Xbox 360: Full Final Hardware Shown Right Here!

True M$ has me very worried about where their going in the industry, but i feel the same way about Sony and their very similar to M$ way of functionality and bottom line. Here is praying the Revolution will stear the industry back on track and kick all the posers A$$es.

I think the new console is beautiful ; I can’t wait to have one sitting in my living room. Good job Microsoft. By the way, this was not a spong exclusive, I saw this Image on www.ign.com first. I think spong gets all its “exclusives” off of IGN’s site. Cut and paste guys, cut and paste. But about the xbox360.. I think it looks nice.

So because you saw it on IGN means first it was their exclusive, right? Well unless you cycle through every gaming site constantly, how can you be sure?

Also, please note, we don't claim it as an exclusive. It seems that the images were first posted to a forum, I've found mention of somethingawful.com but no direct links and I can't find a thread on there that has the images.

Also please note that IGN, XBox365, Team Xbox, The Inquirer, GI.biz, Punch Jump, Slashdot, Neowin, Ve3d.com, Ferrago, GamesRadar, Gamespot, and Eurogamer all have the images or links to them and none of them are claiming to have broken the story as an exclusive.

Uhhh.. No actually.. what I mean is that this news was posted on IGN a good 2 days ago, almost every single new article spong posts is a rehash of something that was posted on IGN first days before. Even the E3 list was acknowledged as being directly taken from IGN’s site, admittedly by the staff at spong. Dont get me wrong, I enjoy both sites, but its true

uhhhh, no actually what you are doing is called back peddling, which is rather sad. fact is you got all pissed off and shot your mouth off without thinkign it through (which i have certainly been guilty of) and now that you are being called on it you are changing your story rather than admiting fault (ill gladly admit to being wrong about something, it means i just learned somethign new, learning is good). you coudl atleast throw the word "Sorry" in there somewhere.



as was discussed before, the difference is usually due to the time chnage and the fact that ign operates at the same time as the game publishers so its more likely they would be in the office when it occurs. Plus spong isnt taking any kick backs or handing out good reviews for exclusives.



so, they admit when they blatantly copy something, and you harp on them for it, and then acuse them of being deceptive, even though you sight an ocurence of them admiting to copying somethign when they do it.

did config steal your girl friend or something? stop picking your little bone and say somethign worth while, or at the very least on topic.

But SPOnG's news piece was posted 2 days ago too. There could be a few hours between them, but not the gap you're insinuating.

HAHAHHAAHHAHAHAHAHHAHA what a pick, and its to early to determine if the 360 is gonna look good compared too its competition.

Honestly, to me it just looks like Alienware. Nothing special, nothing new. If you ask me they could've cut down on the size of that green power light and maybe the system wouldn't look like its just a PC rehash.

There's not much Mac about it. For a start, it isn't see through, nor in garish pastel colours. It's also not chunky enough, ironically. It's also not like an Alienware machine, as it's not gloss nor base colours. It also lacks the massive vents. It looks more like Chieftec's cases, really. Or a Sky+ box, in the case of the front-on pic.

The whole point of this design is simple: to do what Sony have been trying all along and make it blend in with the rest of your setup.

Oh, and many sites had those pics up before IGN. Hell, I got handed a pretty similar image a week ago. It's just some people wait for confirmation before embarrassing themselves, Daily Mirror style, over fakes. Though I had been handed the pic and told "this is real!", I didn't just stick it on my scanner and put it up- I awaited confirmation from another source. Now I have it. It's good.

Lupos, it seems as though you’re the one running your mouth off. Do you know what peddling means??? Please explain to me how I was peddling? If your definition of peddling is sticking with what I said and cementing my opinion in the ground then yea.. but that’s not what it means, I NEVER rescinded my statement. I think the vast majority of what Spong reports as exclusive is in fact, not exclusive, I certainly don’t believe that’s always the case, I do see a few, such as the rumored rare launch game duo, and as I clearly stated, I like both websites, otherwise I obviously wouldn’t be reading spong. Its not a big deal, unless people like you blow it out of proportion, I was simply clarifying that I had read it first elsewhere for people like smelly who stated it was a spong exclusive, and then one of the writers for spong clarified that it wasn’t.. just like I thought, I never said it was an IGN exclusive either.. just saying I read it there first. You said I got all pissed off and shot my mouth off?? Pissed off at whom? Where did you get this impression…. Re-read that post.. there isn’t even the slightest tone of anger in that post, I said it casually.. “oh by the way”… blah blah blah…

This article is in no way an exclusive. The other user who replied to your message was right about the origiinal image coming from somethingawful.com. Unfortunately, you won't find the thread it is in because the board it is on is a members only board (well, you can see the thread if you feel like paying 10 dollars for an account). The picture was posted with a watermark that said "SA GAMES FORUM LOL" and the original poster decided to post an un-watermarked version so people could edit the picture and stuff. Needless to say, people jumped all over it, and now there are websites EVERYWHERE saying that they have the exclusive.

Anyone getting the feelin that green power light is somewhat hypnotizin'?I sure do.(That) and xbox360 video feature would be a great start for M$ don't you think?Brace yourself!

He\She's right. Spong again claims an exclusive that is not. It was on ourcolony first, then on Kotaku. Then Gametab picked it up. I know this because all the other sites claim correct credit, yet Spong never does give credit to other sites.

I have heard of three versions. 1) Made for the casual gamer and only uses memory cards. 2) Made for a more avid gamer and contains the 64 megabite hard drive 3) A fully functional computer for online users. Rumors have it that the third will be quite more expensive but will combine the console and computer together as a way to make it the centerpiece of your entertainment system. Everything right now is nothing but speculation though. We won't know till they show!
