I like it, personally. And if you observe the disc tray, it looks fairly compact, too.

    Wow.

    That looks like crap. Think Microsoft is going for ultra-super-small or something?

    It's...not exactly 360 degrees if that's what it refers too <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo--> It looks kinda cool, but PS2 design is still a winner IMO - the game console should NOT distract your view from the screen!

    WTH? They actually gave it a retarded name like 360? Xbox Next is the only way to go... Oh yea, and it looks like a toaster designed by Mirco$oft's mortal enemy, Apple.

    GJ Microsoft you made an iToaster.

    I think the whole "360" thing is going to be played up with the lit up green power ring, which they're calling the <b>Ring of Light</b> and using in their advertising campaign. That's what I read at least...

    ^^lol
    Are the controllers all wireless? 'cuz all I see is something that looks like an IR sensor. If so, cool. I agree, it is a bit ugly. Good thing I'm not buying one. I only like consoles for multiplayer games anyway. And since pretty much all my friends will buy one sooner or later, I see no need to get one myself.

    --------------

    One quick question, why Xbox 360? Is it round or something? Can anyone confirm a reason for the name?

    **EDIT**
    See, the Gamecube's name at least correlated somewhat with the shape of the thing, so I figure if they chose something like 360, it has to have some kind of significance, and isn't 100% pure BS marketing ploy. Is there some sort of ideology associated with the name at least?

    I'm pretty sure the 360 part in the Xbox 360 is supposed to kinda go with the mom and dads.

    Say it's Christmas. The mom knows that her son / daughter really wants some kind of game console. She looks in the store and sees two things:

    1. Playstation 3
    2. Xbox 2

    The parent would probably think with their nub mind that the PS3 is better because of the number. And so Microsoft couldn't call their's the Xbox 4 or the Xbox 3 either could they? That'd be pretty lame. So they came up with the 360, which is also lame, and stuff.

    I'm going for the Nintendo Pi.

    They should call it the Xbox Next, to inspire awe with the NEXT GENERATION OF SUPREME HARDWARENESS... not... because it's, well, $200-$300.

    Either that or XXbox, so the next version could be XXXbox.
