Xbox 360 has been awarded a Good Design 2006 award. The console was designed by Astro Studio and Japanese designer Chiaki Murata. It's a big plus from that awful black suitcase Microsoft released a few years back. The award was given by Japan's "Good Design Council," started back in 1957 and has the sole purpose to find "excellent design products, which encourage the contribution to the quality of life and industrial field via power of design."

They will give the console an award but wont buy it, go figure...
