Hey look, it's a black Xbox 360 with Vladimir Cole's adorable kitten. Is this the ever-elusive new Xbox unit with 120GB HDD and HDMI output? Nope, it's just the test unit we got when the console launched in late 2005, and this picture is from the last time a black Xbox 360 was rumored to exist just five months ago. It doesn't completely refute this latest "Xbox 360 v2" rumor, but it does give some apprehension to the validity of these lates claims. Check out the highlights for today:
