why does the article say they are covered in tape to hide the shape. Wouldn't tape only hide color and texture? its shape would still be the same only covered in a thin layer of tape? that confuses me

edit: i realize the xebra pattern is to hide curves, but the XB1 doesnt have any curves, its a box.. 

The Zebra pattern as far as i understand it was not to hide curves but to identify the console who the dev kit went too. It's like a barcode scanner, if a picture of the dev kit appeared on line you would know which company it came from. Even the Camera had a zebra pattern on it.

As far as the rumour, if they are *only* asking at this point, they would need to get answers back then implement, check for heat issues, testing, electronicts approval, manufacturing tests etc etc. It would be a nightmare. Also its supposed to go into production in August (if not already), so too close or would be very dangerous indeed.

Will have to wait and see, but i think bogus at this time.
