XB Elegant Edition is a case for your Xbox 360 that actually makes it look like a box. A high-end A/V component, if you will. That weird letter I/pillar/pillow-looking thing not cutting it for you? Maybe this Sweedish-designed box will help things out.

Inside the futurist box is three 120mm fans to keep your system from red ringing, and they say that the larger open area keeps airflow constant and helps limit some of the noise. You'll have to do a bit of modding if you want this look, though:

They say: "Use the case your own risk, the Xbox360 warranty is voided once you break the seals to open up the case. The case's warranty will only cover the chassis itself, and will not include the Xbox 360 or any of its associated components."

No price is given on this box from Industrie Pro yet. I think it manages to look both sleek and boring at the same time.

Xbox 360 fanboys may want to look away now, because this is not pretty. A girl who is either crazy, bad at acting, or both, smashes her boyfriend's Xbox 360 to pieces because he spends ten hours a day on it and ignores her. Apparently this is a lesson to all us "gaming addicts." You have been warned.

Fake or not, it's worth watching just for how stupid it is. She also swings a golf club like an infant. If she really wanted to break it, she'd have used a man's weapon, like a broadsword, a meteor hammer or a tiger. Silly females. They know nothing.

Anyway, not a lot's happening this morning, so have a really dumb video to look at.

Guitar Hero 6 development is already well underway, despite the fact that it hasn't officially been announced. How do we know this? Well, I woke up this morning, the sky is blue, and Jim Sterling upset a bunch of people last week -- these are all things that simply happen in nature. 

Who will be on the soundtrack? Well, we can confirm Tesla now. Yup, the guitarist for the 80s rock outfit recently confirmed that its song "Modern Day Cowboy" has been selected to appear in Guitar Hero 6. Dave Rude says the song was one of the three tracks it suggested to Activision when it was asked to be involved in the game. 

Rude also isn't on the "play a real instrument" band-wagon, seeing positives in the band-game experience. 

"“I teach guitar when I’m not touring and a lot of people start in on that," he says. "A lot of people complain, but I think it’s a good thing. Even if people don’t learn to play guitar, it’s exposing them to all sorts of cool guitar-based music that they wouldn’t have ever heard otherwise."

Are you a betting man? If so, popular discount Web site My Voucher Codes has a hot tip for you. The site has been looking at the sales data from its various retail partners and has confidently claimed that the Xbox 360 is primed to defeat the PS3 by an eyebrow-raising 3:1 ratio this holiday season.

"A couple of months ago, little separated the two in terms of units being sold through our site, but November has seen a huge surge by Microsoft's budget friendly console, backed by a stellar PR campaign," says My Voucher Codes founder Mark Pearson. "The PlayStation 3 is undoubtedly a fantastic console, but Brits are still extremely mindful of their bank balance due to the recession, and although they want Christmas 2009 to be memorable, are seemingly more than happy to choose the cheaper option.

"If sales stay at their current rate, the Xbox 360 will outsell Sony's console by three units to one, a marked defeat. Both companies want their console to be under the Christmas tree this year, but there can only be one winner."

The PS3 price cut was a welcome gesture and has surely seen a lot more PS3s find their way into people's homes. However, with the Xbox 360 able to wriggle out a cheaper price, it's definitely more attractive to the average consumer who doesn't care as much about Blu-ray and free PSN services as we do. We'll have to wait until the Christmas dust has settled, but this is an early swing in favor of the 360 so far.

From the sound of things, it seems like Naughty Dog is cooking up a nice Uncharted 2 surprise for this week. On its official Twitter, the developer hints at something "quite awesome" for the game's multiplayer. 

"Things are looking up that we're going to have something quite awesome lined up for multiplayer at the end of this week," it writes. 

We're unsure what this could mean, but it could be something as simple as the devs hopping online en masse to play with fans. While we'll mostly be on vacation later this week (it's the Thanksgiving holiday here in the States), you'll know what this "quite awesome" thing is when we do.

