XBLA Portable: Worst fake product mock-up ever? [update 1]
There's this guy, this guy named Jeff. And well, Jeff sent us this post of what he claims to be a "real" portable Xbox. Jeff goes on and on about the specs, and everything seems well and good, but then the bad stuff hits: actual photos of the "product" he claims he has possession of.
Look at what our boy Jeff says will be in this XBLA device (just try not to laugh too hard while doing so):
It has a 1" screen, and a D-Pad, Front Button, and 2 Rear Buttons.
They have between 512 MB to 2 GB of space, and can play music.
Microsoft is also to announce, to combat the Virtual console, may retro systems to be playable on XBLA and this device, notably the Atari 2600.
There are 5 different "Shells" this will come in. Some have a few more buttons, some don't.
The base model (I have this one) will start at $39.99 - and the top model will go at around $99.99.
Wow, OK Jeff. You got us there, good one. Not only are the specs ridiculous -- one inch screen? -- but the pictures of what the actual product looks like are about spot on for a third grade science project. We'd like to think Microsoft doesn't have third graders creating prototypes for them, but you never know.
Check out the other brilliant pics after the break.
[Update: It really is the worst mock-up ever. Why? Because it's a cereal toy. Way to go Jeff. You tried to pawn off a toy as your very own portable Xbox. You're the man now, dog!]
