May 17 2009XBox 360/Zune Mashup Device Coming?
Is Microsoft working on a device that combines functionality of the XBox 360 and Zune? I don't even know what the hell that would be, but maybe.
The project, codenamed "xYz," is said to feature a WVGA touchscreen and a way to play music and movies on both the device as well as the Xbox 360. Basically, it's going to be a connected handheld gaming system with rich multimedia features.
Eh. Also, "xYz" -- what a horrible codename. I can already think of like a million better ones. Including, and pretty much limited to, "Project Zune Liquidation".

FAKE!!!!
This is a complete photoshop job. You can tell its a fake because the shadow's are all wrong.
This is exactly like that scene in the movie NEver BAck Down where Max found a videogame cassette that wouldn't play, and took it to the gay stop to get the guy to look at it. It turns out it was a classified memory chip in the thing and he needed slap maxwell to help him escape the bad guys.

Daisy... no one ever said thats the real unit, that is an artistic version, kinda like the PSP 2 that 1up did. No reason to get so angry.

FAIL.
xbox has tri-core processor around 2GHZ. Good luck getting that into a handheld.

retarded
16. jaime - May 17, 2009 7:37 PM

One thing I realized about Daisy is that she never really watched Never Back Down. Not because everything she said were not featured in the movie, it's because she keeps mentioning this dude Max who was very unimportant in the movie. Sorta like a step ahead of being an extra. She keeps saying "Max and Baja" yet they were never a couple in the movie. IT WAS "JAKE" who was hooked up to Baja.
I've been deeming of actually watching the movie. And yes! I finally watched it!
I feel so dirty and disgusted at myself now.
So here's the real summary to the movie.
This dude, Jake, was fighting this blonde haired douche in an MMA match. Unfortunately, blonde dude tragically destroyed Jake to the point that Jake was so pissed off and is desperately seeking for a retribution. He trains hard with this black dude and whatnot (MAX was a total b!tch to Jake). The tournament came and both dudes signed up. Blonde douche got DQed. And decided to fight Jake, who was crazy prepared and heavily trained, in an MMA match at the parking lot. Yes, crazzy people ware watching as well. Oh did I forget that Baja was a total groupie to Jake? Well, there you go. Before things got all worse for Jake, he recalls every moment that he encountered through the whole movie. After that, Jake got all pumped up and switches the situation and finally beats blonde-dude. Jake and Baja hooked up at the end. And I was crying and sobbing and whining and hysterical because it was such a beautiful movie.
Best part of the movie: "Crank that Soulja Boy" was the theme song of the movie. Yes, it was that magical.

Project Zune Liquidation"
PWN!!
19. Zunefan - May 18, 2009 12:09 AM
It's actually called the ZuneHD. You can find lots of rumors everywhere, and you have surprised me GW! i thought you would have covered this by now, and at least a bit more thouroughly!

OH MY GOD, WHAT THE HELL IS THAT MONSTROSITY?!?!

Well, I can't really saw anything bad about it. I think it would be a good idea to get new blood in the market for handhelds and I really like my x-box and zune, so if they did team up it would have a better chance at being a good product and getting solid games.

WTF?
Sorry, but I hate this concept. Xbox button in the dpad? Also, think of how painful a portable Xbox dpad will be. I hope they learn how to make one that doesn't suck.
24. MrGutts - May 18, 2009 8:10 AM
@Zunefan
The Zune HD is a completely different unit that is coming out in the Fall.. Just like the damn Zune phone rumors...
25. Andrew T.S. Bedgood - May 18, 2009 12:36 PM
How about Xune... see... it's like XBOX and Zune combined...
26. jacob palmer - May 18, 2009 4:27 PM
does anyone know how much this will cost????
27. cALLmEsTABBY - May 18, 2009 4:52 PM
This is retarded. With the silicon technology out there now, it is impossible to fit the power of an XBOX 360 in such a small package without the transistors in the processors constantly failing.
FAKE, not like it hasn't been stated already...
28. Dr.Death - May 19, 2009 6:02 AM
its just microsofts version to the PSP
29. Dr.Death - May 19, 2009 6:04 AM
it will probable be as fast as the original x-box
the PSP is as fast as a PS2
ths ds is slower than shit but it cant do much so i guess that doesnt really matter
30. Benny Tudino - May 19, 2009 9:21 AM
@17 - Its also possible that this is part of the joke. A couple of months back I seem to remember Daisy actually used scenes from the movie, but assigned the action to Max and Baja regardless of who was in the scene.
And I guess the other part of the joke is she got both of us to watch that terrible movie.
