A new image of Microsoft's Xbox 360 has surfaced on web forums this evening, where it is believed an industry insider leaked the image. Sources we spoke to who have already seen the hardware themselves confirmed that this image - despite being a render rather than a photo - is indeed the official finalised design of Xbox 360. Other scant details have also been revealed to us by our sources.

Apparently, as well as removable media for saving games, gamers will be able to save games on to their home computers via LAN networks. Whether or not this will allow game saves to be swapped is still unclear however, as saves may be marked to users' Gamertags.

Lastly, while the render of the finalised design is white, sources are adamant the outer shell of Xbox 360 will be removable, allowing gamers to personalise their console with a wide range of alternate colours and designs. Specific colours aren't yet confirmed, although the chrome model partially unveiled on viral marketing website Ourcolony.net yesterday is a genuine possibility.
