Yea and no.
Firstly, it's standing up and the sides don't look flat, so you probably wouldn't be able to rest much stuff on top of it. If the sides were flat it would be a lot better, but ofcourse they're going for style and the hope that everyone will be leaving them vertical (which I personally won't be).
The Remote actually does look OK, probably my favourite part of this new package. Windows button? LOL I can only imagine what Billy boy has in store for us.
I noticed that the controller has the start + back buttons up the top too, I don't like this as I think they are more practical where they originally are. THe pic doesn't really show if the White + Black buttons (usually located at the bottom right hand side) are still there, but I'm guessing they're not. Have they gone the same direction as the playstation controllers and have 4 shoulder buttons?
I'm definately gonna look into alternative controllers and a case in the future.

i'd have to say M$ picked a horrible focus group or whoever decided what designs looked best. i'd have to say overall the controller and the console look very plain, cheap, and generic. not what i'm looking for in a $300+ purchase. i want it to look like its worth it. maybe some chrome or neon with some DUB's would help it out some. the top of the 360 also seems to be deliberatly left out but what's up there that could make up for its dissappointing looks...?

I actually like the design...I think it is the color way that throws it off. They say it will be very upgradable...lets just hope that is cheap. _________________ SE Halo Xbox v1.4 :

Agreed. the color is unappealing, but hey thats what my buffer and airbrush are for. I'd paint it gun metal with some carbon fiber _________________ Xbox v1.0

I don't have it here anymore due to reason I'm sure you'd understand, I'd have hundreds of ppl msg'ing me asking me for help etc which I don't need, especially being the creator of AID and SID I'd get heaps...
