  • wageslaven, on 04/11/2008, -3/+429Hey, nice mustache.
    • buttsakk, on 04/11/2008, -1/+15Free rides?!
    • kurupttek, on 04/11/2008, -1/+32Reminds me of

      • b4db0y, on 04/11/2008, -1/+2I honestly thought I was getting Rick Roll'ed...
    • TalkingBanana, on 04/11/2008, -1/+11I went back to see what you were talking about and lol'd. Dugg.
    • Ouze, on 04/11/2008, -0/+19well, obviously that 360 wants to be discreet about it's acquisition, but badass as well - what better way to achieve both then the burt reynolds look?
      • sexybobo, on 04/11/2008, -1/+6Turd Ferguson?
      • Ouze, on 04/11/2008, -1/+1It's a funny name. Turd Ferguson.
        I disagree.
        Well, that's your opinion.
    • drizzlelicious, on 04/11/2008, -0/+49This digg article should be renamed "xbox 360 has mustache"
    • SadistIntention, on 04/11/2008, -11/+3LOL PIE
    • hammerton1, on 04/11/2008, -7/+5ROFL! I think his 360's name is "Sanchez".
    • AndyStitzer, on 04/11/2008, -1/+3That's in the wrong spot for a mustache
    • yunus, on 04/11/2008, -0/+2You must be that guy who actually realized Futurama was on the TV in the famous internet picture.
  • Panduit, on 04/11/2008, -36/+3I want that mustache inside me.

    Mmm...Rockstar...
  • JDChawk5, on 04/11/2008, -39/+8BitTorrent? Usenet? upload please
  • gapingass, on 04/11/2008, -88/+14UPLOAD THAT ***** YOU DIRTY ASS *****!!
  • Harringstone, on 04/11/2008, -5/+126must....kill.....hookers...
  • vacax, on 04/11/2008, -15/+310Haha, but the last laugh is on the noob without a chrome DVD tray cover.
    • NaziHatinChimp, on 04/11/2008, -19/+14Dude I personally resent that. I prefer to call my console streamlined. It looks better that way.
    • Ashkc88, on 04/11/2008, -9/+5My DVD tray was originally chrome, but when I sent my xbox in for 'repair' the new one they sent back was white. Maybe the same happened to this person?

      ...

      Nah, they're probably just an idiot.
      • underburn, on 04/11/2008, -15/+1Clearly the only idiot is the one who would allow microsoft to send them a downgrade.
        • Ashkc88, on 04/11/2008, -0/+8How is it a downgrade? They are the same console with a little difference in design. It's not like I sent in my harddrive with it and never got it back.
        • AceKicker, on 04/11/2008, -2/+4Ash 1 Underburn 0
      • asdff4, on 04/11/2008, -1/+1Hey man that happened to me too, but I really didn't want to send it back for another month.
    • wontstoptalking, on 04/11/2008, -13/+4"Chrome?" It's shiny plastic. I still don't see the reason. I like the 360 more than the PS3, but one thing I like about the PS3 is that it isn't all plastic on the outside.
      • KNon, on 04/11/2008, -0/+11I carved a PS3 out of stone as well.
      • hmunkey, on 04/11/2008, -4/+5Um, it's some kind of metal. And who gives a ***** what it's made out of? I care about gaming and gaming with friends, which is why I have a 360.
        • AceKicker, on 04/11/2008, -8/+1Oh True! PS3 players HATE gaming and Don't care at all about gaming with friends! Very wise move my friend!

          ...idiot
    • MasterPlayer, on 04/11/2008, -3/+11Probably a debug kit.
      • endlessoul, on 04/11/2008, -2/+6Wouldn't doubt it. The green LEDs look odd, too. Almost like a different shade.

