Photos of an Xbox One ‘Zebra’ Prototype

4.5
When creating a new console, the design is vital. In the design process a lot of different versions are crafted before the actual design is released. These prototypes come in all sorts of designs and colors and reddit user mamayer21 has posted a set of images from an early Xbox One prototype. According to the reddit post someone is actually selling this prototype. We couldn’t find the ad in which the prototype is being offered but it’s certain that this prototype was not meant for consumers.

The console has Microsoft stickers and according to several users on Reddit the striped ‘Zebra’ pattern on the console was different for every prototype that Microsoft sent off to developers. This was said to be done to identify the source if leaked early. The shots also show an early prototype Kinect with Microsoft stickers and an early version of the Xbox One option screen running on a tv screen.

Update:
Some people are questioning if this is infact really an Xbox One Prototype the image below shows the prototype being used by Microsoft during a Xbox One Kinect demonstration before E3 2013 and now one of those units is in the wild.

I'd get this as long as it makes zebra noises when you turn it on and off. TBH I am very upset with my AW Edition Xbox. It makes some truly terrible sounds. I usually just leave it on
