Xbox 360 name confirmed; console design details revealed.

British sources have confirmed that the next generation Xbox is indeed called Xbox 360, that the logo is a simple, round nexus, and that the console itself has a concave design - and a platinum white finish.
The name of Xbox's successor is Xbox 360, we can confirm, and the design of the machine is indeed a concave shape.
The machine can stand upright and hollows in at the middle, like it's "sucking in its cheeks," our source told us today. Previous rumours had put the console as light silver, although fresh information says the final design may be white. It's impossible to tell from the documents, our source explained - although the glimpse of the machine's controllers given on viral marketing website OurColony does suggest a platinum-white colour scheme for the hardware.

The above quote confirms some of the images that have been floating around the internet of a white controller. Whether or not they are real or fake, it is interesting how this is falling together.
Microsoft also stated that it will unveil the Xbox 360 on MTV on Thursday, May 12. The system is expected to be released around October/November and I suspect it will have a price around $500. I'm just guessing at the price, but most consoles are launched around that price and anything more than that would be costly. An ideal price range would be a $300-400 price, but we will have to wait and see. Hopefully a price will be announced at E3 along with the rest of the information everyone is begging for. I would love to goto this year's E3, but plans on moving conflict with the time frame.
