Fancy an Xbox 360 Laptop ? Get One with The Darkmatter Kickstarter Project

If you ever been to Xbox events, some of them have portable Xbox i.e. Xbox in a box-like thing connected to display. When I first looked at them, I was like I want one of them so I can play wherever I wanted to play. Good news is that Darkmatter Kickstarter Project is planning to build one if they get funded.

What is this project about?

It’s an Xbox 360 Laptop which uses the same Xbox 360 you play on but converted. The materials or the casing  is 3D printed, laser cut. Best part is, it is open source. The display is a 720P LED Screen. You can use pre-programmed Xduino360 board for modding. You can also play movies, listen to music, TV shows that works with Xbox Live and avail all the other Xbox 360 features too.

Making Xbox completely portable makes its easy for you and your friends to actually do a LAN party or even play in small room without setting up huge arrangements.
