First Pic of the actual XBOX 360?????

I think it looks alright, as leat it's not as ugly as the first Xbox. It's more sleek, and much less smaller than it's predecessor.

Less smaller? Does that mean it's bigger? If so...shame on you, Microsoft. Seriously.

I will be impressed if it's just an Xbox with upgraded hardware.


That would be sufficient, but I would only actually be impressed if they had better controllers than last time.

I felt that the Controller S was even worse.

The Dpad worked better but it tore up my thumbs to the point that it was uselessm, and the white and black buttons are positioned horribly. I ended up using an adapter to hook up Saturn controllers for 2D fighting games and such, which works very well. Most games the original Dpad works well enough IMO.

The console looks pretty decent actually. I just make dumb jokes when I'm tired.

The controller scares me though..... a lot.....

The picture is a decoy. Everyone logs in to the central Xenon motherbrain, which is way more not tinier. It has it's own zip code. Floats out there in the Pacific. Has it's own Krusty Burger franchise......

What adapter is that? I would love to use a Saturn controller on the XBOX for all my emulators and roms!!!

It's a HK or Chinese thingy called Magic Box. The engrish on the box is funny as heck.

I got it from Lik-Sang. It costs about $25 dollars which made me nervous at first but it works very well. Also adaptsDC and PS/PS2 controllers. I haven't had much luck with my DC ascii stick, but other than that no problems (I have only tried DC controllers in passing, and I haven't tried dual shocks/etc. at all with it, though they claim the analog sticks are properly functional I believe.)

There are other adapters also.....

Here's some scans from an upcoming German first-look at the 360. Pictures confirm what's been circulating for awhile now (and what we'll all see tonight on MTV). Have at it. (http://www.maxconsole.net/?mode=news&newsid=3695)

That's too bad! There were some nice looking scans of Ghost Recon 3 that may not end up on the MTV special tonight.