        Oh, and BTW, this is fake. The Xbox 360 logo on top is off center to the left and the image on the disc is obscured by the center hole. That wouldn't happen on a retail disc.
        • 1807, on 04/11/2008, -1/+3While I do agree with your statment, I just want to point out the fact that because the disks are mass producted, not every copy will be pefect. Like have you ever compaired a CD you own with a copy your friend owns? I have and sometims they're cd art is a little darker or lighter or off center. Just saying these things do happen.
        • CarzorStelatis, on 04/17/2008, -0/+1Also the significant gap at one side of the disc
      • namelessXsilent, on 04/11/2008, -0/+8xbox debug kits are black.
        • Yareking, on 04/11/2008, -8/+4Something rong with black? YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH BLACK?
    • cambob76, on 04/11/2008, -2/+1What are you guys talking about? Are non-chromes old versions that suck ass?
      • bparrish, on 04/11/2008, -1/+4non-chromes are the core edition without hard drive and it only came with a wired remote, chrome was the premium edition that included the hard drive and a wireless remote..i think the premium may have included hi-def cables as well
        I got stuck with the core as I got the 360 on launch day, and they only had 2 premiums..i was 3rd in line..i was still able to buy the hard drive separately, it was just a little cheaper if you had gotten it with the premium (chrome) 360
        • sardiax, on 04/11/2008, -0/+6The arcade version - which comes with a wireless controller and a 256mb card for ~$280, also has the white cover. It doesn't come with high-def cables, but it does come with an hdmi port which the launch premiums were without.
    • praisethelard, on 06/06/2008, -0/+6Mine has chrome, but I'd actually prefer the white plastic as the chrome gets smudgy.
    • 42Vindictive, on 04/11/2008, -2/+9The chrome is cheap and looks like *****.
    • jakewho, on 04/11/2008, -1/+0chrome is the new not-chrome.
  • izzyb412, on 04/11/2008, -74/+195That's a fake. All new Xbox Games have 'Live' on the disc instead of 'Xbox Live'. Check any new game if you don't believe me. Good fake, but not real I'm afraid. Plus retail copies of the discs have only just entered production.
    • hokeywebb22, on 04/11/2008, -10/+76What are you talking about? My Halo 3, Call of Duty 4, Guitar Hero 3, and Mass Effect have it.
    • luke16, on 04/11/2008, -15/+55I just looked my copy of Call of Duty 4, It has the exact same layout as this and has 'Xbox live', not just 'live' like you said.
      It even has the exact same hologram as the one pictured. If this is a fake, it's a damn good one.

      • estvir, on 04/11/2008, -0/+15Call of Duty 4 also came out MONTHS ago and does not have the new branding.
      • ArkAngel06, on 04/11/2008, -0/+3As said, look at Rainbow 6 Vegas 2.....It just says "live".
    • waterdrop, on 04/11/2008, -29/+21I just checked all of my Xbox 360 games (8 in all), and they all say "Xbox Live" on the disc as the above people have mentioned. Get your facts straight.
      • estvir, on 04/11/2008, -2/+28Are you illiterate? He said NEW games. Go have a look at Condemned 2 or something.

        Get YOUR facts straight.
    • kinseyincanada, on 04/11/2008, -1/+19it's the brand new ones like only weeks old, check something that came out last week, maybe Condemned 2
    • buckdog05, on 04/11/2008, -9/+2http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://bp0. ...
    • total1337ness, on 04/11/2008, -11/+2You sir are an idiot.
    • CurtisL, on 04/11/2008, -12/+0How do you figure it just went into retail production? Do you think they could manufacture tens of millions of copies within a few weeks?
      • Spyder810, on 04/11/2008, -0/+13Yes, they can manufacture discs that fast...its the distribution of the discs to retailers that takes time.
    • piepanz, on 04/11/2008, -0/+51He's right:

      Newer game (Condemned 2) : http://i17.ebayimg.com/04/i/000/e8/b4/8fb5_1.JPG
      Older game (Halo 3) : http://i5.ebayimg.com/07/i/000/e6/f9/f403_1.JPG

      Notice the difference with the headers. It's a fake.
      • Psythik, on 04/11/2008, -4/+1So is that Halo 3 disc. Mine looks nothing like that (there's only the Halo 3 logo in a black background).
        • Ashkc88, on 04/11/2008, -0/+5My Halo 3 disc looks like that. It's the standard version.
        • AmICoolNow, on 04/11/2008, -0/+4You have the special edition, I think. There are different disks.
    • RAEP, on 04/11/2008, -1/+11assuming that the covers are the same as the discs themselves, even Vegas 2 has the aforementioned "live" printed on it.
      http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/f/f4/Tcrb ...
      Sorry kiddies, but he is right. Notice how he says "new xbox games". Halo 3 isn't that new.
    • nyyg, on 04/11/2008, -1/+6Check out Dark Sector. Released March 25th, 2008, it has the Xbox Live tag.
      http://img136.imageshack.us/my.php?image=847f1wz7. ...

