As every company is apparently afraid of making an actual announcement today, Xbox 360 maker Microsoft has chimed in with its contributions to April Fools' Day.

False products advertised over at Xbox.com include the wood paneled Vintage Edition Xbox 360, a monstrous wireless headset, an Xbox 360 console designed for outdoor use, and a board game that is both based on and connects to Xbox Live.

Furthering its celebration of April Fools', Microsoft is currently offering a selection of new gamer pictures via the 2008 April Fools' Day picture pack, which is available as a free download in the Xbox 360's online Xbox Live Marketplace.

I wonder if they are using this as a way to see if the helmet WOULD be a good idea. Price would be insane probably but dang, I still would have bought one.

Wood panel Xbox? Instead of calling it the vintage edition, they could call it firestarter edition.
