Rumor: Microsoft giving away white Xbox Ones to some of its employees

4.5
While most folks are waiting patiently for the launch of the brand new Xbox One, Microsoft has gone ahead and made its employees an offer they can’t refuse. Following its tradition of gifting their own devices to the folks that help build them, the company is supposedly giving away a special edition of the Xbox One to the full-timers in its Interactive Entertainment Business.

This special edition Xbox will reportedly feature a white and silver casing with controller, which, many folks would argue, looks even better than the “liquid black” of the retail version of the device. Eligible employees will also receive a year of Xbox Live and all first party games for free.

Of course, this isn’t the first time we’ve seen the white Xbox One. A leaked developer kit showed up last month looking somewhat similar to the one in this image. And we can’t confirm just yet if this rumor is true, but if it is, some Microsoft employees will be very happy come November.

It is great that Microsoft rewards their employees like this, but damn, the white version of the Xbox One looks amazing. I would love it if they were to release the white version of the console for purchase at a later date. I would most certainly get it.

Impossibility they should have put the white one on the market first


They shouldn't, it's exclusive right now which make people want it badly. It's a smart move to just show it but don't sell it.

TheWolverine i think it will go on sale to the public in the next few years.


Yep, just because It's white it'll cost more money.


I couldn't see Microsoft not eventually releasing a white model. I could see it being slightly like the Xbox 360 Elite. A small upgrade in specifications may be necessary to have people make the switch from their old Xbox One's


Yeah they will probably just upgrade the wireless or something on it and retail it off for
like $120 more

Everyone saying that they'd love to work for Microsoft because of this? Its like any other job you work in a game shop you get games cheaper and 2 days before release ?!?
