"Well, here it is..."

New Xbox pics leaked, apparently. Looks crap.

All they need to do is make something a bit smaller than a DVD player, rectangular is fine, with an LCD screen on the front, and *bang* it's in the frontroom.

It's like those people that play funny shaped Ibanez guitars. They look stupid, but play well.

At around 8pm tonight it's being revealed in the US...then at 8pm tommorow in the UK.

Wow

I like the sound of the Silver and Gold subscriptions, cause obviously i'd be subscribed to the Gold service...cause im No.1.

Ahurhurhur.

There are already 2 topics about this, one in this forum and one in General Chat.

I think it looks good but why does it have to be so big? It looks bigger (well, longer) than the Xbox 1.

I copied and pasted this from... somewhere else. :-
