Microsoft: Portable Xbox Device is Coming

It's just a matter of time before a mobile Xbox device becomes available. That's the word from Microsoft corporate vice president Shane Kim, who dropped the bombshell in an interview with game-enthusiast site Kikizo. Kim, a major player in Microsoft's Xbox program, made the statement toward the end of a wide-ranging chat with Kikizo's Adam Doree, who asked how the Xbox brand might extend into the mobile-gaming arena.

Unfortunately this idea does not originate from Microsoft them selves
Some time ago, in fact almost soon after the Xbox 360 came out a guy by the name of Benjiman J Heck famous a console modder came up with the idea of making the Xbox 360 portable and the form of a laptop, The Official Blog of Benjamin J Heckendorn

That. Is. F***king. AWESOME. I need to show my friend that link..... :sarc:

I personally think the 1st xbox 360 laptop was the best although it had its flaws The Official Blog of Benjamin J Heckendorn revision 5 no linger has a keyboard and i liked that in the original but not so much in the second version
