Xbox Director of Programming, Major Nelson sent a tweet  (Twitter message) today showing off four Xbox 360 consoles that we the consumer will not be able to buy.


Though no doubt there are plenty who would buy up such neatly colored boxes, they were made specifically for the companies that Xbox 360 had announced partnership with during their E3 conference.

I do not usually agree with analyst Michael Pachter, but as the saying goes, even a broken clock is right twice a day.  He calls the integration of Facebook, Twitter, Last.fm, and Sky, "a glimpse into the future of the Xbox 360 as a home media/internet hub. I think that this announcement was far and away the most important one of the show, and think that the media completely missed its importance."

The final date has yet to be announced on when the company crossovers will take effect.  For now, enjoy some promotional screens of the services implemented on the system:
