Actually, these pics were first printed in Electronic Gaming Monthly's (or someting like that) Febuary edition that has yet to be published. The pics were then put on the web and have been circulating like wild-fire. Microsoft are furious, and there's nothing they can do. HAHAHAHA

The average need for gaming is about 5 and a half inches, suprisingly... :0)

Looks of the NEXT GEN CONSOLES:

PS2: some weird set top box from the 1980s. stupid design (mine fell over and broke)

XBOX: Thats a nice black dreamcast control isn't it!! What the hell is the box thing! Its a black PC.

GAMECUBE: A Nice small box, everything u need for gaming in 8 inches. light, no cords, YES PLEASE

DC: Makes a loud whirr, Nice looking, Nicely shaped, best console at the moment, thats a nice white X-box control!

I think the controller looks like Gamecubes older, fatter cousin... I'm a bit disapointed actually, I was hoping they would actually do something about the design, and I know many will be disapointed it's not an X-shape.

Humm, I'm only judging by appearance though, but I expect a heafty amount of sales comes down to appearance.

Well done anyway SR, good job.

I've got a Braun toasted sandwich maker which looks the same as that. The controller looks clumpy. But most importantly of all, I'm really pleased that one of the buttons will be backlit. That was what has been bugging me for ages. I'm so glad that it has all been cleared up now. I can sleep soundly once again.

It takes you to the redsplat front page....


..just kidding!

Looks alright I suppose!

Nothing really special, pretty standard looking for a console.

Don't see what's so special about the pad either, but it isn't a picture from the best angle really is it?


Anyway it's the first place I've seen it, so well done!
