XBOX IS SH*T! THEY SHOULD RENAME IT TO SH*TBOX

Why all the talk about a system which needs to go back to the drawing board. The 360 is the biggest ripoff...yes they have good games, but to bad they haven't got the console to play them. Maybe they need to call Sony to find out how to build a real console. About them looking alike...yes they do, but that doesn't mean a whole lot as something is going to always look like something else. It's like that in music as well...songs sometimes sound like other songs....it happens.

Xbox 360 sucks its a rip off man i got 4 they all broke so i got a ps3 :]

omg thats so funny

i cant belive how much they look alike


happy christmas

Great reading, keep up the great posts.

Well, it's made by Microsoft computer-thingy guys and computer-thingy guys aren't paid for their imagination, but by their programming. If it was a PS3 beater, which it's not because now everyone knows how shite it is, maybe it would have been even less of a deal.

@xbill - I'm sure Elvis would make a lot of money, were he alive today, but your statement really doesn't make much SENSE.

Don't like my opinions? Don't read my blog.

gary is clearly a ps3 ratloving bastard.Go rub one out.

xbill and xbox sitin in a tree k i s s!!!!!

Brad Kellett, why oh why are you retarted?.........please keep your opinions to yourself.

elvis makes alot of cents

this is old news. the comparisons been made since november when it was released. OLD!

What would an intel box (dell) got to do with a powerpc box (xbox360)???
both are towers and yes, it has a round power button. Wow, that must be like 99.9 % of computer towers out there.

I'm glad someone found out more negative things microsoft has done!

Back when I used to work at Microsoft our test lab was full of those Dell machines. It certainly occured to me that is where the xbox design team got their inspiration.

I think the real question here Elvis, is.. are you still alive? Because we thought you're dead. Maybe you are right, who carez that others peoples work gets ripped off by a huge company, and not a single person notices, not even a "slight", "resemblance" to the original work. Yea, who cares, Elvis? Poser. My point exactly.

This is just stupid.

I think the real question is
who really gives a f***

Dude, you're getting an Xbox 360.

It's just you, **** off you anti-MS *****.

Edit by Brad: Please watch the foul language.

There is also another model just like it. GX-140

Yeah ... i think it's just you.

@Antonio - I hope not...

Its not a huge revelation here, but just goes to show how boring the 360's design really is. I was expecting so much more, though it could have been worse.

Changable faceplates? Puh-leaze...

Oh man. Now that you figured it out, MS is going to have you "disappear".

Ice Ice Baby... I mean Queen.

It's not close enough to call it a ripoff.

You have got to be baked. You know, you may be on to something here. I bet toyota ripped of the design for the CAR from Ford.

Yep its a box about the same size as a mini motherboard. How would you expect Microsoft to package there custom PC. My God, both units have a 'On' buttons, call the lawers, patent infringement.

damn, those are all over my school... I can't believe i didn't nottice (must be b/c they're not upright like that).

I agree with Robert. Think about all of the desktops, monitors, automobiles, and other products that look similar to those made by other companies. Kitchen faucets look the same, but are made by different people. I doubt they are trying to copy Dell, they were just looking for a cool design and came up with that. Purely coincidental.

I blogged about this in November last year, nice to see other people seeing the similarity.

Eek, sorry for getting your name wrong there. Updated.

I have thought this since I looked closer at my school's computer lab PC's.

Since Dell's in bed with Microsoft, I am not surprised that the design is similar.

i did notice that quite a while back, they have those dells at my school

This is not even remotely close to a rip off. Yes, they have the same form factors as engineers are restrained by the components inside. If this is a rip off then most dell towers are a rip off of whoever made the first midtower.

That's interesting, I didn't know that - though I don't see anything Dell to their credit...

You can't blame Microsoft really, as they didn't design it.

There is an article I found here on it:

I guess anything is possible, but I doubt it :)

I read your blog by the way, good stuff.

Oh my god! Can it be a coincidence?

'nuff said :)
