Microsoft Xbox 360 Kinect Natal Prototype

About

Named Project Natal at the time, until launch, these specific units were made around summer 2009.; Later designs around 2010 looked way closer to the final product.; First revealed at E3 2009 along with some demonstrations of the products. This prototype is mainly shown paired with regular Xbox 360 models as the S was still in development at the time.; The Xbox 360 text lies at the bottom right corner rather than the right center, and there is no Kinect text on the stand of the prototype.; There is no LED between the sensors.; The color of the Kinect appears less glossy.; The eastern-most sensor is colored green when turned on, which is not present in the final Kinect.; The sensors are larger than typical, and the other 2 are colored purple in some images of the prototype.; The side ends of the Kinect are not cut off into a triangular look, instead being in a perfect rectangle shape. The side bumps also differ.
