White Xbox One could hit retail 'in the future'

4.6
Microsoft's Larry Hryb has said that it is possible that the firm will sell white Xbox One units to the general public, but that it won't be for some time yet.

It emerged Monday that the platform holder has produced a limited number of white Xbox One consoles to be given exclusively to Xbox One employees.

The consoles, free to Xbox One employees working at the firm at the time of launch, will come with all the launch-day first-party games, a special achievement and will have the words 'I made this' etched next to the disc slot. The machines also come with a white controller and a year's subscription to Xbox Live Gold.

The Xbox One has only officially be shown in a black trim, which will be the sole colour available at launch.

Although details such as the 'I Made This' insignia and the special achievement will remain unique to the staff-only machines, Hryb told reddit readers that a white version of the console could go on sale "maybe waaaay in the future", as spotted by Polygon.

The platform holder has released a list of games that are targeted to be available for Xbox One on launch day, including Forza Motorsport 5, Ryse: Son of Rome and Killer Instinct.

Microsoft expects to release its new console in November, though its initial target of 21 launch countries was recently narrowed to 13.

i don't really see the point i mean its only a color right? and i doubt your going to be looking at your xbox much anyways.

Hundreds how do you get marks and scrapes on an xbox? quit throwing around your xbox and you'll be fine.


I guess it could happen if you leave your Xbox on the floor and somebody steps on it / drops something on it. It all comes down to if you care for your console or not

Dr-Ponyfile In my opinion I prefer the look of the white one but they are a pain in the *** to keep free from dust with anything white it stands out but it does look a lot better imo.


It wouldn't be that hard to keep it dust free if you consistently care for your console. I prefer the black version regardless

Hopefully they will release it for retail purchase late 2014 or so.

I hope this does come out into stores, this one looks way better than the black one

The white one looks very clean and nice, although it would show a lot of dust.

I believe they will release the white one a little later on its only smart that they do since some people will be like "I need this even though I already have one".

I also wonder if their will be any limited edition color/skin'd consoles like they did for the 360,I remember halo 3 and other popular games did these "Special Console's", it will be interesting to see.

Myself personally I have the limited edition "Resident Evil Red" xbox luckily me not being a big fan of the game anymore its just a very nice red and doesn't resemble resident eveil in anymore. I find it looks very sharp being red and black.
