Xbox:Is it that big?

This pic makes it look friggin huge.


I dunno if that is a final build of the console itself.

The colors are nice though,

yes, and size doesnt matter, unless your talking about godzilla in which case it does.

I know that, it weighs 9 pounds though, which is alot for a console.

yeah but it has a hdd in it though, so naturally it will weigh more than other consoles.

You might liken the size and basic shape of an Xbox to that of your average VCR.  In fact, that\'s probably a fitting object to put one on.

And that pic is almost humorous in its difference to similar pictures of the GCN.  With its handle, gamers can palm the GCN.  Not so important as it is interesting...

Yeah, if you have one of those VCRs back from the 1980s. lol.

I don\'t think it matters though.  If people like the games, they will buy the system and worry about where to put it when they get home.

I saw it the other day at EB, and it\'s not as big as I thought it was, and cooler looking.  But it\'s still arguably gargantuan...

I\'ve seen it.

The "it\'s too big" bash is completely ridiculous. It\'s just as wide as a PS2, it\'s not as tall as a Gamecube, it\'s a good size. The only main problem is depth, which is nowhere near the same as the depth of the average DVD player or VCR.

Btw, it\'s only 9 pounds? I heard that it will be 300 punds, in the UK at least. 9 pounds is a relief, I was afraid I wouldn\'t be able to lift it.
