Xbox 360 Chrome?

**~bk** · April 22nd, 2005

The popular gamming news website Evil Avatar has once again gotten its hands on the latest puzzle solution to the Xbox 360 from Our Colony.net. The picture this time shows a chrome image of some part of the Xbox 360. This indicates that in fact the Xbox 360 does not have an in fact white (platinum white shell), but a chrome/metal like appearance.

Click here for the image.

The picture, which is taken from an odd angle, still brings up many questions. This could be a removable hard drive and the button on the top could be the cover for the dock in which a removable HDD would plug into. Perhaps the silver part is a handle that can be lifted out for easy carrying. There have been rumors that the Xbox 360 can stand up vertically, so this could be a picture of the console when placed vertically.

Cool!

Hmm...interesting. The chrome might add a nice touch. The picture doesn't show enough to make any judgements about the appearance though.

It's just a dev kit. They are using Mac G5's as dev kits for Xenon, and that's just a partial picture of a G5 I bet.

I don't get all the hype over something so minor

People are going crazy trying to find all the hidden stuff on the OurColony site.

That reminds me that I saw an article about "ilovebees.com" in the paper the other day.

The first MTV ad was spotted.

Get snaps of anything cool, can't see quicktime stuff from work

**NetRyder** · April 22nd, 2005

It's just a teaser. There are no shots of the Xbox itself.

**Grandmaster** · April 22nd, 2005

The MTV thing I'm looking forward to. I don't get MTV but hopefully some local station will get a contract with them or something to broadcast it here.

Yay for live commercials

P.S. This is good marketting by MS though I can't feel excited yet for some reason.

If they don't it will be all over the net in a few minutes time after it airs.

You'll be excited once you will see the Xbox 360 itself.

**~bk** · April 22nd, 2005

Just checked the Ad. Looks pretty cool. I think the logo is going to be something like the swirl type of effect, which is at the end of the Ad.

**~bk** · April 23rd, 2005

This could be it!

All right, after many a false sighting and tons of sketchy pics (the Xbox 360 was starting to give the Virgin Mary a run for her money), our sources are confirming that this is really it. My, Xbox 360, how concave you are! We also admire your simple, round nexus. Mmmmmm.

W00t!

hehehe

**Grandmaster** · April 23rd, 2005

Doesn't look that great to me =/ Hopefully another fake.

**~bk** · April 23rd, 2005

Another picture from OurColony.net. I still think it's not that bad.

edit: Don't know which one is fake. Wait for May 12.

The eject button is waaay different in both pictures posted.

**Xie** · April 23rd, 2005

I wonder how many graphic artist monkeys MS has making up fake Xbox designs. Perhaps we should look and see if they are even made on a Mac using PS first?

*sorry couldn't resist that last line*

I'm not sure I understand what you're trying to get at here. Are you trying to say it looks like an Apple rip off?

Trying to say I think MS is paying people to make Xbox pics to get "leaked".

Oh and the Apple thing was a joke about MS's new ad that was made on a Mac.

Ah, okay

Yeah, these pictures better be fake leaks...cause they aren't very good at all.

Things are either dull yet painful, over-enthusiastic but shallow, or melodramatic and far too self-pitying than I'd like it to be. I wish I could fly. Soaring must alleviate the pains of everything. I envy birds. I wish I was a bird. I miss everything.
