A black Xbox 360 is set to be released according to US Xbox forums. Several games sites are running the story. they claim that advertising for the Black Microsoft games machine has appeared in a Best Buy Catalogue and online.
The advertisment seems real enough and the ideas of a black Xbox sounds pretty cool. Or is the advertisment simple a mistake in colouring (somehow)?

Or a slip that Microsoft weren’t quite ready to announce yet? Well there is nothing over at bestbuy.com, which for some reason, when searching for “XBOX 360 black” produces Splinter Cell. So it could well be a simple mistake. However, how could anyone make such a mistake? There are millions of pictures of the system on the net, and to “accidentally” colour it black with no-one realising is just ridiculous. It would be a good time to release the new colour too, since in the run up to Christmas, this would make a great present for anyone with nice black furnishings (ehm, me).
So, what do you all reckon? Could a black 360 be coming to a retail shop near you? Who knows, but my one question remains: how could anyone accidentally colour the 360 black? Leave me your thoughts at dwr@4squaremedia.com
