Rumor: Microsoft giving away white Xbox Ones to some of its employees

4.5
While most folks are waiting patiently for the launch of the brand new Xbox One, Microsoft has gone ahead and made its employees an offer they can’t refuse. Following its tradition of gifting their own devices to the folks that help build them, the company is supposedly giving away a special edition of the Xbox One to the full-timers in its Interactive Entertainment Business.

This special edition Xbox will reportedly feature a white and silver casing with controller, which, many folks would argue, looks even better than the “liquid black” of the retail version of the device. Eligible employees will also receive a year of Xbox Live and all first party games for free.

Of course, this isn’t the first time we’ve seen the white Xbox One. A leaked developer kit showed up last month looking somewhat similar to the one in this image. And we can’t confirm just yet if this rumor is true, but if it is, some Microsoft employees will be very happy come November.

More options = more money for them!

Destroyed They should just sell both white and black to public. The employees get something like Gold something unique IMO.


Yea that would be better for us and them
Win win.


I would rather have the white than the black, they might end up bringing both out in the end....fingers crossed.

It looks nice, but everything in my setup is black and there's no changing 10000$ worth of stuff. But if they announced a white I would buy it for my living rooms and keep black for my bedroom

Boar Why won't they sell these, this looks so much better than the black its uncanny!


As they want to give something good to their employees for doing a great job I guess a way of saying thank you I think its great that they are doing this as it gives the employees more incentive to work harder etc.


Exactly which is why they should make something better for their employees.
