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 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!
