Not everyone has to wait around to hear details of Microsoft’s sexy new Xbox 360—and now, thanks to Kotaku, neither do you.
多謝了KOTAKU，現在大家不必再等就可以一窺微軟全新誘人XBOX 360的細節，當然，您也不必再等囉∼

An exclusive Kotaku source has revealed a bevy of facts about the next-generation console set to rock the Xbox world.
一位KOTAKU的獨家消息來源揭露了許多關於這部次世代主機足於撼動XBOX世界的實況。

The original Xbox was a manly chunk of square black-and-green plastic meant to win over a generation of hardcore male gamers.
為了要說服此世代以男性為主的遊戲玩家，XBOX的原形機是一部粗獷的黑綠塑膠方塊

The Xbox 360° will be about winning over gamers of all persuasions, with a customizable look and a kindler, gentler Circle of Light marketing campaign.
XBOX 360將以客製化的外型，搭配一個具行銷目的的柔和發光圓商標來說服所有的玩家

Our Cali source says that the console is a sleek silver device worthy of countertop display, and features an inhaled design that turns the harsh angles of the original Xbox into sweeps and curves. The device will also be able to stand upright or on it’s side, much like the Playstation
我們在加州的消息來源說，這部主機是一部可搭配桌上型顯示器（指LCD或電漿TV）的光滑銀色主機，採用吸入式設計， XBOX原形機粗糙的角度全都變成圓滑的曲線，且他也像PS2一樣可以橫立或側立。

The side of the 360° is dominated by an oversized, back-lit power button called the ring of light, and the rest of the case can be customized with colorful designer face plates that pop on and off. The 360°s dashboard will also be customizable, making each console a thing totally unique to its owner.
360的邊緣是以一個叫做”光環”的超大背光電源按鍵為主，外殼的其他部分可以應顧客需求採用經過專人設計的流行彩色面版。360的操作面版也是可以依客戶需求訂製的，整部主機就像是專門為主人量身定做一樣。

Some of the inner workings of the 360° have also been confirmed. The device will feature high definition audio and video and wireless controllers, and will come in two flavors—one with a hard drive and one without. The biggest shock is that while Microsoft wants to make their 360° backwards compatible, they haven’t yet been able to pull it off.
部分360的內部架構已經確定了。他將搭配高解析度影音的播放能力以及無線搖桿，並且也會推出兩種規格-有內建硬碟與無內建硬碟。最大的震撼是雖然微軟想讓360能向下相容，但他們目前似乎還無法做到。

“They’re working on it,” said our inside source.
消息來源說，”他們正致力於在向下相容性上”
I wasn’t able to get any pictures of the 360°, but Gizmodo’s Joel was kind enough to do a mock-up of it’s face plate for us.
我無法拿到360的任何照片，但Gizmodo 的Joel好心的做了一個面版模型給我們。

Stay tuned for more next-generation revelations.
別轉台，還有更多消息喔！
