Rumored Employee Only White Xbox One (Click for Larger Image)

There has been some buzz going around the internet about an all white Xbox One console that will be exclusively for Microsoft employees. We haven’t seen any pictures of the mythical white Xbox until now. The picture we stumbled upon was sourced back to Reddit and as near as we can tell, it looks to be legit. It’s also rumored that on the disc drive of the console “I Made This” is engraved on it.

Of course there’s no real way to know until the console comes out or if Microsoft confirms it but I sure hope that this becomes an option that the rest of us can purchase at a later date. This is by far the best version of the next-gen console I’ve seen, at least in my opinion.

This new LEGO® set, LEGO Architecture Studio,  is one of my favorite kits yet, why? It’s because this is what building LEGO is really all about. Don’t get me wrong, all of the themes that LEGO releases are great but leaving it entirely up to you is just going back to the roots of what building LEGO is all about. It’s just you, 1210+ white and transparent LEGO bricks and an inspirational guide to help spark your imagination. There are no instructions.

The 272 page guidebook has been endorsed leading design houses, REX architecture, Sou Fujimoto Architects, SOM, MAD Architects, Tham & Videgård Arkitekter, and Safdie Architects. So, yes it’s the ultimate Architect’s LEGO kit but just about any builder will appreciate a kit like this.

The set sells for $149.99 but is currently out-of-stock, you can see more pictures and details on LEGO’s official site.
