New Pictures of Xbox360 Design Prototypes Surface

From technabob.com:
[QUOTE]
Chiaki Murata's Xbox 360 design is now commonplace in living rooms around the world. But back in 2003, the system was still just in the conceptual stages. Now, the Japanese industrial designer has released some great images of a couple of his original design concepts that didn't make it.
Xbox360 Design Prototypes Xbox360 Design Prototypes

I've never seen a picture of this first prototype. Like the final version of the Xbox 360, the first prototype was all white. However, it featured a glossy, pillow-like square case design, with a large glowing green "X" on the side.
The second prototype was seen floating around the Microsoft campus before the final design was announced in 2005. It featured a metallic-looking industrial case that almost looked like the wheel of a car.

Meh, first design looks a bit cheap, and i really dont like that 2nd one. It would be a real turn off to the entire system if it had looked like that.

I reckon they hit spot on with the final design. Very sleek, and just sexy to look at.

w00t. 2100th post....eh

Anything bigger than the current/final design would have been better than what we have now...

The final design may look sleek but obviously it hampers the much needed cooling.

the green glowing "X" would have been a very cool feature if they implemented it in the final design.

Yeah, japanese audience would have loved that "plutonium briefcase" look, expecially after two atomic bombs.

Where are you supposed to hook power and (HD)TV out in the "wheel" one ?
