Xbox 360 revealed!

Check out the fine boys in green over at TeamXbox.com, and the recently revealed picts of Xbox 360.

The top two picts are new, and the third is the leaked pict from the ourcolony.net shenanigans.

The second and third picts may be showing the port for a removable hard drive.

But check this front shot. Notice there are two memory unit slots on the box itself (rather than on the controllers themselves). Also, note what looks like a single port for a wired controller. This could lend credence to the idea that the new Xbox could support wireless controllers out of the box. It could indicate Microsoft is thinking of something along the lines of the PS2 multi-tap (which would suck, but does make a compelling additional revenue stream. It could mean both; seriously, you think you're not going to give an option to support multiple legacy wired controllers (assuming legacy controllers are supported at all).

Of course, this could be the IR eye, but I think it's a controller port.

Gonna be an interesting couple of weeks ...
