To each his own, I guess. And remember guys, nothing has been confirmed yet. Moreover, I don't know if you have noticed this, but the eject arrow doesn't point in the same direction in every shot. So we'll have to wait the 16th to confirm all this.Let us be lazy in everything, except in loving and drinking, except in being lazy – Lessing

Now if it were black, it might be ok... of course that means the controllers have to be black as well.“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

Xbox 360 to be backwards compatible
It's a-Live

A QUESTIONNAIRE being taken online by Xbox Live users appears to give the final confirmation that Xbox 360 will be backwards compatible - at least, if you buy it with the optional hard drive.
The questionnaire deals with Xbox Live and says subscribers through the original Xbox will be able to play against gamers on Xbox 2 -- as long as they are playing a current generation Xbox game.
"Xbox Live is an online gaming service that works across both the current Xbox system and the future Xbox 2. You will be able to play online and compete against others across both consoles. If you are playing an Xbox game on Live you will be able to compete against people playing that same game on Xbox 2".
So XBox games will run on "XBox 2".
The hard drive comes in because the original Xbox had one and the games are written to use one.
INQUIRER reader, Epobirs suggests that the hard drive could be used to house an optimisation library of Xbox 360 native binaries to run the first-generation games, thus increasing performance.
This sounds like a pretty good idea to us, and one that has had some use previously, with FX!32 on the DEC Alpha, utilising translations of code it produced previously to optimise the next time an application ran.
It is unlikely that Xbox games running on the Xbox 360 will look any better, although it's possible that they could be anti-aliased using spare graphics power."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."
Ben Kenobi: "That means I'm doing something right. "

It's possible, but highly unlikely. They would need to have a LED (i.e., a substitute for a light bulb) that would be much more powerful than that currently available.I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891

An alleged prototype (as it has a cord, no Xbox logo, etc). This is a horrendous mistake in design if it's the real deal. Not only will white show dirt more than a black controller, but this just looks like something Nintendo would have come out with 4 years ago.

And for kicks, what is believed to be a shot of....THE OPENING SEQUENCE OMGFG!!
