Why make an internal HDD if the system isn't getting any smaller? The only reason to internalize the drive would be if it didn't fit on top any more.

Cheaper? Not making any money on selling HDDs?

 

[Elios83]

It doesn't seem smaller than the current Xbox 360.
Maybe they just want to rebrand/give a new look to their prouct because of Natal/Kinetic.
The banner says "Live Today" so I guess the launch is imminent, before Natal.
There will probably be a price cut too at this point.

 

[slider]

It better be. :lol

I can't believe I'm saying this (woo, go 2008!!) but I'd worry about reliability if it was built in.

 

[WrikaWrek]

maybe it's just a bad angle?

Maybe it's the best angle?

Facebook thought us about this shit.

 

[Erebus]

It looks bigger than the current 360 but this might be due to the viewing angle of that pic.

 

[Einbroch]

Those are just details; MS will come out with a brand new design, a "reboot" regardless of how it actually looks. It will be enough to look different from the previous model.

Oh I know, I wasn't disagreeing with you, I just think that this is the wrong direction to go in.

Then again, I'm only a 23 year old student and not a marketing head at a multi-national corporation.

 

[OnPoint]

Has to be real. who would go through the trouble of mocking that design up? Maybe its slim in person.

If Myspace taught me anything five years ago...

Edit- kind of beaten. wtf

 

[Caesar III]

Remember guys, maybe this thing is just built in:

This took 2 pages? The brick should be implemented and it's smaller as well (at least it looks like this)

 

[AzBat]

I actually like it. A lot on here will never be happy. Good thing MS isn't trying to sell them a new one.

 

[SimpleDesign]

Why would that be a good thing??!

If someone breaks into your house it could be used as a weapon.

 

[Mad_Ban]

I'm sure someone here knows the exact dimensions of the 360's chrome tray and can give us a guesstimation.

FOR THE GLORY OF GAF!!!

 

[Lunchbox]

what do the words mean? that vivi orgi thing

 

[gofreak]

It looks bigger than the current 360 but this might be due to the viewing angle of that pic.

The width (or height in this pic) will be true..the rest would be skewed by perspective.

 

[Sydle]

It looks photoshopped.

 

[enzo_gt]

Fuck! Shitty design, looks like a Dell as already said. But Wi-Fi built in? Hmm..

 

[JBaird]

Why would that be a good thing??!

If it doesn't overheat then it's a great thing.

 

[Diablohead]

Top half = looks good, refined 360.

Bottom half = some alienware shit that was rejected and they had too many cases made, sold to MS.

 

[V_Arnold]

I can't believe I'm saying this (woo, go 2008!!) but I'd worry about reliability if it was built in.

Wut? Reliability? When the consumption is around 105-150w already, with 65nm manufacturing ( or even less ), and after five years of RROD problems?

 

[MightyHedgehog]

Those are some serious venting slots. Not a fan of the image, but if it's real, it would help to see more angles.

 

[-viper-]

Looks awful. I hope this really is the new design - makes me feel so much better buying the fat 360!

 

[Windom Earle]

*Pats red RE5 360*

Looks like shit

 

[Suzzopher]

Looks like you will be able to change face plates again, judging by that image.

Disc tray though:lol

 

[derFeef]

what do the words mean? that vivi orgi thing

Live Today

 

[FrankT]

The width (or height in this pic) will be true..the rest would be skewed by perspective.

Pretty much. The height is on track and the only differnce really is the HDD from the original.

 

[vatstep]

Fuck! Shitty design, looks like a Dell as already said. But Wi-Fi built in? Hmm..

If it isn't drastically smaller (usually the main selling point of a hardware revision, and it doesn't look like it is), it better have everything built-in.

 

[KZObsessed]

Really ugly :/

But if they change the awful green 360 game cases to black along with it then *thumbs up*

 

[Wallach]

Decent shrink if they've built the power into the unit rather than needing the power brick.

Plus the built-in wi-fi is long overdue.

 

[infinityBCRT]

Looks like you will be able to change face plates again, judging by that image.

Disc tray though:lol

if you have kids, its more of a blessing than a curse

 

[Narcosis]

Think I'll stick with my old school 20 gig white model, this looks like a generic "xtreme" PC case mod

 

[dcpc10]

Looks really ugly

 

[DevilWillcry]

Man, until the PSTwo came out last gen was horrible for console aesthetics, other than the Dreamcast.

Hey! I happened to like the design of the "purple lunchbox".

Spoiler

Although I think I'm the only one

 

[Jme]

Probably already pointed out but the animated ad also confirms the other rumor, that natal is called KINECT.

So, LA times leaks the launch games, trade mark leaks the name of KINECT, and italian ad leaks the redesigned case (Not calling it slim lol) - whats MS going to talk about? lol

 

[alr1ght]

It could be ugly as fuck, but if that thing ran whisper quiet I wouldn't give a damn.

 

[Lunchbox]

Live Today

and protanta per futuligo la technology domino?

 

[TouchMyBox]

Must be real, internet forum-goers could never design something so horrendous. Microsoft is the only party I'm aware of who's capable of creating such a thing.

 

[enzo_gt]

It could be ugly as fuck, but if that thing ran whisper quiet I wouldn't give a damn.

^ Truth.

 

[StreetDisciple]

Looks good. Might finally pick up a 360.

 

[Upsidedown Fuji]

I don't care what the thing looks like as long as it doesn't sound like it's going to break the sound barrier and overheat anytime I turn it on. If it is the redesign we've been asking for (asthetics aside) I'll gladly sell off my launch (2 times repaired) 360 for one.

 

[Darthdevidem01]

LOL clearly not fake.

Looks great imo

 

[Why For?]

Too big to be true, but if it IS it, then Turkish was dead on about it being Black. He was pretty adamant it was black.

Fuck, he picked a bad time to be banned. :lol

 

[V_Ben]

I liked it too

Eh I'd like to have internel power source, but not at the cost of size.

 

[guise]

what you can't see from the pic is that it is shaped like a wedge

 

[S1kkZ]

How can people tell what it looks like from that shitty angled pic?

experts dude!
there is noway you can tell from that pic how that thing really looks like.

nuclear codes.

 

[vatstep]

My Jasper Elite is whisper quiet — when playing games off the HDD (only way to go in my mind), it is virtually silent.

 

[Hag]

The leaks begins <3

I have two. One them snapped the disc tray on my launch unit. Yeah they sure are great. Kids haven't done anything to the PS3 or Wii.

 

[Pandaman]

Remember how the first PS3 Slim leaked image was "obviously a bad shop?"

the ones that came with pictures of assembly on a factory floor?

yea, i do remember that.

that said, its an italian site and they're or were maybe an hour away from rollover into e3 day for microsoft when this thread showed up, so you never know.
