Keepin' it real fake, part CXXI: Sapido NAS apes another Xbox 360 KIRF

Okay, so it's one thing to copy Microsoft on its Xbox 360 design -- and yes, Amigo did so shamelessly with its R622AG WLAN router that we peeked about this time last year -- but it takes some serious cohones to copy a copycat. Nevertheless, Sapido has done just that with its latest NAS. Yeah, we could tell you all about its SAMBA / FTP / BT compatibility, but we'd rather point out that for all intents and purposes, this enclosure is the exact same one Amigo used when showcasing its own device last year. So apparently there's a universally accepted method for ripping off Redmond's console -- who knew?

SBOX?

Looks better than the 360.
Nice and slim.

slim shady

I would be impressed if it could reproduce the RROD in about as many as that found in the XBOX360.

I would've been surprised if some idiot hadn't made an RROD joke.

It's spelled cojones...

True, but they're "keepin' it real fake" ;)

That thing looks better than the Xbox 360.
Its slim, neat and doesn't seem to have a power block larger than the unit itself.


If this thing could make the R R O D when it loses connection to the internet I WOULD SO BUY THIS !!!!

Yea, it's fake but if M$ made the XBOX lose some weight, it would be sexy.

[Josh L @ Jun 5th 2008 11:05AM]

If they made it "lose some weight", it would almost certainly come with a loss of power. Not to mention exacerbating the already prevalent heating issues.

I doubt MS will redesign the Xbox360 like Sony did to the PS2.
Most likely, they'll just change the innards.

Over time, MS has made the Xbox more reliable but, the newer CPU's are designed to give the same performance yet use less electricity.

wtf! that crap looks like my sh*t. no really i have a real 360, that looks like something i would buy on my funeral. i dont want to see what the controller looks like. this has to be a joke.

[TK @ Jun 5th 2008 2:15PM]

I wouldn't be surprised if it shows "red ring of death" after few hours of usage.

[fred @ Jun 5th 2008 2:15PM]

i bet you this one wonr rrod on you the first time you play it.

[Davsot @ Jun 5th 2008 4:17PM]
