The Original Xbox Prototype Looked Like A NASA Project

The original Xbox was not a pretty beast – but neither was the prototype.

In case you didn’t know, today – at least in the US – marks 15 years since the original Xbox launched. The service has come an awful long way, especially if you consider what the original prototypes looked like.

I mean … fuck. That’s a gargantuan beast.

The prototype hardware has been shown in the wild before, but Aaron Greenberg wheeled it out again for a Snapchat story to commemorate the anniversary of the division. And that wasn’t the only toy to come out of the vault:

A prototype Steel Battalion controller from 2002.

I wonder how long it’ll be before someone remodels a version of that for Star Citizen.
