Ik vond net dit artikel op het net. Xbox 1.5 rumours gather speed in Japan Rob Fahey 16:17 03/06/2003 Now less likely to maim small children when falling off tables? A number of Japanese magazines are reporting that Microsoft is moving ahead with plans to release a redesigned Xbox, dubbed "Xbox 1.5", which will come in a significantly smaller case than the original model. Weekly magazine WAM has reported that the new system will be launched alongside the MMORPG True Fantasy Live in Japan later this year - a move which would make sense, given that True Fantasy Live is one of Microsoft's key hopes for invigorating sales of the Xbox in that territory. Also reporting on the new Xbox is respected Japanese games magazine Dorimaga, which speculates that the forthcoming hardware revision is the reason why Japan has not seen an Xbox price cut in the last few months - with the price of the old hardware expected to drop when the new version appears on the market. Many commentators fully expected Microsoft to unveil a revised version of the Xbox hardware at E3, following long-running criticism of the bulky casing of the console. It's not expected that any changes will be made to the internals of the system, however - this is, by all accounts, a purely cosmetic makeover. Bron gamesindustry.biz

Dat zou ik wel top vinden, een kleinere box. Ik neem die van mijn vaak mee naar maten. Zodra die komt istie mine !
Ik ga echt niet een nieuwe doos halen hoor... Maar voor al die mierenneukende Japanners is het misschien hetgene die ze over de streep trekken om ook een Xbox te halen...
