Xbox Portable – just a dream…or is it?
I saw this on a users profile over at Roosterteeth.com and thought i’d post it seeing as it just seemed like such an awesome concept.
Why settle for a PSP when you could have a screen mounted in an xbox controller. Of course this is never goin to be possible, and this is just a visualisation.
Then over at Hackaday i came across an actual portable Xbox360.
Created by Ben Heck, he stripped down an Xbox360 and built it inside a laptop style casing. So wherever you are, you can lift the lid and play. The version pictured was built using water cooling, but hackaday have a three post tutorial on how to build your own portable xbox360 with a fan based cooling system.
Whilst i have no doubt this is real, and it looks like it works a treat, I still wont be giving this a try though. Too much cost and hard work for something which it really just a fold up screen (which is already on sale)

Unfortunately there’s no indication that xbox will ever release a portable games system.
The controller was Photoshopped as a visual demonstration of how it might work.
The laptop project is real, but i doubt will ever be commercially available, just a project for hackers.
Sorry to dissapoint.
