Custom Twitter, Last.fm, Facebook X360s (for MS 'partners' only!)

by Alexander Sliwinski { Jun 25th 2009 at 8:30AM }

Microsoft's Major Nelson showed off several consoles that the company will be giving to its new partners, now being integrated into Xbox Live. The Major even noted that he may even "liberate" one and asked if anyone was with him. Um, yeah! Now we want Joystiq integration on Xbox just so we can finagle a console in our blue or yellowy/orangish color.

Also, theft is likely the only way to get your hands on one of these custom consoles (unless you've got a high-level insider at one of the involved companies). The Major makes sure to note, "To be VERY clear ... Those are special consoles made for our partners. They are not for sale anywhere." Hmm, five-finger discount it is.

[Thanks, B. Marriner]

i liked faceplates aswell - it's a shame they got phased out.

Snake Robot Podium @ Jun 25th 2009 12:19PM

I remember those too. Joystiq needs to appreciate what it has.

If you criminalize themed X-360s, only criminals will have themed X-360s.

The twitter blue is a pretty cool colour. Though i wouldn't want twitter written on it. Plus i don't want all this crap on my dashboard! ... Are we able to hide the 'tabs' for these? At the moment the current dashboard is a big let down.
I really hope this means microsoft may finally put a decent web browser on the 360 now!

The Dark Wayne @ Jun 25th 2009 12:16PM

yeah it's quite useful when the Batsignal goes up. I just send a tweet to robin and nightwing and away we go.

Access Granted @ Jun 25th 2009 1:12PM

These are kinda plain for my taste. I'd rather have a Joystiq xbox and yeah I saw the faceplate...
