Yes it is.

Yes it is.
Prototype consoles rarely look like the final versions. The dev PSOnes were blue - they then released retail dev consoles (Yaroze) in black. The cables popping out of the side can be found on a lot of dev kits, for hooking up to various other devices, PC/Mac included. Just because it's off-colour doen't mean it's fake.
That's not to say this is real though. There are too many suspicious clues about the photos to suggest they're fake. You never quite see what's to the back/right of the TV - a standard Xbox perhaps? That's all you'd nee to run Halo 2 and a 360 Demo clip containing a splash screen.
I never saw the shots of his Dad's ID cards, but it wouldn't be hard to knock up a fake ID card, especially when it's going to be snapped by a low-res camera.
I don't care if it's real or not. If it is, good on him, the jammy scallie. If it's fake, the joke is on all you mugs who fell for it.
The internet is notorious for hoaxes. Take that into consideration when things like this crop up.

From experiance you would need a very good mould to produce all the holes where the venting is, You wouldn't have been able drill all those holes by hand, it would have to have been done on a CNC machine.
If this is a fake then a lot of hard work has gone into making it, and out of good quality plastics. There must be test units out there though, if they expect to release it in November which is only 4 months away.
I could imagine microsoft debadging their prototype/test console so that they could deny rumours if they fell into the wrong hands, could explain why the cosole looks so grey

Hmmmm.
*Takes a second look*
Anyone reasonably experienced with vacuum-moulded plastic could make that from a CDT machine and a good mould.
Too much grey, even where the button is. I know find it doubtful that this is a real 360/prototype.

It is very convincing if it is fake. Note the rather official looking sticker and the pads on the bottom.
That xbox 360 must be a testing version, Because it's not even out yet.
I hope it's real and his dad loses his job.
What. A. Moron.
Does he realise how much trouble he'll get his Dad in? That's genius. Although there's no evidence it was an actual working console, you could rig the image on the screen, and plastic-mould a similar console.
Of course I'm jealous.
