X-Box trade dress - looks like a Alien egg. Marketing Error?

The Microsoft Console - the X-Box - is black with a bump in the top - the box shows an X showing an eerie glowing green light coming out of it. It reminds me of the eggs in the Alien films, the way the top of them peel back like and X and shoot out a nasty creature.

This association may just be in my bonce, but I have noticed that its sales have been a touch disappointing. So do you get this association yourself, would it bother you to have an Alien egg in your living room, and other disasterous ad campaigns.

ha, gamecube now 130 quid! that's almost a whole extra game free on the original price. and about 10 on the x-box price.

Fuck 'em both, I've got a PS2 with Grand Theft Auto 3 now, I want for nothing.

"PS2 has no Jet Set Radio = PS2 is poo"

It has Space Channel 5, I saw it in the computer shop yesterday...

Hang on, Jet Set Radio is RUBBISH compared to GTA3. WHy grafitti shit when you can FUCKING EXPLODE IT instead? As for stinky old Zelda, machine guns beat poxy magic swords anyday. So do TANKS AND STUFF as well.

i would like to play jet set radio some time, it does sound intriguing. I've heard Grand Theft is fun, but to me, it involves driving cars = it is RUBBIDGE. Link is THE MAN.
