It's not very good, but here is a photo of Xbox 2 (or at the very least a portion of Xbox 2)

Let me rephrase...i'll be in the first group to physically see it and play it before anyone else who doesn't attend e3, which is the majority.

"Then why do I have this photo and not you?"

Because you have the internet, and someone else has photoshop or paint.

I'm just messing around.  I'm sure it IS authentic.  It's obviously Microsoft running the ourcolony.net website.  It is definitely a picture of Xbox 2 or an Xbox 2 peripheral.

What do you do for the videogame industry caffinefiend?  Whatever it is you seem to take a lot of pride in it.  I would imagine that there are focus groups, hardware developers, game developers,  upper-level people at game publishing firms and journalists from major game publications that will all get handson time with Xbox 2 before me.  What do you do for a living?

Asks if you'd like the replacement warranty with your game/system.

The dev machines are just Apple G5's with dual processors, 512 MB or RAM and an ATI X800 based videocard.  They sport the usual aluminum mesh case that all G5's have.

Pretty comical for a Microsoft Product to be made with development machines running a Mac OS.

No no no.  You're all fools!  This is what it's realy going to look like!

 :P

If you couldn't tell, I got the picture from xbox-scene...
If there's bees in the trap I'm catching em
By the thorax and abdomen
And sanding the stingers down to a rough quill
Then I dip em in ink, and I scribble a bit
But if it they wriggle then I tickle em until they hold still
Lemme say it again
In my land of pretend
I use bees as a mf'n pen

I think that might be the real thing.  The picture up top could be the black part that sticks out on the left side of that last photo.  And there are some fairly reliable sources confiming that last pic.

No way.  It would be an automatic failure.  They'll have two versions.  One will be a $300 barebones version that will play all the games, the other will be a $400 version that will include WebTV and probably media center capabilities.

I'm not concerned whether it's a render or photo if it's accurate.

Is that you blueoakleyz?

Get off your high horse.  Most here are past the age of your "MTV generation".  For supposedly working in the "industry" you sure have nothing but negative things to say about it.  In fact, most of your posts seem to be nothing but whining about how this system sucks or that game sucks.

You work at a store.  You don't make, publish or do anything with games save for ringing them up at the register.  You're not as important to the video game industry as you think.

What it looks like also shares what it'll be able to do. I don't see the harm in speculating.

WTF... You've said yourself you work at EB Games... although I seem to remember you saying you were "still in the system" meaning you quit or got fired.   Get over yourself kid.

And BTW... he's not blueoakleyz.    caffinefiend = dreamcastninja..... not that that is much better.  He's admitted to that before on the board too, but I'm sure he'll give a 15year old response to that too.
