If Fisher-Price made a portable 360 ...

... we imagine it would look a little something like this. Behold the Xbox 1080, created by one Carl Archambeault. First of all, let's stress that this product is not real. It's a conceptual mock-up, designed to "combine the gaming power of the Xbox 360 and the music and video power of the Microsoft Zune." It doesn't actually work though -- close inspection of the photos will reveal the handmade nature of the device.

As much as we like the idea of having a portable Xbox 360 -- and we're not the only ones -- the design leaves something to be desired. It's a bit largish, for one, and the bubbly aesthetics don't really match the svelte concavity of the Xbox 360. Also, we're not too sure about that toaster pop-up screen either. Still, it's a nice start and, heck, if you could play Halo on it, who cares what it looks like?

I thought the PSP 1000 was big but that shit is HUGE! That would never fit into my pockets.

unfortunately it would probably blow up knowing firstwave microsoft products(think of the original xbox especially)

Not a bad idea, but it seems like it'd be tough to use those thumbsticks and also push the buttons at the right.

He got the stick layout wrong. It's configured like a Playstation controller.

Ha! You are so right. Good thing this isn't real then, Microsoft would have a riot to deal with, possibly an entire apocalypse! Or something of the variation.

The only reason I own an Xbox and not a playstation is because of the stick layout. Easier on my hand (I think). It's the reason I jumped the PS2 ship for an Xbox back in the day and the reason I own a 360 now.

This would be a perfect product for Sony to produce. Think about it. The layout is a Dual-Shock controller's, minus the face button shapes. Give it to a 3 to 5 yr old to play, then let em at an Xbox 360 (or variations afterward...).

They've been lied to!!!

And they will fall ungracefully to a PS3 (or 4, or 5...) and be a natural at it...

AAAARRRGGGHHHH!!!! Think of the madness!!! We gotta stop this madness!!!

***chainsaws the dumbass who modeled this***

***wipes sweat off brow***

Whoo... that was fun... :D
