i honestly dont know what to think

wow could very well be it.. but i think its hoaxish

what has gamespot thinking its real is told in the latest rumor control

As the week began, a photo began to circulate around the Web which purported to be of the next-generation Xbox. Looking like a game-geek version of the famed Loch Ness Monster photo, the blurry image showed a slim silver-gray console on its side, PlayStation 2-style with a GameCube-like curved handle. It also had a distinct "X" logo on the side with a 360-degree circle at its center. While some dismissed the device as a modded PC case, others felt that they had seen it somewhere before. That's because they had. Last September, an image was reportedly leaked from a Microsoft focus group, one of which was called the "Xbox FS." Since the name rumored to stand for "F*** Sony," many people laughed off the silver-gray image that accompanied it. However, when flipped on its side and put next to this week's photo (pictured), the two are clearly the same machine--a machine very much like one with a "concave center" described in recent reports in the British games press. But perhaps the most convincing proof came in the form of an image from the teaser site Ourcolony.net. The site, which has been linked to Microsoft and has "leaked" images of what appears to be Xbox 360 controllers, released a photo of what looks like a console with the a silver-gray finish and a disc tray in the same place as the concept image and leaked photo. One last bit of circumstantial evidence is that at the new MTV trailer for the Xbox's unveiling ends with the Xbox's new logo--against a gray, not black, background.

THEN YOU HAVE THE DESIGN FLOATING AROUND YESTERDAY



NOW YOU HAVE THIS PICTURE



Note all the similarities between the 3. Sources are teamxbox, spong, engadget, and gizmodo.

Spong confirmed that it is the final design, and teamxbox says they are confident it is the design that will show at E3.

No no the first one

That's the XBox 2 development kit (first and last pics).. the middle one is what it is rumored to look like.

More pics of the development kit here: http://www.macned.nl/news.php?id=1835

It also clearly confirms Xenon to be the name.

it only confirms the code name, which its been all along, and gamespot stated they would not use the codename on retail

The last pic is the same as the second pic And the first pic is from ourcolony rumored to be of the hdd expansion bay, doesn't look like an apple G5 to me (that is what MS used as the devkit HEHEHE).

so it must be it

I hate the design in the first post. Looks like a plastic toy briefcase, not a next-gen gaming system. It completely goes against the name 360, considering it's a flat square. I prefer the design slimpip posted.

well we figured out that the xbox2 is going to be one or the other, slims pic, or mine, and lets just say im rooting for slims

Why did you change the name of the post? "We've got it (XBox 360 pic)? We don't have shit. We've got a fake picture, a possible concept design, and a picture of the Xenon developmental kit..

If you take a look at the pictures at the link you posted, the pictures posted prior by slimpip are clearly NOT the Xenon development kits. The dev kits are modified Power Macs. The pictures that slimpip posted, at least the first and last one that look real, are clearly not of the development kits, since they are not full computer towers.

Why would you use a sales pitch? We're not selling anything, but if we were, we still wouldn't have it.. it'd be a bait and switch :P

well it needed a name change since people who have already seen the pic, would need to know that there is another pic
