If you have been wondering when or if you can get a white version of the new Xbox 360 console design, your wait has now ended. Microsoft has announced via the Major Nelson web site that it has starred shipping a new Xbox 360 Kinect Bundle package to stores in the US and other parts of the world that features a glossy white 4 GB Xbox 360 console.

The console comes with a Kinect motion sensor and an Xbox 360 controller, both with the glossy white finish. The bundle also comes with two free games (Kinect Sports and Kinect Adventures) along with a card good for three months on the Xbox Live Gold service. The bundle is priced at $299.99 in the US. Europe and Brazil will be able to receive the bundle in a few months.

Users can also purchase a glossy white Xbox 360 controller separately from the bundle for $49.99 starting today. There's no word if the glossy white Xbox 360 console or the Kinect sensor will be sold separately from the bundle at this point.

Of course, the original design for the Xbox 360 console in 2005 had a white finish but that was ditched when Microsoft redesigned the console and made it black when it relaunched in 2010.
