For comparison

Really wish the new blue and red DS4s had solid colors like the white one in this pic. The black trackpad and back of the controller really throws it off.

Spoiler

I want a translucent ds4!

 

[shinobi602]

Damn, the final controller looks comfy as hell!

Can you use this controller on the 360?

Of course you can't.

 

[Haunted]

White controller looks better than the black one.

Should make them available for PC ASAP.

 

[SuperSah]

Of course you can't.

Disappointed, thanks Peter Griffin.

 

[Omni]

The console probably doesn't cost half as much to produce. They're not losing nothing giving it away like that.

Probably. But still... No doubt that the people working on the X1 are fans of the system, and it certainly would be good to walk away with it for free, as well as whatever other pay/benefits they get for their work.

Just saying. I can't see many people complaining about this. Or at least considering it 'stingy'

Spoiler

but what do I know ha

It uses wifi direct or something, doesn't it? Means it isn't compatible

 

[SlipperyMoose]

Why's is gotta be white yo

 

[Krakn3Dfx]

They should have some sort of salary sacrifice for Xbox Live subscription, on a massively discounted employees price. Only 1 year free doesn't feel right.

MS employees get Gold subs for $25, I have a friend who works in the Server division that gets me the hookup when I need it.

 

[VibratingDonkey]

Liquid white?

 

[Silky]

Damn that's sexy. Wish I could have that.

 

[Aselith]

good thing that GM employees dont have to pay for cars or gas

Live is a service not a product. There's not any production cost associated with it, it's a toggle. That comparison is kind of embarrassing.

 

[OldAsUrSock]

I like white consoles more than black ones, but these companies almost always go with black like every other appliance near your TV.

 

[Caayn]

To everyone who complains about MS employees needing to pay for XBL. Who's to say that they don't get a discount on it? I can't imagine that they pay the same price that we do.

 

[ZROCOOL]

So jelly.

 

[Demoncarnotaur]

That looks super sexy.

 

[Row]

So, MS employees got white privilege?

 

[op_ivy]

pretty sexy - but that would certainly stand out in virtually any entertainment set up. think i prefer the black.

 

[Lima]

Looks like shit but it is interesting that the buttons on the white controller are fully coloured like on the 360 compared to the black One controller where only the symbol is in colour.

 

[Trogdor1123]

Thats a nice thing to do for employees, good for MS and them.

 

[Crimsonclaw111]

White > Black

 

[schwabdizzle]

Why kinect isn't white?

Neither is the back of the controller.

 

[FUBAR McDangles]

So what does that say below the "I made this"?

To me, it looks like Launch: 11 Nov 2013

Wishful thinking?

 

[Oppo]

The white is not bad. But with that venting it looks even more like a consumer dehumidifier or the like.

 

[BTM]

I want that controller. Damn that thing is nice.

 

[Iacobellis]

Fuck... I want one. Weird how Microsoft started off with white-only consoles on the 360, and eventually went to black with the $499 Elite SKU. We seem to be in the opposite now.

 

[Sulik2]

Controller looks good, console looks terrible.

 

[Meier]

That controller looks dope.

 

[MaulerX]

I think the reason they kept Kinect black is because the entire front of Kinect has a black lens to cover/hide the other cameras that are behind it (them letting you see only one was a design choice).

If they made the body white, it would look real awkward with the front (which would probably remain black).

 

[dancmc]

It definitely says launch and looks like it says something Nov 2013

 

[hwalker84]

Meh. Black all the way.

 

[Iacobellis]

I see "Launch Team, 2013".

Looks like 'launch team 2013'.

 

[watership]

That's where the IR lights are for controller identification I guess. I guess they can't make a opaque white plastic that allows IR to pass.

 

[dancmc]

I see "Launch Team, 2013".

Yes, I can definitely see that now....wishful thinking that the actual release date would be revealed so casually

I think it's likely they do since one poster mentioned that his friend got him cards for $25. I think it's pretty crazy that they pay at all for a simple service activation.

To put this in perspective, I work for a cable company and we get free 50mb internet, free every channel cable and $15 phone service and 50% PPV. That's like $150 a month

 

[Ridesh]

So sexy.

 

[Omega]

Xbox 360 comes out: EWWW WHITE

Xbox 1 comes out: DUDE WHITE LOOKS SO MUCH BETTER!

sometimes colors just look better on certain products

Gold/Red PS3 controllers looks awesome

Gold/Red 360 controllers look like dog shit

 

[Discusguy]

I can't unsee the eraser that is the ps4. At least X1 looks like a premium vcr.

 

[sixteen-bit]

Electronics look so much better in black.

It's crazy to expect a free give away, even for a simple activation service. My dad works for KPN one of the biggest ISPs in The Netherlands. But he doesn't get free phone services, internet or TV. He only gets XX% of existing bundles and prices.

To asume that every company gives away free stuff, to their employees, no matter how small. Just because yours does is, which is nice btw, is plain dumb. (no offence intented)

 

[Conciliator]

Man that looks good. Pulling for purple tho.

 

[Ushae]

So sexy.

Yes. Badass. (seriously)

*looks at magma red and wave blue controllers*

What were Sony thinking T.T ?

 

[Digital-Hero]

"I made this"

.... on the backs of contingent staff.

I didn't say I ASSUMED every company gave stuff away for free. I know they don't since I've had other jobs. I said I can't believe that Microsoft doesn't activate everyone's service for free. The cost would be infintesimal and gives them a slightly better compensation package.

The company your dad works for are also tightfisted bastards.

 

[FUBAR McDangles]

Looks like 'launch team 2013'.

Shattered dreams

 

[kayos90]

Oh gosh. Both system should be in white. Holy shit it looks amazing.

 

[LiveFromKyoto]

For comparison

Wow. That's awesome.

 

[Slermy]

Xbox 360 comes out: EWWW WHITE

Xbox 1 comes out: DUDE WHITE LOOKS SO MUCH BETTER!

Eh, you have vocal people on both sides. If consoles were just released in both Black and White from the getgo, a lot of people would be happy.

 

[TRios Zen]

IF the One was only offered in White, I'd think it was dull and would pine for a black one.

NOW that I can't have a white one, I want it.

 

[GulAtiCa]

The white looks nice. Much better then pure black.

I hope they offer a white model in the future.

 

[SpartanN92]

It says "I made this" on the front.

That's awesome MS!
