Jeff on the NeoFreaks forum has in his possession an Xbox Portable prototype geared towards XBLA games. Supposedly it will have a 1″ screen, a D-Pad, front button and 2 Rear Buttons.

Ok now that the supposed “technical details” are out of the way, let’s get down to serious matter. Is this Microsoft game gadget real? I say no, it’s a fake. The size is way too small, the D-Pad is almost the same size as the screen and the one, lonely square button is stuck down in the corner. Nice try. The cell cam pics don’t do it any justice either, but maybe that was the whole idea. Someone out there needs to verify the validity of this prototype before I believe in all that is Xbox portable.

*UPDATE: Ah yes of course, “Jeff” on NeoFreaks told a little white lie, but of course. I wouldn’t fall for it anyway. Aeropause reader Peck writes in that this is merely a breakfast cereal prize in Australia:

It’s from an Australian promo. It comes free in 1 of 4 (or something like that) packs of some breakfast cerial’s. If your lucky enough to get a gold one you win a 360.

Thanks, Peck
