Microsofts E3-inbjudan damp ner i brevlådan
Av Bengt Lemne Skapad 2005-04-15
Det är inte varje dag vi får en skum spegel med 70-talsmönster i brevlådan så det tyckte vi var värt att skriva om på siten. Det märkliga brevet var i själva verket en inbjudan till Microsofts E3-presskonferens med efterföljande fest. Vad betyder de hypnotiska ringarna? Vi kommer rapportera direkt från Shrine Auditorium i Los Angeles den 16:e maj om vad Microsoft har att säga. Då har visserligen redan deras nya konsol presenterats på MTV, men vi räknar med att ännu fler detaljer presenteras på presskonferensen.
Check this out. More proof?
Click here and see the ring flash! (http://microsoft.crgevents.com/E32005Briefing/intro.html)
"An exclusive Kotaku source has revealed a bevy of facts about the next-generation console set to rock the Xbox world."
"The Xbox 360° will be about winning over gamers of all persuasions, with a customizable look and a kindler, gentler Circle of Light marketing campaign."
"The side of the 360° is dominated by an oversized, back-lit power button called the ring of light,"

Looks a lot like a ......green DC swirl.

I agree.
I wanna see some screenies of next gen games. Show me the next-gen Madden so I can instantly forget the scorn I have for EA.
-
It\'s a giant green DC swirl. You can\'t deny it.
Curious about the controller. Ah hell , it has to be better than the original Xbox controller (tho\' I love the S controller).
-
It does not look like the DC swirl. It\'s not even a swirl, it\'s a number of rings. Watch the clip pstwo supplied.
-
It reminds of the DC logo nevertheless
-
reminds me of tye dye

Reminded me of it as well, that is until I saw it moving. Then it looks nothing like the DC swirl, not even a little bit.
-
It looks like whoever sent out the invitation has a couple of children who went a little crayon happy.
-
that better not be in the center of the xbox 2\'s controller
:rpissed:
-
Reminds me of english class when I use to draw circles swirling into a center. That\'s honestly all I can say when I saw this monstrosity of a logo.

I don\'t think it\'s meant to be seen moving(IE non hypnotic logos on consoles).

If it\'s part of the marketing campaign, as the article suggests, then it will be seen moving at some point or another. The promotion seems to be "Amplify", thus all the rings scaling.
"The side of the 360° is dominated by an oversized, back-lit power button called the ring of light,"
Notice: "the ring of light". Sounds singular to me.
Now, if you are to watch the animation of the rings then you\'ll see it eventually goes down to one ring, which makes sense with the "360" and all.
May 12th isn\'t too far away. I\'m going to reserve judgement on it until then...
-
Sometimes I wonder what\'the point of it all. It\'s just a computer that plays games.
Why do we need to make threads and speculate on the (possible) new symbol?
Perhaps I\'m just getting old and bitter but meh.
-
The ring looks LIKE AN ANUS! THEEREEE I SAID IT!!1!1 ANUS!
How about just showing us some solid hardware already...

Well, if your a-hole looks as big and ribbled like THAT,...you have some serious problems dude :laughing:
Anyway, it firstly reminded me of those electric cooking plates, secondly the twirl of the Green Hornet.
-
Well it does look like an oversized ribbled anus :D
-
that has nothing ot do witht he X Box, it\'s just a pretty design on the card.
-
A green anus isnt pretty :p

Another Xbox 360 pic!! Sexy!! 36 24 36 @_@

shop\'d
and why the hell is it so big?
-
Definitely photoshopped, but I wouldn\'t be opposed to the Xbox 360 looking like that given some refinement.
It doesn\'t look that big actually, not when you take into account the disc tray size. I\'d say that\'s smaller than the PS2 in length.
I\'m going to say that\'s the best mock up I\'ve seen so far, what with the rumors I\'ve read. (concave shape, can stand up-right, white/grey, between the size of the PS2 and PSTwo)
My favorite mock up so far is this one:
(https://psx5central.com/community/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg255.echo.cx%2Fimg255%2F1108%2Fxbox3602ag.jpg&hash=8788599c73309731ea84bfaf728dfdcf55d9c873)
The only thing I don\'t like is that it looks about the same size as the current Xbox, and we just can\'t have that. I don\'t have room for another console that size.:D
-
That first pic is actually real. A friend of mine that works in production for MTV(in LA not NY) confirmed it.
He hasn\'t seen the actual console itself but that is pretty much exactly what the diagram they have looks like.
-
Echoing Black Sam it may just be real. The logo is the same one that\'s in the MTV teaser commerical.

No no, you don\'t understand how teh Intarweb works. If something is shown in teh Intarweb, it cannot possibly be real. That\'s the rule.
-
if that 1st pic is real then it\'s not that bad lookin\'...it actually looks like a harddrive...a pretty harddrive...:)
-
I believe it\'s a real concept pic just like the concept pic of PSP ; not 100% exactly the same as the final thing but 99% close to it.
It does look pretty. Hm, makes me even more anxious about PS3 and Revolution designs.
-
The only thing I don\'t like about it is the big power button, it\'s almost obnoxious.
That second pic you posted, pstwo...what\'s that thing on the side? The harddrive?
-
Nevermind...brightened it up a bit. 40GB, that\'s nice.:)
-
wow, that box is HUGE!
-
eh, look at the disctray MM.
I think Xbox360 is smaller than Xbox.
-
i am looking at it, and it\'s frickin huge

I dont see how you like that one so much. THe colors are ok but the design is too similar to the old xbox and standing it up straight just seems silly. If Microsoft wasnt planning on wireless controls then it would probably fall over a lot.
The other design doesnt look that bad and its decently small from the looks of it. It has definately gotten me a little more excited about this next gen.
I wonder what the competition is going to look like.
-
obviously altered comparison chart

Compare the disc drives, mm, they\'re the same size.

I like the colors, and the sharp lines.

That big green button is hideous.
-
Hmph.
Green button is ugly.
Looks a lot like that phantom console a few years back.
-
I like the green button. :)

If I ever get one of these things, I\'ll keep a rag handy so I can cover it up. That thing is just way too gay. And everyone knows how gay I am. So it must be extra gay, because even I think it\'s gay. It looks like something that\'d sooner be called an iGay than an Xbox. GAY GAY GAY GAY!
-
mm...you\'re a crack ass. They\'re actually trying to appeal to the Japanese consumers this time, and they said it would be between the size of the PS2 Slim and the normal PS2. Just because it carries the Xbox brand name, doesn\'t mean it\'s still f^cking going to be huge. They\'ve learned from their mistakes.
-
that better be a notebook card drive on the edge of it than, right?
(if the pic is real, before you go there)
"learned from thier mistakes"
:laughing:
-
After looking at it more, it reminds me of a ReplayTV DVR, not sure why.
-
It looks MUCH better than the PS2. I actually like the design of the console and think the green "ring of light" power button is sharp.
-
"learned from thier mistakes"
Well...at least I hope they did.

Xbox 360 64 Mem card?

Official Logo? :cool:
Link (http://www.xbox365.com/news.cgi?id=GGGrPNdLNL04240755)
An annonoumous source has sent us what appears to be the official logo for XBOX 360. Whilst we can\'t 100% confirm it\'s true, we can confirm the logo is identical to the image that appeared on the official invites for the unveiling of XBOX 360 in May. Interesting to note the logo is now all caps - XBOX rather than Xbox...
