The closest pc I ever saw that resembles the xbox360 was my old Patriot Book PC that was the same height, colour, size and could be stood up horizontally or vertically.

I actually thought it was a funny post on your site but rather far-fetched

Hey, I didn’t take it too seriously either, it was just a spur of the moment thing when I was setting up one of those GX220s for a friend - I just decided to snap a pic.

Hey Brad, thanks for the comment. I noticed later that one could also misinterpret my post as taking a piss directly at you, and that wasn’t my intention, I just didn’t take the likeness too seriously

I choose to ignore all sarcasm in the post, and say thank you for the complement. Anyway…

I wasn’t trying to say it was exactly alike, just that there are some simalarities. Microsoft didn’t even design the 360, a company called Astrostudios had that task.

That looks nothing like it you can put alot of pictures that somewhat look like it but overall nothing looks like it figures people want to put things on the internet so someone can sue the other person I hate people posting something that looks very slightly like what MS made and say did they steal the idea get over it nothing like what MS made people love to sue just to make more money.

After some more research I found the original designs of Nintendo’s Gamecube and the slimline PS2 btw. I think console builders are in for major legal troubles.

That is real funny, must say it looks so much close to each other designs I would say it’s no coincidence, one way or the other: or they did steal the design and made it better actually, or Dell made the design which I think is the less logical option.

MS will not let other parties design it I bet, they will do it internally.
For sure the design got so much better at least, ofcourse it’s a subjective opinion always, but the 360 looks really good. As it also does compared to the PS3 design, which in my humble opinion looks like a bread toaster and it’s controller like a boomerang or some stupid spaceship. MS knows how to improve things also seen by there magnificent WiFi controller.

Even if they’re M$, I love wat they did with the 360 and all the hardware/software and Live!

“Especially the Ring of Light looks uninspiring when you see the Dell logo that possibly influenced it.”

Surely the “ring of light” idea was knicked of the SKY+ box?
