So what are your thoughts on the design. Judging by the controller it looks like they have copied all game controllers known to man :D

Dual Sticks - Sony Type
Buttons - Nintendo 64 Type
DPad - From what it looks like in the pic a Sega Saturn Ripoff.
Handles - N64 Type.

Quite impressive at the least. Not bad design, looks like a set top box. But with sony kicking arse as we speak, lets see how good it does this fall in america.

Ill be importing no doubt. Unless i move to america if all goes to plan then I can line up 4 it. If required.


Oh, and go back to 1999 when sony released the first pic of the ps2 and people saying how shocking it was visually(casing and all). How does xbox compared ?

You do know that there is already a thread in the main forum about this right?

As for the design I think it kicks. The controller look amazing IMO. That is the only controller that I have ever looked at and said "WOW that looks really cool". To me it looks like a sleek GCN controller. I don\'t see any resemblance to a Sega Saturn other than the color. It looks really good in my opinion.

The controller doesn\'t look THAT good but it must be good to hand ( if it\'s even standard Microsoft quality ).

The machine then... well, that isn\'t very clear picture so I can\'t tell 100 prosently but let me just say that I wasn\'t surprised. Something I expected.

No more no less.

OK, Maybe amazing is too strong of a word. The controller looks really good and I can\'t wait to test it out. Now that I have looked at it again it does look a lot like the DC controller. But thats cool \'cause the DC controller isn\'t THAT bad.

Sorry guys i have to disagree with y\'all. I think the microsoft design is ****e that controller looks like it hurts to use. Couldn\'t ms come up with a more original looks rather than sticking all the consoles together using a pc and seeign what it looked like?
I am very disappointed to be honest and there is no way i am gonna be forking out money on something with looks like a toaster tipped on its side.

You can\'t see alot of the console on the pic.The controller looks like the bastard child of a dc and a psx controller and a little n64 in there and having the analog stick above the D-pad is a NGC ripoff.And the green bubble thingie in the middle is absolutly horrable.But it might be OK.
But I won\'t pass judgment based on one blurry pic.I\'ll just wait till we get better pics to pass jugdement.:)

The X-Box has a VMU type peripheral. I don\'t know if it goes in that slot but word is that it is a killer app...
