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.

White always looks better on consoles, and PC's for that matter.

-InsanelyAwesome- I am not a massive fan of the design of the Xbox One, but a white one just looks horrible in my opinion. Guess its down to personal preference when it comes to colors, I would prefer it if consoles came with the option of choosing the color(s)you want.


I think white really compliments the design of the console, white seems like it was made for it.

Yea also considering the 360 launched in white. It was like the theme.


True, it would have looked a lot better next to a 360 in white also.

The white version looks a little sleeker and especially the controller.

If I had the choice I would probably pick white but I'm just happy I managed to get a Day One version of the Xbox One.

Zuko That's really cool. I think the only thing that makes it special though is the fact that only about 100 people get it. IF they sell it to the public then it becomes less scarce and therefore the value of it goes down.


Honestly i think the best part about it for the employees is the graving on it saying "I made this". That's pretty awesome
