Aug 31 2009Is That A Spaceship?: XBox 720 Concept
This is a conceptual design of an XBox 720 by Tai Chiem. Why he assumes that Microsoft is even gonna call the new console the 720 is beyond me. It's not like there was a 180. Maybe they'll call it a 540. Or, if they're really high, the 420. Anyways, I only posted this because it reminds of the spaceship in 'Flight of the Navigator' and that movie is badass. Who else wants one of those little Puckmaren aliens that the kid stuffs into his backpack at the end? I do. Also, Sarah Jessica Parker when she was 21. And no, that's not creepy of me. "See you later, Navigator!"
Hit the jump for several other renderings from different angles.

Thanks to Dan, who suggests they name the new console the XBox Smallpox, cause gameplay is infectious, son!

If you saw that when you broke into someones house you'd straight get out of their, you'd think they were secret alien agents or some shit like that.

@5 What's GTFO?
11. GINORMAGANTUAN - August 31, 2009 10:50 AM
yeah...... not ergonomic enough though......... neat, but not what i want my console to look like..... then again my PS3 is this huge bulky A$$ thing i managed to find space for in my already crowded entertainment center setup. meh........ this thing makes me hungry for some reason
12. Taylored - August 31, 2009 10:51 AM
Yay! more conceptual designs that are purely aesthetic in purpose.
13. HeyHey - August 31, 2009 10:51 AM
yeah, that will look great on one of the shelves in average American tv stand.

Not at all trying to be a grammar obsessed dick (but still coming across as one), I just wanted to help you by letting you know that 'anyways' is not a word. The only correct use of the word is 'anyway'. So, yeah, anyway...
17. peace keepr - August 31, 2009 11:08 AM
that's cool except for the fact that it doesn't stand on the side
18. crus - August 31, 2009 11:08 AM
pretty cool design !
the black and red one remember me the old master system first version hehe

Looks like a really high tech waffle maker!! Right on Microsoft making their way to the cooking industry. I salute you!
20. Alix - August 31, 2009 11:21 AM
I am surprised you have not posted about the tragedy of Marvel being bought out by Disney.....it's a sad day in comic town. :(
21. Mental - August 31, 2009 11:30 AM
I would buy the new xbox just for the desgin, truly never seen a game consle that looked like some thing not from this planet.
22. Ryan - August 31, 2009 11:33 AM
Yeah, the red one is pretty cool.

24. Slymo - August 31, 2009 11:48 AM
The stupidest thing I've ever seen. What the hell is that lump in the middle supposed to contain? UGLY as hell. Form follows function, devices should and will always be box shaped.
25. Mr. cat - August 31, 2009 11:51 AM

