The forum user also reports that Microsoft will release its exclusive white Xbox One to the public.White Xbox Ones already exist, but they were only given to Microsoft's Interactive Entertainment Business employees, and say "I made this" on the front. The giveaway also came with a one-year subscription to Xbox Live and games.
Five months ago, when asked if regular customers might ever see a white Xbox One, Microsoft's Larry "Major Nelson" Hyrb said, "maybe waaaay in the future" via Reddit.
