I was hoping that MS would have done something along the lines of the second unofficial mockup that was floating around the net: slim, stylish and shiney - cant go wrong with that :) In its current form it doesnt look that bad, a bit bulky but it would probably sit well in a seperate stack, I suppose its a little hard to judge looking at photos, heh, I still look at the PS2 and think it looks tiny.

As for the controller I dont think size will be that much of a issue, typically Ive found controllers to be a tad too small, my only gripe with its current design is the fact that what look to be the two analogue sticks arent in line with one another, apart from that, looks ok - it should have the reasonably solid build quality that most MS controllers have.

Chrono/XProfessor: cant we just get along? :/

Microsoft pays for the servers... they were cheap on the server
and if it was hacked its cause of their software... think about that
But the website is not by MS, so its
NAJIMI,SOLYMAN fault in the matter
who lives in New York
I was wrong on the fact of the site and who its owned by, but the fact that its not an offical site, makes it UNOFFICAL

The controller looks like it has been ripped off of the Gamecube controller, with just a
different design. The system looks a little weird but not that bad. The controller just looks
like sh*t and that big x in the middle just looks stupid.

the console itself looks good
the controller on the other hand is a complete ripoff and shows no innovation at all, which is what worries me about MS.. of course it will probably be their downfall...

The system looks alright but it is nothing revolutionaty
The PS2 at least had a revolutionary design - the fact that it could be put vertically was very different. The XBOX seems pretty bulky but i like how it forms the logo from above.

The controller is on the other hand a total rip off of a Dreamcast controler except add another playstation like analog so there can be two of them.Plus i have small hands and don\'t like the DC controller for that reason there.

Why can\'t they make a controller suitable for fighting games.  The DC was fortunate that serveral new games only use four buttons..but I hated playing Marvel VS Capcom on a DC pad.  Oh well...guess companys want you to buy a stick or something..le sigh :(

That looks pretty kick ass to me. I will definately have to get EGM(?) this month. As for the controller, It looks like it gets the job done. I can\'t complain it looks like a sleek version of the GCN controller with a slot for a VMU type device.

The console does look cool.
But it also looks like the 3D0. I like the 3D0 design. I guess, I\'m just amazed its so close to the 3D0 design.

The controller isn\'t bad. I love the DC pad. I wish it didn\'t so closely mimic the DC pad though. And what is with the giant green blob that says XBOX? That looks stupid.

Ah, its just a console. Its the games that matters.

The thing looks quite good.

But the pad seems large ( it\'s close to the camera; perspective problem I quess ); and the "hats" are on strange places... Wonder if Working.

But Microsoft has always designed good joysticks and pads to PC so I rely on them on that subject.

Now we\'ve seen the thing we want to see the games, right?

Right.  The Xbox is not a dvd player.  ;)  You have to buy the remote which comes with the software.  The resoning is most likely somewhere between pushing hollywood\'s DVD charges off the Xbox console and appeasing Developers.

I personally think the X-box looks ugly. But that is just my opinion. And again, if the games kickass on it, it doesn\'t matter what the system looks like. I will buy it regardless.

Oh, and its also "black" :rolleyes:. No, it won\'t succeed now (making fun of all the people who critize the PS2 on its "color", even some X-Box fans).

Of course they had to copy Sony for that. No way, the big crome-X would be much better don\'t you think? :)

I quess N64 or even Sega Master System started this "Black generation" in consoles. Hey no offence anyone. The color suits my living-room that\'s for sure.

But I wasn\'t surprised. Microsoft has always copied. Bill Gates wouldn\'t be rich at all without buying dos from unknown programmer nor if apple wouldn\'t exist.

copycats.

There always is and always will be lots of cool things to own. Greedy humans are. Buy everything they can\'t. Agree?

For the X-box; I gotta say that I can\'t save money for it. Really. There\'s so many ps2 games that are must buy that all my money goes there. Sad but true. If I could choose one next gen console, I think it would be X-box.

Not sure though, but why wonder. I won\'t have money, I know it and I say it straight :)

I\'m not crazy about the Xbox\'s design. It looks alright, but nowhere near as stylish as the PS2 & Dreamcast. At least it\'s not as hideous as the Gamecube... and they left that cool neon X symbol in the middle, so that\'s a plus.

Now the controller, that looks badass. A bit more complex than the Dualshock, but a lot smaller and more comfortable than the DC\'s pads. Plus the D-pad is kinda bowl shaped and looks like it\'s padded. I\'ve always prefered that style of D-pad over the Dualshocks (which tends to give me a sore thumb after playing for a few hours). I\'d like to see what 3rd parties can do to the basic design.

All in all, it looks like the PS2, DC, and N64 had a Manag\'e Toi.. and the Xbox is the result. ;)

I think it looks great (it sure couldn\'t look worse than the GC :)).

Hopefully the approaching offical unvailing at CES will reveal actual game footage/demos which demonstrate the console\'s power (I\'m looking forward to it).

Yes; we want to see da games.

The Pad is cool but odd.

Reminds me of myself :)

Now there\'s no big problem with the looks. No. Mature look. But is it immature to judge a console by its looks? I hope I didn\'t do that to GC...

Falcon4, you can\'t post pictures from your harddrive. You have to upload them to a webserver - then you can show us them.