      So, it doesn't look like it's true for all games.
    • Tiptup300, on 04/11/2008, -4/+1Erm, I have darkSector and ARMY OF TWO, both say XBOX LIVE on them...
    • tfarris, on 04/11/2008, -12/+1Yea you are a retard.. all my games say xbox live on them.. this is prob genuine gta disk
      • ahale97, on 04/11/2008, -1/+8Sometimes i want to punch stupid people in the head but then i remember they can't help the way they are.
    • Shawn4168, on 04/11/2008, -0/+12I agree that it's a fake. It's really poor design to make a CD label so that a person's face is obscured by the hole in the CD. I'm calling shenanigans on this one.
      • Tayls, on 04/11/2008, -0/+3Yeah! Why did no one else say that? The design is horrendous, but everyone is jealous? Totally fake...and lame.
    • aelias, on 04/11/2008, -1/+3Shopped....seen....few....pixels....meh.
    • LouisMarlowe, on 04/11/2008, -3/+0You'd be ***** wrong then mate!
    • Ramenamen, on 04/11/2008, -1/+0Sounds like it's certain games. This could or could not be a fake.
    • crashingechelon, on 04/11/2008, -0/+2This may just be new cover art that they just made in the past month that just say Xbox360 Live across the whole top of the disc instead of Xbox360 | Xbox Live. I do kinda like the just one phrase across like newer disks have.
    • cheeseefungu, on 04/12/2008, -2/+1A game developer chooses what he wants on his disk. And besides, this could be a developers edition that he made for himself and for friends/ whoever. And also for Shawn4618 whatever, ganes dont need to have a perfect pic of a person on them to make it real.
    • techobo, on 04/24/2008, -1/+1Soooo, I work at Blockbuster in Canada. The game has been sitting in the back room for over a week.
  • doshindude, on 04/11/2008, -8/+54Who ***** cares? it's most likely that a lot of people have the game by now, developers usually hand them out to certain people. the game comes out in like, 2 weeks anyway.
    • MillionsLivio, on 04/11/2008, -7/+13I had Halo 2 a month before it was officially released, it happens quite a lot.
      • punkcat, on 04/11/2008, -2/+33i had gonorrhea months before any of my friends.
        • Matteos, on 04/11/2008, -14/+3I had your mother weeks before your friends.
        • DeathRay2K, on 04/11/2008, -1/+11Poorly done Matteos, the correct way of adding a 'your mom' joke is:
          I had your mother months before she had you.
        • GeekyGerge, on 04/11/2008, -2/+1I'm sorry about that...
    • wicketr, on 04/11/2008, -0/+1Yea, i don't understand why everyone is calling "fake" when it doesn't even matter. Who cares. I'm sure people out there higher up have legitimate copies or preview copies. I haven't heard one definitive reason why this IS fake, only theories. And the fact is, it doesn't matter either way.
  • Atom, on 04/11/2008, -4/+50Wouldnt surprise me if this was real. Developers do have families and personal consoles...
  • NaziHatinChimp, on 04/11/2008, -8/+4So Link is playing GTA before all of us? Irony.
  • coachmcguirk, on 04/11/2008, -1/+239or he has a disk cover printer...
  • gameyharp, on 04/11/2008, -1/+10http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/2008/04/10/someone-ha ...
  • foshaug, on 04/11/2008, -14/+3Kevin?
  • gameyharp, on 04/11/2008, -1/+6Negative.
  • SteveThePlank, on 04/11/2008, -7/+16Oh great, it's the Halo 3 release all over again...
    • tonyscha, on 04/11/2008, -4/+10But better
      • Matt174e, on 04/11/2008, -2/+3And actually a different game than the previous titles.
      • TastyLamp, on 04/11/2008, -0/+1To be fair, nobody has really seen the game (other than reviewers who could have been bought) so we don't know if it's not a letdown like Halo 3.
    • nobelief, on 04/11/2008, -2/+3I'd love to continue the hate train, but I actually played the game :)
      • garvallagh, on 04/11/2008, -0/+3I actually shot a man in Reno..... jus....
  • gkrat, on 04/11/2008, -14/+1Shopped.
  • DeviantDragon, on 04/11/2008, -8/+48How the hell is this newsworthy?
    • punkcat, on 04/11/2008, -0/+8its not, thats why we have the innanet.
    • TastyLamp, on 04/11/2008, -0/+3Newsworthy ≠ Diggworthy :(
      • CarzorStelatis, on 04/17/2008, -0/+1Dugg for letting me know the "does not equal" character has been computerised :P
  • bcroghan, on 04/11/2008, -2/+219it has to be fake, there is no way that Rock Star would just cut off that chicks face
    • krische, on 04/11/2008, -0/+21That's what I was thinking. Rockstar is usually one with a keen attention to detail.
    • mrfreeziexp, on 04/11/2008, -2/+14Yeah, it's really crappy looking..
    • LouisMarlowe, on 04/11/2008, -1/+1However there is more attention towards her bust.
    • ZombieKiss, on 04/11/2008, -0/+2Agreed. No designer is his right mind would have sent that up for production -- it looks poorly made, obviously the idiot who made this fake didn't think game companies cared how their discs looked...
      • CarzorStelatis, on 04/17/2008, -0/+1You don't think it could have been an early prototype?
  • ryan83189, on 04/11/2008, -4/+5*****, the label isn't centered, the disk is oblong or something got 'shopped.
    • bobbybebob, on 04/11/2008, -4/+1thats because of the angle of the camera.
      • CarzorStelatis, on 04/17/2008, -0/+1Er... what does the angle of the camera have to do with the fact that there's about a quarter inch of disk not covered by the label?
    • ihlemic10, on 04/11/2008, -0/+1I think its fake also. No Microsoft logo on the disk which all genuine Xbox disk have.
      • bobbybebob, on 04/11/2008, -1/+0The genuine xbox logo, is the thing in the center of the disk. Its on there.
  • TheWorm, on 04/11/2008, -4/+15I'm counting down the days until the GTA IV release, but If this makes it to the front page I will have lost my faith in humanity.
  • dvsbastard, on 04/11/2008, -4/+27I am inclined to believe it is real... only because I did a quick GIS (looking for some of the older discs) and this showed up:
    http://img161.imageshack.us/img161/8803/gta4discwh ...

