New And Improve




Just like the Xbox 360 the Xbox one also comes with a nice new sleek controller. The successor to the Xbox 360 controller has some slight modification, but nothing too drastic. Instead of a bulging half sphere in the middle of the controller like in the original Xbox 360 controller the Xbox logo now lies flat on the top of the controller.

Also a nice matter black is used as a finish, but accent pieces of shiny black plastic are used for the top portion of the controller. This fits in perfectly with Xbox One console since the console itself also uses a combination of both a shiny black finish and a matte black finish. The controller also seems to have straighter lines and fewer curves. It was the exact opposite for the original Xbox 360 controller. That controller had a lot more curves to fit with the curve of the 360 console. In a way you can say that the straight lines of the Xbox One controller also fit perfectly with the console straight sleek design. So far I also like the design of the controller. I don’t think I would change anything about it at all.

We Come Full Circle




We have come for circle. Earlier in my blog I talked about the Xbox 360 and its design. This is the Xbox One the successor to the Xbox 360 and just launched a couple of weeks ago.

Not only is the console different from a technical aspect, but it also looks amazing too. The lines are very clean and the shape is very geometric with a touch of class to it. It really does remind me of a modern piece of art. You might not be able to notice from the point of view, but their console is designed with a crisscross. Diagonally on one end of the console is shiny sleek cover and on the other end they used a more dull or matte black. This creates interest as the console won’t look as if it one single black shiny piece of plastic or one big matte piece of plastic. Also notice the Xbox Logo on the far right front of the console. It actually lights up when the console is on. It’s a very nice little touch. The use of black is also a smart choice as well.

Most speakers and T.V. are also black in color and since this console is advertise as an entertainment hub it would blend in perfectly with the other two pieces of entertainment equipment. This console cost millions to design from both a technical and artistic stand point. I would not change a single thing about how the console looks. It’s very sleek, very modern and just overall fits into your home entertainment area perfectly.
