Microsoft and Peugeot launch Xbox 206 car

Let's go a li'l bit off topic here and talk about cars. Rewind four years ago. Remember the Playstation 2 Clio? Sure, we don't have much use for this vehicle in PS2 games, but the marketability of Sony in Europe has given way to this awesome design. Will Microsoft want to be left behind? Seems the answer is no.

Even in Europe, when the Xbox 360 is just capturing the gaming audience after the original Xbox console didn't fare too well, Microsoft faces the challenge bravely. Microsoft and French car manufacturer Peugeot joined forces to create Xbox 206, a car that looks as cool as the Peugeot 206 plus the green side lining and the Xbox 360 seats (and much more). This won't be in any Project Gotham Racing 4 vehicle line-up, as this is a real, honest-to-goodness car. Wouldn't it have been nice if Peugeot had taken it a step further and furnished it with Xbox 360 consoles in the backseat too?

The Xbox 206 has been available in the market since September 28 and comes in White Ice-Barrier, Black Obsidian, and Aluminum Gray tints. It's a limited edition and costs €12,350 to €12,850 (around US $15,400 to $16,100).

You probobly couldnt have a 360 in there as you are not supposed to move the 360 while its turned on.



Perhaps if they built in a function that doesnt allow it to be turned on unless the motor was off..

Does it even have a 360 in it??? WTF?



Hey look at me! Please smash my windows and steal my goodies! I have a 360 inside and look like a patetic weak eggshell. Please break me and get some delicious yellow yolk, i mean a 360. Yes please rob me blind.



Sad thing is this stupid hunk of junk probably doesnt even have a 360 in it..... and if it did, what a waste. What the hell are people thinking!

Wow man, how could you compare Ford to Peugeot? That’s like comparing Huffy to K2. And to be honest, Top Gear—the best car show—doesn’t even really care for the car maker.
