Hello there folks. I've decided to open up this new contest in an attempt to bring some life to a once-great community. The object of this contest is to design your own Next Generation Gaming console. Entries can be made with any program, whether it be paint, photoshop, 3ds max, or whatever, It just needs to be entered! You can use anything for inspiration as long as you don't make an already existant system. The contest will end June 24th! I will have a designated team of judges that will judge on 3(three) categories for each Image. The three categories are Creativity, Usage, and looks, so make sure you put a lot into this console.

There are no restrictions for this contest, except that your console can't already exist. You're images can be as small or large as you want, but make sure they're detailed :)

Prizes
1st Place : Completely Custom IPB Skin for 2.1.X
2nd Place : Completely Custom Web Template

Yea, there are only 2 places to win, so make sure it's good!

Head on over to Zero Designz to enter now!

If you wanna do an update, I doubt any consoles after the latest will use memory cards. With the inevitable appearance of extremely cheap harddrives theres no reason not to include one in a console.

(I don't have the time to do my own so I'm throwing my ideas at other people.)

Thanks for you interest Gofthick.

Your entry is fine. But it won't be entered unless you post it on the Zero Designz forums. When you post it, be sure to include as much detail about the functionality, the plugs and everything.

Again, the link is http://www.zerodesig...hp?showtopic=28

The website forum is down. It's been down for awhile. The admin should fix it.

P.S. The competition is "next-gen" consoles, not "previous-gen". That being said, good graphic work. So far Dirk Black has the best one in my opinion. :)

P.S. number 2: I might make a console. Not to enter, just for fun.
