Xbox 360: a glimpse into the (very near) future photo

Hmm, what have we here? This is a picture taken from the Microsoft E3 conference rehearsal and posted on Gamerscore Blog (it was quickly taken down immediately afterwords). Will Microsoft be color-coding each of their SKU's perhaps? We will find out tonight, but personally, I'm a little depressed that the DS remains the only pink system on the market right now.

Just think if the 360 was pink and winning the console race, how humiliated would Sony be then? I got beat up by a girl once, and let me just say that it's not something you just walk away from and forget. Luckily she married a drunk and he beat her to death on Christmas in front of her kids, so who's laughing now Danielle McGee?!

Only pink console? Really?
In the UK we cant get rid of 'em! Pink DS's, GBA SP's, PSP's, PS2's... it's crazy...

Also, spousal abuse is always funny!

I'm gonna guess the grey one is the IPTV version of the 360. There are 2 white ones still there so I think it is a new SKU.

Nex, look at Snaileb's super giamongo pic at the clog! I think it is grey, it is the 4th SKU!

@Nex

Yeah, it could be a shadow. But why would they have 4 of them up there when there's currently only 3 SKU's. Vexing for sure.

if they were putting out another SKU then that picture doesn't make sense. Mind you the core is absent there (they all have HDDs) So you have a standard white premium, the elite, a grey one... and another white one?

"Hay look, u have been going for our products alot lately, you should get this one, its gray, its obivously worth the extra £50! You know you want to! "

I still think that the leds on the front should be blue/red instead of green and red for the elite.

DJ Duffy,

It's my understanding that any 360 can use IPTV, it's just a matter of them launching the service and fleshing out the features. I would think you would want to have one with a HD since they will probably implement a DVR type feature.

Serously though, they don't need 4 SKUs. 3 is already pushing it. I just hope they banish the core unit to the netherrealm and make every X360 come with a standard hard drive.

I'm going to be optimistic and say that it's a very dull Chrome color.

bhive01 at 07/10/2007 13:59
Actually, that could be something... An HD-DVD built-in. Highly doubtful, but at the same time it kind of fits, IMO.

The Gray one is a debug unit, we used them all the time at Gametrailers (I'm at Yahoo now).

@Usedtabe

Really, built-in HD-DVD drive is the only new thing I can think of that would justify a whole new SKU (I'm getting tired of typing SKU).

That may have been it. They used cheap ass tinfoil.

The only way I'd be interested is if it would include an HD-DVD drive and even then, I wouldn't sell my old unit just for the swap.

It's a kick in the jingles for those of us who bought launch consoles.

WTF? I highly doubt that's a fourth sku. My reasoning:
- There is no core up there. A core has a white disc tray cover, not a chrome one. The core also has no HDD. The boxes up there all have chrome trays and HDDs.

- There's also no gray box up there. That's obviously a shadow, because the rest of the boxes have an orange light shining on them. The only to tell for sure if it was gray is if the gray box had an orange light on it too.

You guys are taking way too much out of this shot. However, I'll admit that it's quite odd that there are four white boxes and a black box.

My thoughts are that the grey indicates some preproduction console, possibly the new 65nm model. Perhaps it really is a production model, but grey is not an attractive colour so perhaps this is what the new "core" will be to make people buy the sexier black model for more $$$
kintaeb's Avatar
kintaeb at 07/10/2007 16:37
@Sonos

There is a red light on the GRAY 360, and it retains its GRAY color. That is in fact gray. I think its just a recoloring of a previous version.

I am aware that the black console up there is an Elite. I am merely saying that the debug units are ALSO black, thereby making the grey console up their not a debug.
