... we imagine it would look a little something like this. Behold the Xbox 1080, created by one Carl Archambeault. First of all, let's stress that this product is not real. It's a conceptual mock-up, designed to "combine the gaming power of the Xbox 360 and the music and video power of the Microsoft Zune." It doesn't actually work though -- close inspection of the photos will reveal the handmade nature of the device.
As much as we like the idea of having a portable Xbox 360 -- and we're not the only ones -- the design leaves something to be desired. It's a bit largish, for one, and the bubbly aesthetics don't really match the svelte concavity of the Xbox 360. Also, we're not too sure about that toaster pop-up screen either. Still, it's a nice start and, heck, if you could play Halo on it, who cares what it looks like?

Not a bad idea, but it seems like it'd be tough to use those thumbsticks and also push the buttons at the right.

He got the stick layout wrong. It's configured like a Playstation controller.

Ha! You are so right. Good thing this isn't real then, Microsoft would have a riot to deal with, possibly an entire apocalypse! Or something of the variation.

The only reason I own an Xbox and not a playstation is because of the stick layout. Easier on my hand (I think). It's the reason I jumped the PS2 ship for an Xbox back in the day and the reason I own a 360 now.

This would be a perfect product for Sony to produce. Think about it. The layout is a Dual-Shock controller's, minus the face button shapes. Give it to a 3 to 5 yr old to play, then let em at an Xbox 360 (or variations afterward...).
They've been lied to!!!
And they will fall ungracefully to a PS3 (or 4, or 5...) and be a natural at it...
AAAARRRGGGHHHH!!!! Think of the madness!!! We gotta stop this madness!!!
***chainsaws the dumbass who modeled this***
***wipes sweat off brow***
Whoo... that was fun... :D

Looks like it would be for the first xbox, not the 360 since it has buttons for white and black.