    Is it more likely that there are two very convincing fakes using the same art... or that they are both real?!

    (P.S. Rehosted: http://i29.tinypic.com/9k35fn.jpg)
    • DubbleA, on 04/11/2008, -0/+20How does your tinypic URL actually work if there is an ending parenthesis included in it?
    • Pureeviljester, on 04/11/2008, -1/+2360 has an extra warning above the mature rating..

      someone compare them and tell me if they notice a difference with the shirt wrinkle to the right of the hole on the ps3 and to the bottom right of the hole on the 360, it looks different to me
    • gamerzworld, on 04/11/2008, -1/+3That's been confirmed to be fake.
    • bialia, on 04/11/2008, -1/+0the ps3 one was likely used as a reference anyway, fake or not
    • TexasMd91, on 04/11/2008, -0/+3Its because tinyurl uses an .htaccess file to get to the right content you need, its just a $_GET[] and it ignores the extension (after the .htaccess)

      They make it ignore the extension because forums go by extension type to see if it will allow the image to display, so if it doens't end with a normal extension type then it won't work.
    • carlonchox911, on 04/11/2008, -0/+2That PS3 one is fake.. a guy on deviantART made it and printed it on a CD.. he even links to it on his post
  • BeeArePro, on 04/11/2008, -19/+3Master Chief Dies.
  • mrfreeziexp, on 04/11/2008, -6/+1has this game even gone gold yet?
    • Quicksilver4648, on 04/11/2008, -1/+2Yes. The game release in about 18 days. It takes more then that amount of time to pass certification, burning, printing, and shipping worldwide. Halo 3 took about a month to be 100% ready for release day.
  • ANT1138, on 04/11/2008, -6/+48fake. show me a video where he shows the disk, then closes the tray, and then shows gameplay. without cuts. then i'll believe it.
  • InuX, on 04/11/2008, -4/+3If it is real, He/She better leak it :D
  • ginestony, on 04/11/2008, -6/+1Nice boobs FTW
  • noseeme, on 04/11/2008, -3/+34OMG! Let's all digg something that would be incredibly easy to fake!
  • P1um, on 04/11/2008, -1/+2I'm jealous
  • jo21, on 04/11/2008, -8/+7whats i find amusing is that the xbox "is" working... for now.
  • eyesmell, on 04/11/2008, -6/+3When I see it, will i ***** brix?
    • altosaxon, on 04/11/2008, -1/+5Bricks that blend while Rick Rolling your Om nom nom nom.... Idiot!
  • Typhoon2009, on 04/11/2008, -2/+2I think someone's also gonna lose his job at GameStop...
    Also, shouldn't the disc feature Niko?
    • machocheese34, on 04/11/2008, -0/+1GTA discs usually show chicks, my guess is it gonna be that girl with the lollipop
      • MrFloppay, on 04/11/2008, -0/+0San Andreas had the sexiest chick... Big Smoke
    • Ramenamen, on 04/11/2008, -0/+0It's typically a supporting character of some kind.
  • jiggidy, on 04/11/2008, -2/+4What's with the perve-stache? Is this xbox in some elementary school, luring kids with a fake GTA4 disk?
  • NDfan0788, on 04/11/2008, -3/+10Sweet 'stache on the 360 at least...
  • Mfrosty, on 04/11/2008, -3/+1He also has a working xbox even more strange! (mine broke on monday, co workers last week, neighbors today).
  • AndrewDB, on 04/11/2008, -3/+6It's fake, take a look how the sticker lays on the CD, it's off center, and doesn't even lay straight.
