The console's final design is expected to be officially unveiled Saturday by Microsoft chairman Bill Gates at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas.
Planetgeforce posted the pictures, stating they were taken from the gaming publication Electronic Gaming Monthly.
Planetgeforce credited Voodoo Extreme with getting the magazine's pictures. Voodoo Extreme apparently took the photos down from its site at Microsoft's request. But Planetgeforce grabbed the images before they were removed and then posted them.
The photos show the Xbox as a black, square device with a large x and a green light on its top. The pictures have literally been scanned from the pages of the magazine and apparently reproduced without permission from either Microsoft or the publication.
Electronic Gaming Monthly confirmed the pictures came from its magazine, which has not yet gone to publication.
Other game sites also posted images and information from the magazine article, including GamerWeb.com.
