Xbox 360 design – past and present

Uncategorized

Before the Xbox 360 become the Xbox 360, it underwent a couple of prototypes.

Xbox 360 cushion

Such as this cushion Xbox 360. I think you suppose to rest your feet somewhere at the green glow. Designed by Chiaki Murata of Hers Experimental Design Laboratory. (By the way, if you go to Hers, you’ll realize they made a spelling mistake of their company right on the web site title! They spelt ‘laboratory’ or ‘laboratoy’ which sounds fun anyway.)

Xbox 360 car wheel

And the above is one of the prototypes I’ve seen before. Also designed by Murata. Thank god this didn’t make it at all! It looks like a car wheel.

Today's Xbox 360.

Lastly, this is today’s design of the Xbox 360. I’m kinda relieve that both prototypes didn’t make it actually.

Hitler’s downfall is Microsoft’s fault!

Uncategorized

Saw this at YouTube, love the subtitles. This is the story of Hitlers Downfall, his final defeat against Microsoft has now pushed him over the edge.

Verry funny stuff. Microsoft terminated Adolf Hitler’s Live account when he had a gamescore of more than 2000, now he has to play super-fucking-mario on his N64.

Xbox 360 gets new peripheral QWERTY thumb keyboard

Uncategorized

Engadget notes that Xbox 360 is getting a new peripheral – a QWERTY keyboard no less.

Xbox 360 gets new peripheral QWERTY thumb keyboard

It doesn’t really look too comfortable but it’s perhaps something new. It’s now got a keyboard and it’s somewhat like a computer now. It just needs a web browser, probably not Mozilla Firefox. How about Xbox 360 Internet Explorer? (Please give me some money if you use this name, thank you.)

I was just thinking last week actually – one day gaming consoles and PCs would become some sort of a combine console. And the company that’s likely to make it happen is probably Microsoft. Apple is going a slightly different directly by introducing the Apple TV thing. It’s cool but honestly, I don’t think it would sell that well.

Sony has a great contender in Playstation 3 but the Playstation 3 console pricing is just not as consumer-friendly. But whether Microsoft Xbox 360, Sony Playstation 3 or Nintendo Wii win is really not much of my concern; in the end, they just come and go but the overall technological benefit they bring to the living room – well, those are here to stay.

The whole living room technology is going to be really exciting coming decade, so watch out for it. ;)

[By the way, I'm currently drooling over Command and Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars. Any kind (and wealthy) soul wish to buy it for me? Hehee...] Secret.

Me: Oh, then you support what country?
Friend: You mean I bet what, is it?
Me: No lar, like which country you wish would win.
Friend: I wish Japan or Korea leh, support Asia people mah. Kanninah _(vulgarity)_, you support the Ang moh meh, they are for betting only lar.

Hmmmp, that’s one for Asian sports I guess. Maybe my friend’s right, we perhaps should give our Asian counterparts more support. Hopefully one day, our Asian friends would get to the top of World Cup; let it not be an Xbox 360 scenario.