26. Danny - August 31, 2009 11:52 AM
When you think about it it looks like a dragon crystal from Dragons Fire & Ice the OP that is.
27. meowmo - August 31, 2009 11:53 AM
as i predicted! GINORMAGANTUAN = man-whore.
28. Blastphemer - August 31, 2009 11:59 AM
Guess they would have to change the name from xBOX to something more "form"-fitting...x-UGO (unidentified gaming object), or sumpn???
29. Cortana - August 31, 2009 12:11 PM
Upgraded from the 360's ability to identify your gaming and video habits, the 720 will report your useage to uncle sambo keeping easy track of what genre of movies you watch, what scenes you enjoy and overall what your psychological make up is. This information will be used to help identify you for advertising as well as to determine how much money you are likely to spend. Also with a new feature your XBL friends can see exactly which scene in any given pron is your favorite and in this regard you can find out exactly who has the same fetishes as you. Also included in the 720 a system of menus making it twice as likely for a child or stranger to the system to purchase XBL credits as before and only half as capable of actually finding the menu listing for PLAY THE DAMN DISC I JUST PUT IN.
30. Tako - August 31, 2009 12:16 PM
The old one looked like a rip off of a PS2, the most popular console, and so naturally the new one should look like a rip off Wii.
I notice it doesnt have any ventilation shafts.
31. Yooarel.com - August 31, 2009 12:30 PM
It's not only terribly ugly, obtuse, and won't fit ANY decor in any normal person's house, but it also has some very, very sharp edges on those metal clamps near what I assume is the power/source button. This thing is a complete disaster and it almost makes me sick to look at it.
Microsoft will DEFINITELY go for it.
32. Chad - August 31, 2009 12:59 PM
@20. geez i just read about that, The only good thing coming to my mind is a videogame like kingdom hearts but with marvel comics, imagine the little mermaid fighting Storm!!
33. Johnny - August 31, 2009 1:04 PM
eww sarah jessica parker in any capacity just eww its like fantasizing about an opposum sick
34. Pat - August 31, 2009 1:07 PM
"Flight of the Navigator" reference FTW!
35. Not FIRST! - August 31, 2009 1:12 PM
@2 – The only thing more lame than typing "First!" is to type it and not get it.
SECOND, SON!!! Number TWO! Dos! Deux! Not One!
36. Milkman - August 31, 2009 1:17 PM
i like the green/silver or red/black, but honestly i think people are more impressed by small size than neato shapes. microsize that sh!t
37. Eskimo Dave - August 31, 2009 1:27 PM
For f's sakes. Some guy WHO DOESN'T WORK AT MICROSOFT drew a picture of what he wishes their next console would look like. This isn't a real product. It's a computer generated image made by some random guy on the Internet. Clearly this isn't what the Xbox 720 is going to look like.
Also, this comment system is complete and utter SH!T!!!
38. -Lmega5- - August 31, 2009 1:31 PM
ugly as fuuuuu....
39. CMK - August 31, 2009 1:31 PM
I think the Xbox 180 should be a handheld system that also explodes. But this time, IN YOUR LAP.
40. Chris - August 31, 2009 2:11 PM
Does this person realize that it's called an x-BOX!? It should be box-shaped!
41. Me - August 31, 2009 2:52 PM
This is the first concept that i have actually liked.... even though it's not real. probably not a good idea for an xbox but still, it looks cool

44. GeekLvr - August 31, 2009 3:26 PM
360 ver. 2 (or 360x2) = Xbox 720 :D
45. supernova_hq - August 31, 2009 3:26 PM
That will look REALLY cool when it bursts into flames!!!
46. Jaz - August 31, 2009 3:36 PM
I thought this was another T-Virus auction.
47. Bri - August 31, 2009 3:45 PM
I would only buy it if it came with the pewpew lasers or it spits the CD out at mach3 when you press eject.
48. mattgDFD - August 31, 2009 5:10 PM
All I am gonna say is that it looks badass enough to make me want it right now. Especially if it contains a blu-ray player.
49. Jaded Icon - August 31, 2009 5:16 PM
@ 37
If you look closely at the comments you're ragging on you would notice that they too also know that this is just a concept. If you put a little more thought into it you would also realize that some of these commenters specially put oblivious postings just to piss you off........or they are just all retards. If that is the case, my bad.
50. ciao - August 31, 2009 5:17 PM
it looks like something I really want to defenestrate. I don't like the design, it looks like a flatten bike helmet.
51. Pedro - August 31, 2009 6:58 PM
Yes GW, I totally want one of those things!
52. XX - August 31, 2009 7:05 PM
He probably named the concept "Xbox 720" because that is one of Microsoft's working titles for the next gen system. The other working title is "Xbox Phoenix".
The Xbox 360 had five different working titles before Microsoft decided on the official title.
53. Free ipod - August 31, 2009 9:49 PM
wait so does this still play xbox 360 games or only gamecube games?
54. Fish Man - August 31, 2009 9:57 PM
@ 10: you just lost 15 internets
that thing looks magical. and i unfortunately have never seen flight of the navigator.
55. Lord JoeySan - August 31, 2009 10:42 PM
If it hovers ill buy it.
56. Sarah - August 31, 2009 10:52 PM
Reminds me of the game systems from eXistenZ
57. Rekluma - August 31, 2009 11:21 PM
Looks like a hospital bed pan....
Is this conceptual artist trying to warn us the next Xbox will be a complete shit?
58. Dinosaur Rex - September 1, 2009 2:07 AM
Ha 420 got it =D

61. JimBean - September 1, 2009 11:33 AM
360 x 2=720 that was the mentality of the name, although Microcrap should cut their wrists and give up.
62. Asmodean - September 3, 2009 8:28 PM
He's calling it the 720 because 360+360=720 ... good job whoever posted the original post. It's basic math ... sheesh. *shakes head*
