Recently Sony announced the upcoming PS2 upgrade named PSX. Now it is rumoured that the challenger Microsoft Xbox is getting a facelift too.
No technical details of the "Xbox 1.5" is available, but according to the source it would be significantly smaller than the initial version. Indeed the first generation Xbox is quite big, and definitely not very good looking or stylish. As game consoles are turning into media centers and used in peoples’ living rooms, the design issues are more and more important.
Personally I think there is no doubt that the 1.5 will also have technical improvements, since Microsoft can’t afford to lag behind Sony in it’s struggle to grab a significant market share in the gaming industry.
