Now, I'm no conspiracy theorist, and of course we don't know anything for certain, but is it even remotely possible that this could be a prototype of the Xbox Series X?

hmm. we've been shamed out of questioning things due to that one label.

> but is it even remotely possible that this could be a prototype of the Xbox Series X

reminds me of Simpsons episode where they found angel bones but it was used as advertising for the grand opening of a new shopping mall

It is an exact replica of the monolith from 2001: Space Odyssey, from what I’m seeing.

Not even close. Wrong color (2001 monolith was black, not stainless steel). Wrong shape (2001 monolith had a rectangular cross-section, this one has a square cross section (plus or minus).

Also, you can see the construction methods.

No. This was clearly installed by a mischievous person relatively recently.

Too small to be a PS5 prototype
