Following on from this week’s news that
Asia will see a massive Xbox 360 roll-out early in 2006, photos from the pre-launch preview event in Korea show some of the most outrageous console designs to date.
Take a gander at the image opposite. Ignoring the painfully thin girl for a second, you notice that the 360 she’s holding seems to be covered in the knee-grazing terror that is Astroturf, ideal for hosting your very own insect five-a-side football tournaments during power-cuts. You could use candles for floodlights and everything!
Of course, this isn’t the first time Microsoft has chosen to show some of the more obscure designs it has commissioned for its new baby, though sadly to date, none have gone on sale, with the only additions being changeable fascias for the console’s front. However, we expect in time that full hardware revisions of an aesthetic nature will become available.
We’ll keep you posted.
