Original XBOX dashboard prototype called "FROG" that was pitched during console development (2001)

No, the design options came from Frog Design. Looks like they were the consultants during the Xbox development.

that looked more for the 360 somehow, and the final released was amazing is a shame that as usual microslop with every product that is not windows, they manage to make it epic and even better than the competitors just to either abandon support afterwards or treat it like crap...

See some inspirations for the 360 designs

What's crazy is that it's one of the consoles that came out after the world changed forever.

FROG is such a wild what if for the original Xbox. I love seeing these early dashboard ideas. The green X era still hits hard.

There’s just something about old stuff that… Has this genuinely eerie, yet nostalgic feel to it. It’s nice. :)

Glad they went with what we have now

Xbox live could've been XZONE 😭😭😭

This looks like the Xbox your employer would issue you.

“Memory” gets a main-menu spot alongside Games and Music in both of these layouts. That is a practical detail worth keeping: when you need room for a save, the place to manage storage is already in sight.

The DAYS 💛🔥🔥🔥🔥

Funny to think the first boot-up could have looked totally different from that green X we all got. Love seeing the early ideas. #retrogaming #Xbox #gaming #2000s #nostalgia #retrogames
