It looks like that, but I think its just the color playing tricks on your eyes.

I'm going to make an educated guess....the white one is only a prototype.

The black one has all the exhausted griding on it...

As long as it's not bigger than the original XBOX, I don't care about the size. As long as the thing has enough room to cool.

it is bigger than the original Xbox.. Look at the dimensions

PS3: 325mm x 98mm x 274mm / 5kg
Xbox: 320mm x 101mm x 260mm / 3.84kg
Xbox 360: 309mm x 83mm x 258mm /3.49kg
