This is most likely the Xbox 360... Looks pretty good IMO and much smaller than the current Xbox (compare the total size to the size of a disk tray)

It can be used on it's side or flat like the PS2... Also notice there are no controller ports which means it will be wireless. The hard drive attachment is on the side

 

Here is a picture of the removable hard drive on the left side of the picture above

 

Here's another interesting pic to show the size relationship compared with the PS2. While it definitely is nowhere near the size of the new PS2, it is close to the original PS2 which I think is great (definitely an improvement over the current Xbox brick)

 

Great pics thanks cusdaddy ....cant wait for Xbox2 to come out...i wonder how much it will be priced?

 

when does it come out? do you think it will be backwards compatible w/ all the older xbox games?!

 

It should be out sometime in the fall this year... I'd guess November like the original Xbox launch.

In regards to backwards compatibility, no one really knows. I guess we'll find out at E3 in a few weeks

 

nice

 

nice pics - but damn, I will no longer be able to make fun of it because it looks like a suitcase......

it is looking good.

 

hmmm wireless good. but that means CHARIGING!! and what if we play for like 5 hours str8. which we have on halo!!!! hmmmm gona have to see what life span the batteries have!!! or hopefully they would be like ROLOXE's.. that they charging while moving!! lol

 

Hehe...I love knowing stuff the masses don't. Especially about wireless controllers, chargers, and *cough* interface cables...

 

wireless controllers = teh suck for competitive gaming.

srika
preparing to eat my words later :-d

 

Who plays halo 2 for more than 5 hrs haha







jk, gunny

 

Why is the hard drive removable?

If it's only wireless, what is the hole next to the memory slot?

 

It's an IR sensor.

The hard drive is removable because it is most likely a separately purchased accessory. (Thus you see "MEMORY SLOT A") = standard.

 

Don't forget that there is most likely an external power brick for this one as well.

 

do you work for a hardware manufacturer/contractor for microsoft?

 

looks nice, cant w8

 

oman the ps2 slim look sexy compare to the other 2 imo

 

No. I do not work for Microsoft or any of its subcontractors.

Any inside knowledge I have is bound by NDA and cannot be revealed until public knowledge.

Any posts or information here is speculation, opinion, or repeats of other public website postings.

- The option of HDD or not has LONG been speculated about. The last rumors I heard were that the XBox was going to go Flash only.
- Wireless...well...is wireless. The IR port LOOKs like an IR port.
- Most companies are moving to external power bricks. Look at HP printers.

Here a fact that I CAN reveal: I've never seen the thing.

 

hehe good job covering your ass

 

sounds stupid to me...i mean, you have to plug in the tv right? so why not just plug in the console too?

 

Using an external brick does 2 things.
First it allows you to make a smaller box of a computer/game system.
Second, you lose the requirement of at least the power supply fan.

 

And third, everybody and their Chinese brother makes cheap 120V-12V power bricks these days. Thus it's cheap. But I could be wrong.

For a TV, it draws too much power to be external...unless you're talking about LCDs.

 

I try. Microsoft is a bit on the litigous side.

But, more or less what I said above is true. All that's posted is rumors, even from me. I just find it interesting seeing something I've "worked" on be so public. Most of my experience has been in industry where no one ever sees the things except the OEM.

I can see why they want to be careful.

I gotta get my pre-orders placed after the big announcement anyway so I can sell those puppies on eBay for a 10-20% profit like I did with the original XBox.

 

if you get them cheaper. how bout you get a group buy for us folks here at AZ.. save us money!!!

 

I don't get them cheaper. I buy up existing stock and when the demand outstrips supply, I sell on eBay to the desperate parents that want the latest and greatest for their kid's X-mas. Then I charge them extra for "expedited shipping".

It's evil, but it works. Last time I bought 10. Sold 9, and had enough left over, that essentially #10 was free. I kept it.

 

Hey, i was playing LIVE last night with AZ crew.. and someone mentioned that they were having a debut of the 360 in some MTV award show.. or some award show or something.. anyone know about this?

 

price?

 

i heard Halo 3 or 2.5 or whatever was supposed to be an opening game for the system
