These units are white, resembling a retail console. They were also equipped with a white [[Sidecar#Type 1|Type 1 Sidecar]]. The Sidecar on Test Kits has its [[Sidecar#Performance Investigator for Xbox|PIX]] port covered. But, the [[Sidecar#DVD emulation|DVDEMU]] port remains uncovered. They also have Test Bootloaders which restricts access to the consoles memory, preventing remote debugging. This does not prevent Test Kits from playing dev signed content and packages. The main purpose of the Test Kit was to allow developers to test early game builds; by using either DVD emulation for quick deployment, or dev signed discs.
