MS E3 Briefing Rehearsing Shows Gray 360: 4th SKU? Posted by XanTium | July 10 20:12 EST | News Category: Xbox360

From joystiq.com: [QUOTE] We don't know exactly what this means ... heck, we don't know what it means at all, but we thought it was too cool to not pass along to you. Eagle-eyed (and quick screen-grabbing) reader Rickard Gudbrand sent us a screen capture he took while looking through Gamerscore Blog's flickr photos of Microsoft's E3 rehearsal. The image shows the three Xbox 360 SKUs we all know and love, in addition to a mysterious fourth wheel that appears to be a gray 360. Making the whole thing even weirder, after Gudbrand commented on the photos' four boxes, the pic (and others showing the stage) appear to have been removed. [/QUOTE] Now first of all ... we're not gonna analyze this too much as we'll get the answer in a few hours, at 8:30pm PST to be exact. Secondly ... for some reason ALL sites reporting this story claim they see a 'Gray', Core, Pro and Elite Xbox360 ... but unless I got completely blind today I can't spot the Core ... They all 4 have a HDD and Silver DVD-Bezel, so for me there's no Core shown there. Third point ... it's not the first time we see a gray 360 ... the test units sent to magazines and website at launch were gray too, however those didn't have a silver dvd-bezel afaik. Last point ... another picture of the rehearsing shows 3 white and 1 black 360. Guess they might just have used a test unit for a some time during the rehearsing, and if there's really a new SKU or color coming we'll know it in few hours :)

I think that both of the white 360s are of the "premium" kind. They both have a HDD attached and a silver DVD-Drive.

Maybe the grey one was a rehearsal stand in for a special edition Halo 360 M$ are going to announce. We'll find out soon enough anyways.

If that picture is the only proof we have, did it ever occur to anyone that it's maybe just the light conditions that makes it look grey?

Thats what I though when I first saw the pic too since it looks like its a little further forward than the others and has a different light source. Only thing is my premium still looks white (not grey) even in very dim lighting (if that makes sense to anyone). I think its a grey xbox.

Look at the refelction off the hard drives and the fact that they all have light sources underneath the box. They all have if not equal, adequate light.

The thing is grey.

[nectar12]

no red lights on those

[goboom225]

no red lights on those

and everyone wonders where the other white 360 went