Who's this little guy? Why, this is King, one of the characters from Halfbrick's upcoming XBLA game Raskulls. The game's main character has taken the day off from kinging to appear as a rather adorable little figure, and Destructoid is the lucky outlet to get its hands on the little blighter.

This particular Raskulls figure is one of a handful of early models, but Halfbrick tells me that plans are in place to create a newer and more readily available version in future. If the game sells well, there's a good chance that Raskulls merchandise could be quite a readily available thing. The characters are incredibly likable and have "mascot" written all over them, so I could easily see more of these figures coming.

Raskulls is set to be one of Xbox Live Arcade's best party games when it releases next year, and having played it, I can tell you it's a bloody good laugh. We have exclusive video coverage of the game coming very soon, and I think you would do very well to check it out, so stay tuned to Destructoid for more on that.

Trust me when I say that Raskulls is a game that Destructoid readers will want to keep an eye on.

Red Dead Redemption was among the list of games Take-Two Interactive pegged for distribution in their fiscal 2010 line-up during a memorable financial conference call earlier this year. Not much has been said of the game’s release date since until a recent Rockstar Games press release, which revealed that the videogame western is slated for to hit retail in April 2010.

Oh, and a fresh trailer is set to hit the first of December.

We haven’t seen much of RDR yet, but we’re always excited for a game with horses and funny accents. It’s a problem, and yes, it is being investigated by professionals. Blood test and urinalysis are expected to come back from the lab next week. Doc said we looked "fine" otherwise, though.

Next week, Nirvana's Nevermind album sort of gets complete for the Rock Band catalog. The three "missing tracks" -- "Come As You Are," "Lithium," and "Smells Like Teen Spirit" -- are being made available as part of "Nirvana Pack 2." The catch? Two are live tracks.

Nirvana Pack 2 ($5.49/440 MS Points, $1.99/160 MS Points/200 Wii Points Per Track)

• "Come As You Are (Live from MTV Unplugged)" +
• "Lithium (Live at Reading)"
• "Smells Like Teen Spirit" 

Night Ranger Pack 1 ($5.49/440 MS Points, $1.99/160 MS Points/200 Wii Points Per Track)

• "(You Can Still) Rock in America" +
• "Don't Tell Me You Love Me" +
• "You're Gonna Hear It From Me"+

_{(The "+" indicates the song is also available for LEGO Rock Band)}

You might notice something is up with the Night Ranger pack... where the hell is "Sister Christian"? I suppose you have to save something for Rock Band 3, which should feature an entire section of your career dedicated to playing Night Ranger's most popular track (and one of the greatest songs of all time). Right? Right.

It seems as if Topware Interactive is sticking with the platforms that make them the most comfortable. Earlier this morning, the studio announced via press release that both of their upcoming PC titles, Scivelation and Two Worlds II, are set to hit the Xbox 360 in 2010 courtesy of publisher South Peak Interactive.

Prior to this announcement, Topware teased that both titles were coming to “next-gen” consoles and PC. It’s unclear if plans to release both games on the PS3 have been scrubbed in light of this recent announcement.

Scivelation is a post-apocalyptic action game said to feature a veritable smorgasbord of tired videogame stuff: time travel, a virus, fascism, robots, and rebellion. Two Worlds II on the other hand is, well, the sequel to Two Worlds. Get ready, folks.

The Japanese release of Final Fantasy XIII is imminent, and so Square Enix has wrapped up its promotion for the game in the Eastern part of the world. It's gone out with a bang, however, as Square Enix has revealed its "final" trailer, giving us a whopping five minutes of footage.

Of course, as Square Enix finishes prepping the game for Japan, it must turn its gaze toward we lowly round eyes, so don't expect the coverage to end any time soon. In the mean time, watch this trailer and flick your frenulum over some ludicrously beautiful visuals.

God damn, this game looks good.

