This 360 its just ugly, bigger and with no sense of design.

i wouldnt go as far as totally awesome...but theres something about the look that is eye-catching and somewhat smooth looking. depending on how its set up with a tv and entertainment center, it could look really sweet.]]>Nov 26th 2009 2:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/26/xbox-360-elegant-edition-shows-microsoft-how-its-done/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/26/xbox-360-elegant-edition-shows-microsoft-how-its-done/Nov 26th 2009 3:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/26/xbox-360-elegant-edition-shows-microsoft-how-its-done/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/26/xbox-360-elegant-edition-shows-microsoft-how-its-done/Nov 26th 2009 3:51AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/26/xbox-360-elegant-edition-shows-microsoft-how-its-done/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/26/xbox-360-elegant-edition-shows-microsoft-how-its-done/

Not saying anything for sure of course, as I understand it the ring is caused by a heatsink coming away from the 'board. But maybe they can provide enough airflow to prevent that.]]>Nov 26th 2009 1:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/26/xbox-360-elegant-edition-shows-microsoft-how-its-done/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/26/xbox-360-elegant-edition-shows-microsoft-how-its-done/Nov 26th 2009 3:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/26/xbox-360-elegant-edition-shows-microsoft-how-its-done/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/26/xbox-360-elegant-edition-shows-microsoft-how-its-done/Nov 26th 2009 4:00AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/26/xbox-360-elegant-edition-shows-microsoft-how-its-done/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/26/xbox-360-elegant-edition-shows-microsoft-how-its-done/
They should've repositioned the "X" right in the center of the white section in front, just north of the DVD tray. That would've made it look proper.

In fact, they should get rid of the tray and replace it with a slot-loading mechanism if at all possible.]]>Nov 26th 2009 3:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/26/xbox-360-elegant-edition-shows-microsoft-how-its-done/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/26/xbox-360-elegant-edition-shows-microsoft-how-its-done/What they 'should' have done is put a bit more effort into the visual design of the mod.

If their intention was for function only, then rather than posting pictures it would be better to post:
temperature readings,
sound levels when running for e.g. GoW2
and possibly any differences in load times.

Still I'd be proud as hell to make something like this.

I've never performed a casemod and so probably doesn't appreciate the problems that arise from this kind of project.]]>Nov 26th 2009 5:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/26/xbox-360-elegant-edition-shows-microsoft-how-its-done/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/26/xbox-360-elegant-edition-shows-microsoft-how-its-done/ "I probably don't"

Yeah I agree.

A slot loading drive would have looked a lot better. I agree.]]>Nov 26th 2009 9:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/26/xbox-360-elegant-edition-shows-microsoft-how-its-done/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/26/xbox-360-elegant-edition-shows-microsoft-how-its-done/
There's a lot more they could do with it while making it look "elegant".

Agreed and we can always rely on Engadget to provide subjective writing and reporting. It's good that you think it's all that Vladislav, but don't try to sell it to us, especially to those of us who think it does look like a printer or metal box.

For the record, I personally think the current Xbox in black looks good or at the very least, I'll take it over this "box" any day. ]]>Nov 26th 2009 8:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/26/xbox-360-elegant-edition-shows-microsoft-how-its-done/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/26/xbox-360-elegant-edition-shows-microsoft-how-its-done/Nov 26th 2009 4:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/26/xbox-360-elegant-edition-shows-microsoft-how-its-done/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/26/xbox-360-elegant-edition-shows-microsoft-how-its-done/Nov 26th 2009 4:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/26/xbox-360-elegant-edition-shows-microsoft-how-its-done/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/26/xbox-360-elegant-edition-shows-microsoft-how-its-done/Nov 26th 2009 4:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/26/xbox-360-elegant-edition-shows-microsoft-how-its-done/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/26/xbox-360-elegant-edition-shows-microsoft-how-its-done/Nov 26th 2009 4:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/26/xbox-360-elegant-edition-shows-microsoft-how-its-done/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/26/xbox-360-elegant-edition-shows-microsoft-how-its-done/Nov 27th 2009 7:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/26/xbox-360-elegant-edition-shows-microsoft-how-its-done/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/26/xbox-360-elegant-edition-shows-microsoft-how-its-done/Nov 26th 2009 4:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/26/xbox-360-elegant-edition-shows-microsoft-how-its-done/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/26/xbox-360-elegant-edition-shows-microsoft-how-its-done/At first I thought you were dissing vintage Marantz.

It depends on where you want to keep it. If you have a room for games then it probably doesn't matter what it looks like, although an appealing design is always a plus. If you want to keep it in the living room then it probably ought to complement the design of you other AV kit.]]>Nov 26th 2009 11:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/26/xbox-360-elegant-edition-shows-microsoft-how-its-done/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/26/xbox-360-elegant-edition-shows-microsoft-how-its-done/

It's not ugly, just bulky and unsophisticated. The PS3 was also bulky but at least it was shiny! The black 360 looks cool enough...
