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:

Looks uglier than one would imagine.

I don't care what color it is, I just want a quieter 360 with a bigger hard drive. HDMI would be nice, too.

I am getting a ps3 and 360 with my tax return so i am gonna be pissed if they release a new version right after I buy one. first multiple sku's then a bigger hd a year in? if it's true ms better offer some rebate for older systems.

Damnit, Microsoft is coming out with a new version of the 360 that comes with a cat?! I'm feeling the early adopter rapage.

Its obviously a home job. He has a white faceplate in the background on his bed, if you notice. Just kinda points towards him doing it himself, but idk.

That's ugly as hell. Who wants an Xbox 360 + accessories that just looks basically like the original Xbox + accessories?
