E3 2005 Xbox 360 Faceplate Giveaway Doesn’t Fit Does Fit

A bunch of special edition Xbox 360 faceplates were given away at E3 2005 as a promotional thing, and I didn’t get one even though I was there the whole time. I could’ve picked one up on eBay but I didn’t feel too desperate. Well it turns it’s a good thing I didn’t get it,…

The Xbox 360 Brick

Our pals at Kotaku are just recovering from the Tokyo Game Show and have some snarky updates worth reading. Among them, a bit of a looksee at an Xbox 360 development prototype that has a huge brick of a power adapter in the back. I noticed the same thing on the nearly-final versions of the…
