Behold: The Xbox 360 Portable

[ChromeAlchemist]

Quick question: can Microsoft sue this guy?
Or at least justify writing him an angry letter?

I've seen a lot of mods of wii's and Nintendo Praise them. They even put the picture in their Nintendo Power. I'm Sure Microsoft aren't jerks when it comes to creativity.

Nope, they're just thieves ;3

I think they will take on that idea, and that guy would (and legally shouldn't) get any praise or money from it. I actually see no reason for them to not do this.

I'll admit it looks cool and that there is probably some truly awesome craftsmanship involved in making it, but even with that I fail to see the point of making a portable Xbox 360, and even less of actually buying one.

I mean why bother, the thing is higly unlikely to run without an external power source and that screen looks painfully small to use for gaming. Why not rather somehow attach the 360 to say a 42" plasma TV in some über cool way?

This guy's a genius and I now want one of dem.

"Dear Santa..."

 

[stompy]

How long do you guys think it'll take till someone buys this bugger off?

As I said upthread (it pays to read the whole thread, y'know) my bet would be that he's trying to avoid herniating himself while trying to hump a 42" plasma/console combo to a LAN. Think of it as an uber gaming laptop... it's not like you play one of those things on battery power (for more than half an hour, anyway).

This is made of 100% pure, unadulterated awesome. This guy deserves some kind of medal.

 

[Bagaloo]

That's the sexiest machine I have ever seen.

Ben Heck is a crazy mastermind.

He's the kind of guy who could probably mod a PS3 into a death-ray gun and take over the world with it.

The guy made a portable 360 before the Wii even came out, I guess this is a newer model.

 

[Mookie_Magnus]

How much does one of these buggers cost?

It's gonna suck when this thing red rings.

This is a classic example of you being a ASS. If you wish to rag on the 360, do so elsewhere(aka where the next PS3 vs. 360 thread pops up). I don't mean to be impolite, but you contributed nothing to the discussion.

This has been out for awhile, but I'm glad to see it pop up on the Escapist. God, I'd love to possess one of these machines. then again, I might get even less done then I do now... The only thing I have to wonder at is the battery life of this thing. How long does it last?

I would buy this over an normal xbox, Imagine being able to play oblivion and get mods on your xbox

How do you know that isn`t what he`s doing right now?

the more you think about those red rings, why would they put them in maybe it was intentional to piss us off with red rings of doom, i mean windows did have the blue screen of death problems

i just hope a portable xbox doesnt come out liek the psp or the DS i dont wanna have to get one or listen to people argue about which is better like the ps3-360 war x.x

 

[Sporky111]

That thing is pretty damn awesome. I wonder if a Wii would take kindly to a remake like that. The motion controls would be hard to replicate, but it would be so worth it.

 

[Simalacrum]

now, i'm a PS3 fanboy and i hate the 360, but thats pretty damned cool lol

no I am just saying it would suck if he sold it on ebay and then it red rings. You can't send to Microsoft and the unless you built it you prob don't know how to fix it and that guy could charge you whatever he wanted to fix it so yes it is goingto suck when it red rings so f*3k off

 

[Aptspire]

damn!
can't he sell the blueprints so more people may enjoy this piece of art?
