Review: Hi Jay. When Microsoft went out to find companies to cooperate with on the industrial design issue they contacted dozens of design firms and ended up selecting three. One from the US(Astro Studios?), on from Asia (Hers EDL?) and one from EU(x). I had the opportunity to see the concept models from the third company the other day and I must say that those concepts resembled the final product in suprisingly many ways. Their expression was, in a word, not defined as "inhale" but it sure did have the "hour-glass" shape and the greenish "chill." When talking about the word chill this third company actually based their concept around a block of ice. I am pretty sure that there are aspects of f.ex. grace in the shape in the new Xbox that appeals more to people in Europe than what the 1st generation Xbox did and after seeing the presentation I am convinced that this third design firm had their part in this. If intersted in contacting this third company I'll gladly forward contact info.

Review: Does the Xbox 360 play old games? If it doesn't I'd say that the console would be a large waste of money. I already have 20 original games.

Review: If Flextronics manufactured the XBox then why didn't Frog Design design the XBox?
