Images of an employee-only white Xbox One have been circulating today, and the design sure looks neat. Cooler than the black one, even. Too bad it's just for Microsoft staff. At least for now.P
As for the image's veracity... one source familiar with goings-on at Microsoft tells Kotaku it's real, and IGN is reporting that their sources have confirmed it too. When reached by Kotaku, Microsoft declined to comment.P
If you don't mind some idle prediction, I'd say this won't remain employee-exclusive forever. Could be a new model at some point after the new Xbox launches this November.1
I like black consoles cause they match my HT, but give me crazy colored controllers. I still don't know why they don't go nuts on colors. They make their money up with accessories, you'd think blue, white, green and other colors would sell pretty well. Is it a cost issue? Do they really cost that much to make?
Yeah, you'd think that would be an area ripe for exploitation. However, maybe it's one of those things that's best introduced a little later on. Oh, I've got four black controllers, but maybe I want to get some colored ones... and then people buy 'em twice.
I like me my black controllers. Just makes the whole setup match and look clean. Having bunch of different colored controllers? WTF is this, a little kids setup? That might work for Fuzz cause he looks like he's 8. :-P
They do have a ton of colours though don't they? Or are you just referring to the One at launch?
I was in Best Buy the other day and saw like 5 different controller options, including their Chrome series ( FUGLY ) and some of the Halo and Gears ones.
No I was talking about the 360 controllers. Halo, Gears and Chrome ones. Plus the Black, White and Red etc... they already have. I think Fuzz is talking about One though which makes my point stupid. :D
No, I meant the 360. I'm not talking about limited ones like Tomb Raider, Gears, Halo and Fable. The all red one was a Gears controller btw. Those were pretty awesome and I loved my ODST controller up until Hurley ate it. The Halo 4 was the best IMO.
The only good color released was the silver.
The light blue, pink, chrome and gold ones were terrible. I want orange, yellow, blue, green, red, purple. Just plain colors. I dunno, it seems like aside from the limited game ones the choices are pretty slim.
Man Nintendo was all over the colored controllers with the N64. And because they didn't use any effed up screws to hold the covers in place you could mix and match the tops and bottoms to make them two-toned.
Oh and the Dreamcast! I just went down to the basement and checked my controller drawer and found these:
