I read an article is Newsweek about the XBox 360. they said it was quite possibly going to be the best console ever (or something like that). Actually the entire article seemed to glorify my Microsoft, and make them seem so innocent competitor to big-bad SONY, but anyways. Yeah, the others designs for the XBox 360 all looked pretty much the same but they said they chose that one because of the color and the "feel". If you ask me its looks sterile, cold, and lifeless (but its still a BIG improvement over the original XBox). They took the model to Japan for market research and when they showed it to people, people responded with "Its must be from Apple or Sony". What does that say about product design? lol, I think people like machines that have that digital age, souless/lifeless, techno-utopia feel and look to 'em. I actually think I'll buy an XBox 360 when its comes out later this year, some of the features they mention actually sounded worth getting. Its going to be released in early fall, not late summer (but then... what the real difference).
