check out the Xbox 360
Horrible name.
Horrible look. side view. memory card ? 360 logo - looks like it was made by a 5 year old. what do you guys think ? i think it looks like crap. but im probably gonna end up getting one, hopefully its backward compatible.

I think it looks really sleak. Glad that I have a pre-order down on it already.

It looks okay to me. Bit too much like a PC, but honestly I don't think anyone will ever be completely happy with it because everybody likes to have a dig at microsoft.

I think It will be the best console machine of the next Gen, and for the design I’m waiting for a official looking on mtv and E3.

Errr..... It looks okay I guess... If that's the real design then I prefer the 1st Xbox. That 360 logo looks sorta like Dreamcast logo. (I wonder if they have anything to do with it.)

looks ok. How the console looks isn't a big factor to anyone who is really interested in games. Hell knows that if the last gen consoles had been judged on looks alone, M$ would have bombed out long ago. I personally doubt that there is going to be much of a graphical difference in games in the next gen either. They're all releasing at a similar time... always the possibility that Sony's hype infested graphics capabilities (lol @ "the emotion engine") are less than they're letting on... I mean, we know what X-Box 360 games will look like ("Gears of War"), but Sony have been keeping very quiet.
Not like i'll have the money to own a console once I'm at Uni anyway... their Firewall better not block the Half-Life / Steam ports, otherwise I'm going to be very bored :/

Screens from new ghost recon...
https://img125.echo.cx/img125/7931/15zu.jpg https://img125.echo.cx/img125/4151/22qh.jpg https://img7.echo.cx/img7/3449/39nv.jpg https://img7.echo.cx/img7/1749/42qj.jpg DOA4 As for the console itself, I dont think it really is just crap. I kinda like it. The concept screens looked like crap, but once you actually see it it looks kinda good. I think it looks better than the lego block PS2 anyway.

my thoughts: omigosh the Xbox 360! (I feel the urge to stare at it some more) the host: NOW WE GO TO THE KILLERS CUZ THEY RAWK LOL! my thoughts:........you bitch. . It was an okay show but it hardly gave any info that was new, most of it was stuff known already. Perfect Dark Zero was cool but you got to hardly see any of it, just a bunch of people cussing at each other. Since it's so awesome to watch people say "you bitch" or "I got you" then look at the actual game myself. So overall I would say watching people playing a game and making lame taunts is better then seeing actual game footage, awesome. So basically I felt unfulfilled by what was shown, I wanted to see more games. Of the games you did see were barely 15 second trailers and the only game that was playable (perfect dark zero) you didn’t get to see much of. Like I said the camera was always on the celebrities and such playing the game instead of looking at the actual game play. Oh you also cant forget the pimp the Xbox special god knows that’s what we all wanted to see .
