Check out the Headline for more info.

Sounds very nice indeed. I would like a black XBox!

There's is a champange (yuck) and black replacement case available now from stores in China.

Didn't you read the notes Steve?

"EDIT: I made a mistake, this is actually a debug unit. Sorry about that. I've never seen one before and I got all excited."

But you can be sure they will do them, maybe in 6 months time or so.

Then there will also be a 'crystal' version etc etc.

Does black make it faster?

Black looks ok, but then again it means all accessories are then going to have to be available in the black colour to 'match'... So it would mean completely rebuying everything, seems a little pointless just for a colour.

Suppose it gives those who don't have one yet.. a colour choice. I like its current colour anyways, suppose it's down to personal preference..

Tomahawk, love your avatar... /* needs to get out more */, at least black would make it blend with Hi-Fi stuff better..heh...I may actually think about painting mine black *hrm*...

Tbh, the Ps2 = black, cube = black, and then M$ had to keep the 360 while lol.

This is definately one of the first debug units, not a normal Xbox 360.

Talking of the 360, mine is starting to make a right racket!

That's a shoddy piece of work then

on topic.. maybe black would help the heat dissipation

Hmm I would love a heat-reactive paint job on the 360 as it would look great

I think the black finish makes it look like an old Dell small form factor desktop machine.
Wouldn't be my choice.

Why would you want that, with these things overheating it would only ever be on colour when you turned it on

[bsodmike]

I guess it does standout in it's whiteness....looks like M$ took a page out of Apple's book. I do love the new controller and HL2 has been announced for a Jan 07 release

Let's hope they also release CS:Source for it as well Has M$ indicated about a 'keyboard' for the 360? (well wireless of course...)

That's whats on my desk right now, and you're so right, I hadn't noticed that before.
