to be live on MTV.
    4. this looks really, I mean really, crap.
    5. if it wasn't a public reveal, MS would have banned cameras and cellphone cameras.

    Thank you, Zymano, reporter from the future!

    Nothing smacks more of fanboysim than crowing about which product is best even before it and its competitors have been released.
