Actually, try about a year or so; Benjamin Heckendorn has cracked the seal on the Xbox360, (along with the Gamecube and some other consoles) as can be heard on his podcast.

I dont think it would be that hard, its the heatsink that would stop you. Because this thing puts out a lot of heat compared to the first Xbox. Theres a couple of screens Ive been looking at that are in the 7" range. And for the controler you can use a wired one and it allready uses a laptop drive.. So if you can get passed the heat then everything else should be easy..

Leave it to Dave, in other words. Expect it after his N64p and GCp.

I guess we'll have to see on this.

I don't think it'll take 5 years.

I really think it might take maybe 3 years or 4, cause look at the xbox (1), it came out when, 2002? and just recently was a portable version made, so think about it: 2002-2006=4 years. it might take even longer seeing as the hardware is larger maybe. Look at the article ben put in his site on game spy, there is a photo of a 360 MB and it seems quite large especialy that big block that it think is the heatsink.

the heat issues not too bad: use water cooling this may sound crazy but its the only was he thing wouldnt melt in your hands...but the bigger issue is power it draws like 5 whole amps!

Just get a li-poly and blow your hands off.

less than one year, because ben's probably working on it as the portable that people would never believe, as he's opened a 360 already and I can't think of any reason he would do that otherwise to consider portableizing (Unless, of course, he felt like 'chipping' it, but there are no 360 modchips...)
