The devs kits look like ass, I wouldn't buy one of those even if it was cheap. Looks horrible in black. It's not even true black it more of a grayish light black. Not smooth whatsoever looks like one of those black plastic tubes those lays stackables chips come in. Owell as long as they are close to final spec's I could care less.

when are you people going to realize that the flash can make it look differnt, even any bright light can make black plastic look differnt. Is it just me or when you put your controller at an angle in the sun its looks kinda green.

i would love to get my hands on a black 360 it will blend better with all my stuff. great find.

[xp-power]

i dont like it i think the top expansion pack makes it looks bloody ugly but oh well thats a beta version and i know the public's version looks alot nicer

I think it does say xbox on that white box, more pics or a link would be great!

I thought the add-on hard drive was supposed to be small and designed to be carried... The one attached to the beta kit is a BRICK.

I'm sorry to rain on your parade, but the original poster of this picture is a 10th grader who says he is experienced in photoshop and 3d studio max. This was all in his profile.

Who the hell would spend that much time making a fake pic of a beta kit...? I sure as hell hope he has more of a life than that...

(I saw a couple of those xbox devkits go for 600 or more on ebay...)

Hey, there's one...

That photo originated from this website: http://www.evanfiddes.com/

In the profile it states he is in 10th grade and fluent with photoshop and 3D studio max.

I doubt the dev kits would have wired controllers when the xbox 360 controllers are supposed to be wireless.

thats because xbox controllers are green...
the xbox itself is green.. it is not black

dont believe me? go dremel it.. and take a look at the shavings.. their GREEN

look real hard at your xbox.. its GREEN

[TB_88]

look at the cable coming from the controller... why would the cable get like stuck on the xbox 360? It's bending with the shape not just lying on there...
Fake?
And why a white controller and a black box? Where does the cable go?
Is the input on the back?

I clicked on Keva's username and found no mention of what you said in his profile. It doesn't appear to be a fake. It looks like the real thing. Not to mention, he's been here since 2002 and you've just recently arrived. After being here for almost three years, do you really think Keva would want to lose credibility over something so trivial? Now that I re-read your reply, I see that you're just purporting that he doctored up this image. You're not actually saying that he faked it, you're just implying that he did.

Cbass182 took your bait, brooksie48, and in a way, so did I. He mistook your implication to be fact. Great, I foresee a flame war on the horizon. Let's cross our fingers and hope I'm wrong. Peace, love and .

Edit: As far as the color of the machine is concerned, it looks more dark blue than black to me. After all, the Xbox isn't black, it's really dark green. It wouldn't be out of the question for it to be dark blue and stay in tradition with the Xbox's misleading color.

To photoshop that it would take a while,fake or not...mad props.

i'm fluent with photoshop too and i say it's real.

the way the white box on the left is reflected by the sticker and the box itself.....the oly thing faked could be the controller...on the top where the xbox360 gets in front of the L or R button looks like a photoshop edge when u delete a selection...i could be wrong but i say it's real after all

and the black one looks crappy, not that rich and luxurious like a shiny white xbox saying hey, i'm pure, i'm all yours, play me (bit like a virgin, lol)
