Forums - Microsoft - GDC09: The developers-only metallic blue Xbox 360

 

                                              Click to enlarge (developers only!)

Hey game makers, we're writing this post just for you. That's right, regular people, you can tune right out starting now. Just turn it off. Zone out. Do whatever it is common people do.

Are we alone? Alright, here's the deal: this summer Microsoft will be releasing a new blue-tinted Xbox 360 XDK Development Kit for developers, which not only adds some cool blue styling to the extra-tall dev profile, but doubles the console's memory to 1GB (a just-for-devs feature, of course). Until you can totally get one of your own in a couple months, stare at some more images in the gallery below ... since you're a developer ... since everyone else stopped reading, just like we asked.

It is possibly the oldest, easily the most profitable, surely the most vicious. It is the only one international in scope. It is the only one in which the profits are reckoned in dollars and the losses in lives"---Maj. Gen. Smedley Butler

That is by far the best looking console. To bad they didn't make that instead of what they did.




If you drop a PS3 right on top of a Wii, it would definitely defeat it. Not so sure about the Xbox360. - mancandy

Isn't it just lit up with a blue light? I think the actual kit is mostly black and silver. There might be a blue tinge to some piece of it, but it's not as suave as this pic makes it look.



 

It's much prettier and probably much better built than a normal 360.
