Portable XBox 360/Zune Phone Concept
« on: June 25, 2008, 11:50:00 AM »

Nice concept, but personally I'd change the following..

1. Black! Gotta be black.
2. Analog stick - without an cleverly designed and slim analog stick, the handheld wont seem any different to older models of handhelds.
3. Shape - I'm hoping it'll look more slick than this.

1) Maybe a black and silver option
2) There is an analog stick...actually theres 2. The 2 circles at the bottom are the analog sticks
3) And if it has all that stuff in it, i'm sure it's going to be pretty thick sad.gif

Didn't microsoft say they arent getting into the handheld market this way?  

I could make an "artist rendition" of anything I want to (maybe a hybrid satellite dish, cell phone and microwave) and say....maybe this will come out one day in the future?

What happens when it RRODs? I'd think heat would be a huge issue would be sweet if they could shrink the 360 that small tongue.gif

Good point to the guy above, that'll be interesting.

I personally think it looks nice. The xbox guide button is in too prone a position to be accidentally pushed too much, but i think the look of the whole unit is quite nice.

And yeah, im remembering its a concept picture, if that.

Personally, if I were leading the design team.. I would-

-Make the left and right side of the screen (where the buttons are) slide out in opposite, respective ways
---- this would keep the size-in-the-pocket down, look more sleek, and appeal more to the masses
---- having of the sides slide out could reveal a camera
-Make the screen a touch screen, appealing to those that like touch screens
---- it'd ride off the fame of current touchscreen devices, like the DS, iPhone, etc
-Make it a little more rounded with a few color options, one of those definitely being a black/gloss black
---- it'd have to be less than an inch thick or else it'd become absolutely unappealing

I'm sure I could think of other stuff, but that's where I'd start if I were to design this thing.

Ah, screw thinness. Xbox is kinda known to be big and bulky anyway, so roll with it! If they made a handheld the size of the old 'duke' controlers.... I'd cut and re-sew the pockets in all my cloths to carry it, cause it's that cool! biggrin.gif Not to mention, personaly I'd rather play something that "fit my hand" and not "fit IN my hand". blink.gif
It would be nice to have SOMETHING xbox that didn't need to be pluged into the wall all the time.

When this thing RROD's, it doubles as a $500 firecracker that you ironicaly throw AFTER it goes off.

Wow - that is awesome!!!  No reason it would run hot...iphones don't and there was a time when it was thought that (technology) couldn't be done, either.
