=== Xbox ===
When developers were creating software for the original [[Xbox (console)|Xbox]], a prototype of the controller was used in the early development kits. This controller was slimmer, had elongated sides, and used a [[USB]] cable instead of an Xbox port-compatible cable.<ref name=":0" /> The dev kit console was shaped like a tower desktop PC, was grey colored and had a green circle in the middle of the front of the console with an X inside the circle. These are known unofficially as alpha towers. a second development kit was produced which was identical to a retail xbox however it had a clear case like the limited edition xbox and had the words Development Kit in green on the front of the unit. It uses a custom bios and system software that allows its hard drive contents to be accessed via the xbox neighbourhood a program included with the xbox sdk. It also included 128 mb of ram double what the retail xbox contained for help with running software with added debugging features.