    • cjmal, on 04/11/2008, -0/+5exactly what I was thinking. the graphic designers wouldnt be so stupid as to place the character where the damn hole on the disc is.
  • Yeknom, on 04/11/2008, -3/+3Nudes or it never happened...
  • Destroyman, on 04/11/2008, -0/+6Your 360 came with a Mustahce?! Lucky...
  • sandman02, on 04/11/2008, -10/+0xbox and your petty dvds.... get up with the next format, brd!
  • Harabeck, on 04/11/2008, -10/+1Call me when someone gets a pre-release copy of a game that doesnt derive its fun factor from "zomg I get to shoot at cops and screw hookers kekeke!!!!1".
  • zonk3r, on 04/11/2008, -0/+41Someone has a copy... of Photoshop. And a disc labeler.
  • poopbawls, on 04/11/2008, -0/+18gameplay or it didn't happen.
  • ThePeacemaker02, on 04/11/2008, -0/+1It could just be someone from within the company.
  • Goldennova, on 04/11/2008, -2/+16Why the hell does this have so many diggs? It is a picture of a disk. It's not amazing. Screenshots would be something else, but come on. It's just a ***** disk!
  • mizatt, on 04/11/2008, -8/+1I'm pretty sure that the xbox version is supposed to come on multiple discs. I don't see where it says "disc 1" or anything of the sort on there. To me, that says it's either a fake or the xbox 360 version will only have one disc (that'd be great news).
    • prnybk, on 04/11/2008, -5/+2STFU multiple discs GTFOH

      1 Disc homie just like the PS3 version
      stop reading rumor blogs of ps3 fan boys lmao
      • sgregory416, on 04/11/2008, -2/+3yo "home dog" dont be trippen, its onley one disk but yall dont gotta get up in his grill "g" calm down dude jesus.
  • AppleGeorge, on 04/11/2008, -10/+5New Xbox games say "Live" on them instead of "Xbox Live". I really doubt this game would have the old label. Nice fake.
    • AppleGeorge, on 04/11/2008, -6/+3Sweet. Getting dugg down for stating that it's not real, but alright. Let's all digg me down because it's not ***** real.
      • Swarms, on 04/11/2008, -0/+9Getting dugg down because you didn't read the comment above that said the exact same thing and has 10 replies.
        • AppleGeorge, on 04/11/2008, -5/+2Ah, I didn't realize everyone read every single comment out of 200 before replying for themselves.
        • Swarms, on 04/11/2008, -0/+4Not every one, but maybe the first 5 (Or 8 if you don't have any buried). See, that keeps the comments from being cluttered with repetetive ***** like "Old" or "Fake"....or people like you pointing things out that someone has already said. If you don't read the comments, how do you know every single person above you didn't say the exact same thing?
          Anyway, I wasn't flaming you, I was just pointing out why (I think) you were being dugg down since you asked.
          • AppleGeorge, on 04/11/2008, -3/+2Yeah, I don't always read what has been said above, atleast not all the time. Also, the comments seem to randomly be sorted differently every time I log in. Not sure if it's a bug or what, but right now they came up all sorted by most diggs, even though I have ti set as -3 or higher.

    • zanderw00t, on 04/11/2008, -2/+7Since when has digg been about changing people's life?

      If it is, it's done nothing but ruin mine.
