14 DAY TRIAL // Even if this picture was soon to be proven to have been made by a 5 year old, I still couldn't have not posted it for you to see. That's right, 360 lovers and hardcore gamers worldwide, the first/upper picture you see on the left (click to enlarge) displays four Xbox 360s, soon to be presented at the E3. Yes, no need to rub your eyes or wipe your monitor of dust - the first Xbox 360 starting from the left side, is apparently grey. However, the picture has been removed from its original place.
It was "eagle-eyed (and quick screen-grabbing) reader Rickard Gudbrand" that sent in this "screen capture he took while looking through Gamerscore Blog's flickr photos of Microsoft's E3 rehearsal," as Joistiq.com reports. Opinions will surely be divided like never before. A cheaper model is what everyone is banking on right now, rumors about it having circulated on the Internet for quite some time now.
More than that, given that the Elite is standing in the opposite direction (and everyone knows that's the pricey one), it may very well be another, indirect confirmation that Microsoft is prepping to reveal a cheaper SKU, probably featuring some extra, improved or why not even less features than its siblings. Many are also banking on an HD-DVD playing Xbox 360, bringing it somewhere between the price of the Elite and that of the Premium.
Everywhere I looked, everyone hints at a newer system. It's fairly possible and Microsoft actually needs to regain its users' faith, but has anyone even thought of the possibility that we're just seeing a shaded Xbox 360. Yes, why couldn't the light be a factor here? An update provided by Joistiq, via GSB's flickr says that "there's at least one image on GSB's flickr site that's showing four 360 models. But when zoomed in, the far left console appears to be white."
You have the zoomed-in picture just below the original. Do share at least one impression with us, I'm dying to see what everyone else thinks about this.
