A Demo Kit is a version of the Xbox 360 console used by game developers to demonstrate builds of games at conventions. They do not come with a Sidecar and thus include a standard 20GB Hard Drive. They were specifically designed to look like a Retail console to not draw attention from the public.

Xenon based Demo Kits are white like a Retail console. Early consoles may contain a secondary serial barcode sticker. Some contain the Sidecar power header while others don't.

Jasper based Demo Kits are black like the Xbox 360 Elite. May have development or test Bootloaders.
