What more needs to be said? Luke and Vader console-ified. They do look like they'd stack nicely. Thanks Drew!

Can we please stop taking pictures of this thing on its side???? I will most likely not have it like that, and I am tired of it only being shown in this position. Anyways, other than that, this is a great shot! Def smaller than ol black clunkster there, but maybe a touch larger than was rumored. Need more angles to determine depth, top, etc. Thanks for the pic!

Nice looking. Smaller than the Xbox but bigger than I expected.
Is it true that it is really liquid-cooled?

I want to see the PS3 next to the Xbox caus it's a bit larger.

The image is a bit deceiving since it doesn't include the Xbox 360's external hard drive. If one were to attach it the X360 would be almost as tall/long as the original Xbox.
Still, the X360 certainly looks much better than the original Xbox.

That is a prototype. The dimensions of the actual production model are quite larger:

Did you even read the comments? If you take out your ruler you'll see that the original xbox
320mm x 100mm x 260mm
NOT
305mm x 101mm x 203mm

It looked huge when it was initial shown.

I never saw what people were talking about when they said it was styled like the iPod, but now, seeing it side-by-side with the original XBox, I totally see what people are talking about. It does totally look a lot like a huge iPod. That's cool by me.

It looks like photoshop, there are two different shadow angles

It is a photoshop fake. As the poster above said, there are two different angles for the shadows, and the two consoles don't cast shadows accurately. If TeamXbox were to be believed, the 360 is a bit larger than the original xbox, albeit by a few mm in length and width. The height is less than the original xbox.
Not a big deal. I am buying a home game console, not a handheld. It's the power that matters, and the X360 has got oodles of it.

Sweet zombie jesus. It isn't a fake. There are not two shadow angles. There is a light above, behind, and to the left of the consoles. Additionally, there is plenty of ambient daylight from the open windows. Finally, there's a reflection in the slightly shiny table, which I'm guessing is what you visual impaired folk are confused by.

Have you NEVER been in a room with more than one light bulb? There is more than one shaddow because there more than one light source.
How about a PS3 / PS2 (original and mini) comparison? Or at least a PS3 / Xbox360

Silly debate, some of us saw it at e3. Sure not side to side by the old box, but its defiantly smaller, if not in dimensions the curved surfaces make it appear much smaller in profile. Far more pleasant than the current clunker.

I can't believe some of you people. Thousands of us saw the dam box with our own eyes not 1 foot in front of our faces. The darn thing is much smaller than the Xbox! It is much skinnier.
Why do people still complain it's so big? It's smaller than many standalone DVD players? It's smaller than the Xbox and its about the same size as the PS2 except it looks much cooler.
It really does look really cool when you see it in person especially with the faceplates. I can't wait to purchase the silver face plate!

yeah because half the time I'm completely immensed in the awe inspiring graphics and the other half I'm simply staring at my console.
They could've made it out of black double dong dildos and you'd still buy it.

Well the original one is much bigger and thicker. The newer one is much smaller, sleeker, and sexier but I don't really care how the consoles look I mainly care about proformance. This is a great picture it's pretty great to compare them side by side. The new one definatly will be more main stream and not just for hardcore gamers because of it's look.

LOL @ the moron claiming it's a fake. next time you want to sound like you know what you're talking about, try discussing hentai or tentacle porn...something youre more likely to know a thing or two about, because you obviously don't know $#!+ about photoshop.

also, why the hell do they keep changing the color of these damn consoles? use BLACK, godammit. no one wants to see that discoteque piece-of-shit wedged into the middle of their entertainment center where EVERYTHING else is black. i don't know about the rest of you, but im not trying to show off my video game consoles to everyone (read 'females') that i bring back to my apartment.

You still have black components in your entertainment center? My Xbox is the only thing that isn't silver, and a nicer looking one (that doesn't have controller cords hanging down) will certainly find a more prominent (read easier to reach) place on my rack.

no, everything is pink. i just wanted to rant about black...
yes; it's all black, and unless i can get a black case for that new 360, i probably won't get one. i wouldn't want to ruin the aesthetics of the focal point in my living room just to have it around. it's like they're moving backwards, using the colors of the original desktop PCs before they realized people didn't want to have to hide their bland, off-white PCs in a back room, hence the majority of desktops are now black out-of-the-box.

Stu, that's special Xbox they use to run unfinished code/games on. It's got twice as much RAM than a standard Xbox and a few other nice features for developers :o)

Sorry, l0tus, I'm just surprised. I haven't seen a black TV for quite some time, and nobody I know has black components, everybody has silver. Maybe it's just the aesthetic of my circle of friends, but I also like the silver/white look more than black. Black just seems like an obvious anomoly unless you're enclosing it in a frosted cabinet. I don't have doors over my equipment, and the silver matches my decor better.

Dammit. They both look terrible.
Would you seriously like the look of those things if they didn't have XBOX on them?
Bleehh..
The old one was rediculous but this one looks like an unpainted DVD player's aborted half cousin.

I love how people complain that the different game consoles arent trendy enough. Its a game console, get over yourself. If you want a work of art, go buy a piece of art. As long as its not butt-ugly who really cares what it looks like? I think it looks so-so, but I dont really care as long as it performs well.

not all of us still live our parents, therefore we might have concerns other than stuffing a new game console into our entertainment centers just so we can play some new video games.

No matter what a console looks like people will never be happy with it. I know this tho all the consoles look good and i know this arguement will never end. I want a 360 i was in line for the first xbox and halo and i'll be there for this one. I think that that sony is a good company but there games are just not American enough always dubbed looking to me But thats what i think. Remember its not what youlike its what i like thats going to make me buy the console i choose in the end.

It is photo shopped. If you look between them, you can see a shadow. I'm talking about the heaviest one. The is nothing to generate it. The back edge is placed correctly, but the front edge stops too early.
I don't mind, the comparison is still good.
Some one said there is nothing to stop the PS3.

All my entertainment electronics are black in a wooden cabinet. But to symbolize the 360's break from the ordinary, I intend to buy a face plate that is neither black nor wooden.
