Zoozen's conceptual Ovo 360 replacement case for Xbox 360

We've certainly got no qualms with hacking up your Xbox 360 case to garner maximum enjoyment out of it, and if production issues can work themselves out, it looks like Zoozen will be stepping to the plate for those who want a pre-fabricated change. Of course, if you're just looking for a glossy white paint job, we're sure Colorware could arrange it, but the Ovo 360 replacement case looks more like a gigantic mouse (albeit a bit less oval-inspired) than a gaming console. The concept displays a full neon underbody kit, all the ports we're become so used to on Microsoft's own design, and a frightening disclaimer that a good bit of "development" is still in the works. But hey, if it's the thought that counts (at least initially), Zoozen's probably got a winner, so be sure to click on through for a brief videotaped overview of the case itself.

Looks good enough to be a new MAC but I much perfer my 360's case (minus the crappy overheating and all)

It looks good enough to be a new Media Access Control?

Forget this I want my 360 laptop part 3.

I have to say, this looks like a cross between the Wii and the Xbox 360.

But beyond that, it still kind of looks feminine to me. If I wanted to change my Xbox 360's looks, I would definitely go with ColorWare for this.

It looks neat, the case looks bigger than the 360's so maybe it'll allow for better air flow and cooler temps.

Interesting. Really wish MS had just made memory cards regular USB devices, the two memory card slots go completely unused by me.

Is it just me, or does it look like a pregnant Wii?

@Tavis Veighey LOL

whats the cut in the top for?
other than that it looks great

[Trauts @ Apr 29th 2007 5:50AM]

This could make the Xbox360 thievery-proof!

[kadajawi @ Apr 29th 2007 6:59AM]

It's a bit too bulky to me... and I think the original Xbox360 looks better.

[Morisato @ Apr 29th 2007 7:54AM]

Talk about ugly... ZooZen needs to spend the money for real R&D people, rather than settle for their cheap immigrant counterparts. This thing ranks lower than Dell laptops.

[cDub @ Apr 29th 2007 8:21AM]

I kinda like it. This would be good for a 360 set up as a home theater.

[L.Rawlins @ Apr 29th 2007 9:39AM]

I quite like the shape. It's very 'arty'... which apparently to some people above means it's for girls.

*Rolls eyes*

However, in a typical AV cabinet this design suffers for not being stackable with other receivers/amps/consoles misc. hardware because of that bulbous shape...

Although come to think of it the same ailment befalls the PS3.

A nice showpiece though. If they hardwired the HD-DVD unit and WLAN in there and were using the guts of an Elite model, I might be tempted to pick one up.

I mean if you're going to go to the trouble of modding the thing, you might aswell do it properly.

wow the original 360 stunk!!!

[mmiikey @ Apr 29th 2007 10:25AM]

xbox 360 wiilite.

[Dave @ Apr 29th 2007 12:20PM]

Wish they'd make a slot-loading console. Trays suck.

[Ayle @ Apr 29th 2007 2:01PM]

If they wanted to implement a slot loading drive they would've had to ask Microsoft before for a new driver....

[Mike @ Apr 29th 2007 5:57PM]

Maybe they have found a way of usefully recycling all that excess heat, it looks like a sandwich toaster.

[robothouse @ Apr 29th 2007 7:13PM]

Ewwwww...what is it with console makers and round tops? Let me lay it out for you: they're butt ugly, they're not stackable, and they create way too much unnecessary mass.

[robothouse @ Apr 29th 2007 7:18PM]

PS: Hehehe, nice one, Andrew.

[Tedious @ Apr 30th 2007 10:49AM]

It looks like an oversized version of one of those old external modems. Ach.
