I hope that isn't real. That's fugly.

Its sure looks fugly. It could be a prototype, but its definitely not the final design. The cord is a dead giveaway. And it doesn't seem you can press those buttons.
In other news, Gates said the Xbox 360 will have an interface similar to Windows XP Media center edition, with access to pictures, movies, tv...Let us be lazy in everything, except in loving and drinking, except in being lazy – LessingComment

Man, that prototype controller does look ugly... here is hoping for multiple colors!“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.”

It seems these photos were taken with a cellphone... It looks more and more legit. It looks better than the prototype imo. It still won't win a design contest, mind you. Notice the USB camera on the right.Attached FilesLast edited by Nostromo; May 8, 2005, 00:29.Let us be lazy in everything, except in loving and drinking, except in being lazy – LessingComment

A close-up of the gamepad. I actually prefer the new logo. Notice the connectors for the headphones on the bottom. Edit: it seems the logo is actually a button.
The wireless controller is white to compliment the new system and includes an X button in the place of the old Xbox logo. The button is said to let users access Xbox Live functions, like buddy lists and chat sessions.Attached FilesLast edited by Nostromo; May 8, 2005, 00:39.Let us be lazy in everything, except in loving and drinking, except in being lazy – LessingComment

I like the look.

If an XBOX2 costs too much people will not buy it.MS has made all of the concessions before to make inroads into the marketplace. It's looking to make money this time.
I guarantee you this. No matter how awesome it is--if MS makes too much money off each sale, it will not be sold.
Besides, even after the loss on the consoles, didn't MS make money overall off the original XBOX plus controllers, cards, games, etc.?
At least it isn't as big as the old XBOX. Flippin huge.
What are we looking at for the next Nintendo and Sony consoles? What is this ugly boy's competition going to be?
P. S. I bet you the real XBOX2 is totally different from all this that's leaked. Microsoft is too evil to have a genuine lossage of information.meet the new boss, same as the old bossComment

We know next to nothing about the Nintendo. We know a bit more about the PS3. Nvidia will design the GPU and it will have about the same horsepower as the one found in the Xbox 360, which is designed by ATI. However, the Cell, the PS3's CPU, is reportedly 3x faster than the one found in the Xbox 360. So, this time around, the PS3 will actually be more powerful than the Xbox 360.What are we looking at for the next Nintendo and Sony consoles? What is this ugly boy's competition going to be?
I doubt it. These photos were taken at the MTV party where they unvealed the Xbox 360. Yes, they already taped it.P. S. I bet you the real XBOX2 is totally different from all this that's leaked.

I agree, its doesn't look too bad. It looks better than the prototype. I like the black dvd tray and they improved the power button.I like the lookLet us be lazy in everything, except in loving and drinking, except in being lazy – LessingComment

It's much more complicated than that.Originally posted by nostromo

The Nvidia GPU will likely not be the same kind of GPU as the ATI one in the Xbox. In fact, it may be mostly a raster chip with anti-aliasing abiliites...the whole point of the Cell chip in the PS3 was insane parallel vectoring performance...exactly the same kind of performance needed for graphics.
The Cell itself is overrated. It's very useful for things like graphics processing and some types of physics processing, but not very useful for general game code. Game code is very logic-oriented...and the Cell can't do much of anything in "branching" code...it works by divying up the work into very small, independent packets and sending them out to the cells. If you're doing something where one packet immediately depends on the next (very common in game programming), you can't do this in parallel.
The MS (and presumably Nintendo) CPUs are much more balanced.
The "3x powerful" thing comes from theoretical numbers that will never be achieved. Look at it this way: the PS2 is ~4x powerful than the Xbox using the same method of measurement.

I see. But I'm certain Sony will use that line. "The PS3 will be 3 X more powerful than the Xbox 360. So why settle for less? Wait for the PS3!"Let us be lazy in everything, except in loving and drinking, except in being lazy – LessingComment