Since we obsessively refresh GameStop.com, we already brought you news of the retailer's pre-order bonuses for THQ's Darksiders. Today, the publisher has decided to reveal them itself, giving us a closer look at what you'll get if you throw your money down a bit early. 

It's a pretty sexy package of stuff, so let me refresh your memory:

• Graphic Novel vision of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.
• Concept Art - Exclusive in-depth look at the creation of the epic Darksiders.
• Exclusive Fold Out Poster - Original concept art created by Joe Madureira.
• Weapons Feature - Master the weapons of Darksiders with this exclusive guide
• The Harvester - Code to unlock GameStop exclusive in-game weapon

Darksiders will be available on January 5 for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. You'll have to wait until then to get all of this fancy crap, but it sure sounds like it's worth the wait.

It seems that you can't really be a PC gamer until you have Steam running on your computer, and it would appear that Dell and Valve are in agreement on this. It's been revealed that the immensely popular digital distribution service will now come installed on Alienware gaming PCs and laptops as standard. That's kind of a big deal!

Alienware is not the most widespread brand of PC in the world, but this is a move that has huge potential. It will give Valve an automatic marketshare, for one thing, and there is little doubt that Dell is the only company that Valve has been talking to. If the publisher plays its cards right, Steam could become just almost as integral to newly purchased PCs as Internet Explorer.

It makes sense, too. If you game on a PC, you're going to need Steam eventually. This just makes it so much easier.

And by "real girlfriend" I mean Real Kanojo, an upcoming title  from Illusion Soft, better known to most English-speakers as "The RapeLay guys."

It seems they've held off from causing immediate controversy and settled for trying - and failing - to claw their way out of the Uncanny Valley, this time with this freakish CGI woman.

I must say though that at least from the specs, Real Kanojo is an impressive technical achievement. The game supports full 3D graphics (the funky-glasses kind), Windows 7, multicore processing, widescreen monitors, and full-on motion-sensing technology. And I don't mean that Love Death 4 weak sauce, either. Webcams track the player's face and movements. The girl's animations are fully motion-captured as well.

And as above, you can poke her in the nose. Also squeeze her cheeks, and - this being a game from Illusion Soft - all sorts of NSFW deeds. Move over, Project Natal, this is PC gaming at its...err...best?

Is this the ultimate evolution of Illusion's other woman-simulators, such as Sexy Beach and Artificial Girl? Or is it just the slutty version of Love Plus? I'm not sure. I mean, she looks kinda-sorta similar to a real 3-D disgusting pig.That hurts her cosplay options! Check below for a gallery, and a decidedly inappropriate (and obviously work-unsafe) gameplay video courtesy of Kotaku.

Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War 2 is getting a hot new expansion, Chaos Rising, bringing the twisted denizens of the Warp to Relic's much-loved tactical RPG. To celebrate, some brand new screens have appeared on the game's official Web site, while Relic tells us a little bit about the new campaign.

"We increased the level cap to 30, which let us add more trait unlocks to pursue. We also added new wargear options, including Lightning Claws and Melta guns, on top of newer higher level wargear. Lastly, we added an entire new character, Jonah the Librarian," explains the developer. "Corruption adds an entirely new layer to customize your squads with, and directly ties back to choices you make in the campaign. Your squads can become corrupt (or redeem themselves of corruption) by completing specific objectives, capturing crucial structures, making specific choices about mission deployments, or even just by following the example your Force Commander sets."

"We also tied a number of new wargear pieces to corruption. Some pieces of gear will require you to be corrupted, others will require you to be pure. Others will be easy to equip, but cause you to become corrupt. Becoming wholly corrupt or remaining wholly pure is difficult, but neither is a penalty -- they both come with unique rewards and playstyles."

I've only just started getting into Dawn of War 2, but have so far been impressed. I used to like Warhammer 40k many years ago, and found Chaos to be particularly interesting, so I shall definite look forward to playing Chaos Rising. They totally need some Thousand Sons up in that bitch though.
