Clear Xbox? With 20GB hard drive? What is going on...?
Various reports and images are circulating the Internet this morning, pointing towards a new and improved hardware set for Microsoft’s Xbox console.

According to entirely unsubstantiated gossip, the new machine, carrying the name Xbox Limited Edition Crystal, is a see-through Xbox complete with a 20GB hard disk.

When contacted this morning, Microsoft simply stated, “It's all just a rumour, we haven't made any announcements on this.”

We’ll bring you clarification on the situation as soon as possible.

When anything is discussed without official confirmation, it's rumour. Doesn't mean it's not true though. The spokesman said "we haven't made an announcement on this" and not "this is hoax".

That image looks 100% legit - creating a quality clear case like that would be prohibitively expensive for a hoaxer, and it's too damn good for a homebrew 3D render.

Looks like another push my MS to get their foot in a few more consumer's door.

Anyone know where I can buy Microsoft Corn Flakes?

And a knee-jerk response to Sony's Silver PS2.

Nah, that's what it's for. If they can't persuade anyone else to buy the big black suitcase, they'll persuade the folk who've already got one to buy another.
