It's CLEARLY not real, it isn't even a photo for crying out loud! It's more an "artist's impression" whoever created it has taken the rumours/reports of what people have said Xbox 360 will look like and incorporated those elements into a semi-believeable rendition of what it might look something like. The the most gapingly obvious problem with the picture is that the wirless controllers will definately not use infra red! There hasn't been an IR controller since the SNES days, it's a outdated and absurd technology for wireless controllers! Nintendo's Wavebird wireless controllers (and later Logitech's PS2/Xbox controllers) use superb wireless technology that I assume uses RF, not IR, and provide what I'd estimate as over 100 hours of gameplay on a pair of AA batteries. Microsoft will almost certainly use the same technology.

As for the memory card ports, well, the latest reports indicate that ther will be a version with an included hard drive, and one with a hard drive as an optional extra. There will almost certainly be memory card ports of some sort, but probably not two. They will only be used for making game saves portable, but Microsoft could just as easly make game saves part of Xbox Live, and keep them saved on a centralised server should they wish, pretty much eliminating the need for memory cards. I'm not saying this will happen, but I'd wager two front-mounted memory card ports will not appear on the final console design.

That "on" button is absurdly large as well, I'd expect Xbox 360 to look like something resembling the rendition posted, but will ultimately look much more polished and "cool" looking. After all, Microsoft are clearly going after that "cool" crowd of casual gamers who don't really give a **** about games as long as they get their fix of EA marketting-licenced-mediocre fests. :sleep:

i think by them saying "after many false sightings" and "our sources are confirming that this is really it"

the sketeches and other such are all BS, just to get that spread around, so people have have their 15 min of internet fame.

our sources?  who's your sources.. your f-ing grandma?  EVEN if this kid knew someone in microsoft, what is the CHANCE of them saying "ya that's it." and him even working on, or even seeing what xbox 360 looks like!

damn.  and they just wanna put their site on it, to get hits.  stupid n00bs!

that power button looks like it doesn't belong in the image. Just seems "off" (no pun intended).

Thought of something...

I'm sure this isn't exactly the final design because there's no property logos on the system

EDIT: I'm not saying its fake, just that the final will be more refined

I am actually convinced this is genuine,or at least an official concept. It sports the new logo, only revealed today in the MTV Advert. The Font used on the Memory Card slots, are in the custom made font "Convection" Microsoft are using for the console.

It satisfies all the confirmed design information we have heard, convex shape, ring of light (the glowing ring around the power button). The Only thing which doesnt square up, is the logo not appearing inside the simple nexus.

Perhaps they saw the logo in the documents, and not on the machine itself...