Falcon4, that\'s not the real Xbox. :)

Here\'s the real deal:

I also don\'t like the controller, but as long it play\'s good I don\'t care if it looks pretty. I thing I will have to wait at least a year to find out, I hope my PS2 and my DC help me while waiting.;)

im sorry but i refuse to believe that this is microsofts console. it looks like a sack of ****e. how difficult are those pads gonna be to use? does that ball thing in the middle do anything?
It seems to me that microsoft tried to copy sony on there "retro" look but i cant see how they got from the design of the ps2 to the xbox.

The controller looks like a combination of all the best controller designs. This thing looks really cool and a lot more comfortable than the PS2 Dual Shock.

BTW, You guys are funny. If it doesn\'t look like a DualShock you guys say that it looks impossible to use and if it looks like Sony\'s pad you say "Where is the innovation?" You guys just can not be pleased. This is the best looking controller that I have seen in these Next-Generation console wars. More Power to Microsoft.

Here\'s my top list on the most ugly console this gen. (1 ugly, 4 best looking)

1. Xbox or DC
2. DC or Xbox
3. GC  (2nd best looking)
4. PS2 (best looking)

I said it before and I\'ll say it again.. The portbox is a PC!!!! Not a console!!!!

I\'m sure Microsoft has used LOTS of resources on the damn thing, so I don\'t doubt the controller is great - I mean, they must have researched it a lot before deciding how it should look.

it looks like they had a n64 controler and a dream cast controler screw and out popped the x box controler. but i still dont think it looks too bad.

Personally, I think the Xbox (along with the controller) looks kick ass. The choice of the colors (that mean-looking green along with the black) and the X on top just kick my ass!!! I think it looks great!!! And NO, it does NOT look like a 3DO- I\'ve owned one too and they\'re seperate animals.

I don\'t quite agree with you.... Gamecube is HIDEOUS!!!
it\'d have to be more like this(1 being the best looking this time)

1.PS2(Definitely the Best looking. Sleek and black)
2.Xbox(They have to copy everything, but they at least did a good job of it on this one)
3.Dreamcast(It\'s o.k. but it doesn\'t look as good as the first two)
4.Gamecube(Too tall, too boxy, well....It\'s kinda kiddy and definitely weird)

I didn\'t get it earlier becuz I was too addicted and too busy playing Chrono Cross over and over and over again:D:D
I dunno I just really liked that game.

Hey big guy, The caps are not necessary. People have been banned for less. :D

Best Looking [1=Best--4=Worst]:

1. Silver GCN (The Silver GameCube Looks Sweet)
1. X-Box (It is sleek and just plain old cool)
1. PS2 (It just has an excellent design to it)
4. DC (It is way too pasty for my tastes. It sticks out like Bill Gates at the Million Man March)

I don\'t really like the way Xbox looks. It looks like a damn imitation. Now I am more sure that PS2 will win the console war, or, it will be to close to call. IT WILL BE CLOSE

We now have people declaring the race by how the system looks. Animal....your a retard. It\'s all about the games. Besides, XB looks dope as ****. What\'s it an imitation of? It is t-o-t-a-l-l-y different from both PS2 and 3D0.

Post by: @iReS on January 03, 2001, 02:01:44 PM
well I agree with Ethugg, it\'s all about the games, BUT, it does feel good when the sytem you support looks sweet along with having good games. now just to plz the croud I\'m gonna post my fav\'s looking system to my most hated looking system.

from best (1) to worst

1. PS2 (very inovative, and there is nothing like it anywhere, plus the vert option is amazingly original)

2. DC (Black Sports Version) -nice and sleek, but a little too boxy.

3. GC (by far uglier then the X-Box, but at least it is inovative, so I think it deserves a better score then X-Box just for the new console apearence.

4. X-Box (too dull and un-original) - the looks are not all that bad but we\'ve seen it a hundred times and queit frankly I\'m bored to **** with that look.


Title: Looks like my DVD system shaped in an X.
Post by: Simchoy on January 03, 2001, 03:34:27 PM
The controller looks like a cross between the DC and GC controller. Note the position of the sticks. Now, if this thing kickass in the game department, I will get this system. But the design IMO, ugly.

The two look nothing alike man. Except they are both black. In which case, Sony ripped Sega off, because the Genesis/Saturn was black.
 
Basically.
They look nothing alike.

i don\'t think the Xbox imitates the other consoles so much but has an uncanny humidifier like appearance with those vents. controller looks very pc-ish,which should be fine with all those expected games from the majorily pc developers...

I think XBox looks just fine, I see no problems with it. The controller does not look PC\'ish, it has a DC/Dualshock look to it

An Xbox thread in a Ps2 forum gets 1,300+ views and 94 replies! If this kind of interest keeps on going then there\'s no doubt that the Xbox will be very succesful indeed.

BTW after looking at the Xbox pics again i still think it looks hideous!

i don\'t see where it looks like a Dualshock though but maybe DC-ish a bit,sort of...

"1. PS2 (very inovative, and there is nothing like it anywhere, plus the vert option is amazingly original)"

very inovative, yep.  looks like a vcr with ps2 logo.  I\'m pretty sure i can find that kind of design anywhere.  The vertical option is a rip off of the old pc-console system known as pc engine(i think), the system was all white

Although It\'s the games that count, I really dislike the XBox console design.  

The PS2 still reigns supreme as having the best console design IMO.  It\'s followed by either the DC or the Silver NGC, with the big black box pulling up the rear.

you missed my point though,the pc pads try to copy console pads but fail miserably most of the time,feel and play ackward with odd designs. the Xbox controller "looks" like that type of controller to me,yet i won\'t place final judgement until i use it. that\'s all i\'m saying,nothing more or less...

If it looks like anything, its a tricked out DC controller.
