WORLD EXCLUSIVE: NEW XBOX REVEALED!
Microsoft poised to bring green Xbox to retail: get in here right now!
17:52 We can exclusively reveal that Microsoft is to bring a brand new, green version of its Xbox hardware to market.
The unit will be a retail version of the translucent green debug hardware that specialist press, developers and publishers already have access to, but which has hitherto been denied to Joe Public.
The green console, which will also release with a special green version of Controller S, will be a welcome addition to the Xbox family.
The move is yet another step forward in Microsoft's tireless marketing push that has seen Xbox overtake and pull clear of GameCube in the UK in recent weeks.
For the week ending November 10, Xbox enjoyed a 46 percent rise in sales, shifting 15,102 units, compared with 6,839 GameCubes over the same period.
The new unit should only serve to bolster this trend, an initiative that has also proved popular with Nintendo's console, which has been released in a number of different colours. The Xbox redesign is purely cosmetic, with internal specs remaining the same as current retail units.
It's currently unclear when Microsoft plans to release the new hardware: the first quarter of 2003 is looking likely, although speculation regarding a pre-Christmas launch is growing.
When contacted, a spokesperson for Microsoft refused to comment on the matter, but highly placed retail sources have confirmed to us that the unit is ready to go.
The world is turning green. The Grinch must be thrilled. Remember where you heard it first.
Looks nifty. Now if only it worked like a press box.

Ugly. The deep green on the LE S controllers given out at E3 is a lot nicer.
Unless it's just the lighting.

Holy hell!!!!!!!!!!!!! I didn't think they could make the Xbox any uglier, but MS has gone and proved me wrong.

I like it. It's not as slick as the PDO one, but if I didn't already have my modbox, I'd get one.

I wouldn't want the green on the console, but I don't think the controller looks too bad :p

I like it. I wish I could trade my regular one in for that one.
And it looks a hell of a lot better than the white Xbox.

Thats pretty slick looking, but unfortunatly it would screw w/ the black system motif I've got going.

Is that thing lit up from the inside?
That would be sweet.
