Aight, now that I've got t3h specs...
OMFG!! AWESOME!!! I think the whtie color is temporary, considering the really crappy plastic that it is made out of. Thin, and to shiny. Not good for gaming. On the other hand, I imagine the controller would feel pretty damn cool with that type of plastic... I just hope the controllers don't go the way of the PS (PS SUCKS!!). You know, really heavy up front near the middle, but crazy light down in the handles? Makes balancing hard. That is what I love about the xbox 1, it had nice balance, decent size, and joystick and D pad control. Only problem was the plastic formula made your hands REALLY gross after an hour of sweaty gameplay. The plastic on that controller looks like it would make your hands really slippery if you were sweating. I think it might be pretty nice to feel even if wet though.
Hehe, I can tell mass, thin-ness, and what the plastic would be like under certain conditions, just by looking at it.
The xbox had a neat feature with its casing. If somethign heavy was dropped on the top, the casing had a up bent, hard plastic stretched tight top, to make objects bounce off. I watched X-play, and Mogran Webb dropped a 10 pound weight on the thing and it didn't take a scratch! PS died in the first test! TWICE! They did the tests twice to two different sets of systems! Game cube won! The xbox had a bit to heavily built in spot on the front, which if you dropped it, would pop out due to there not being alot of shielding for impacts. if you dropped it flat on it's belly, or back side it would be fine though.
But, in conclusion I think the color is just temporary.
BTW I hope they don't stick with the sucky plastic joysticks! >_< They wouldn't stick right like on the first xbox! Your fingers would slide off half the time! I wouldn't be able to play with em with my hand heel. I can bend my thumb back all the way. Double jointed

Good bye.
