At the Wall Street Journal's D8 conference this week, Microsoft brought along an Xbox 360 and Project Natal for a demo. Engadget was there to snap some pictures, and reckons that what we may be seeing is the final retail version to be revealed at E3 later this month.
The new white look is in stark contrast to the black unit revealed at E3 last year. It should be noted that Engadget says the unit on display was marked as a developer unit; this jives with muttering I've been hearing for months that the color of the unit had changed.
Microsoft is set to officially reveal the final Natal design (and software) at a press conference on June 13, two days prior to the start of E3.

AND MY NAME ISN'T EVEN DAVE!!!
Hopefully that's not final.
Mom? Mom, is that you? Get out of my head, mom!
If it's not, it's one helluva ugly device.
This is TOTALLY gonna clash against my WHITE xbox :/
This will look fabulous on top of my black LCD TV and my black tv stand, it'll accentuate that bright red ball that I need to kick on screen so well!
At least there's a REASON for the giant ball on top of the Move. What was wrong with the old Natal design?
That said, white and chrome is always what you see in vision of future households and world of tomorows. Apple ran with that white = futuristic notion for awhile.
This view of it is only really the first one to show it in all its innocence rather than an orchestrated straight on zoomed in view, giving it that high-tech important look.
Am not sure where I'd put one anyway... centre speaker is in front of my TV :s
