My guess is different manufacturing runs, and they just decided to alter the look.

The TS Series is XFX's current lower end series, the Pro Series Core Edition is a discontinued series. The naming scheme is slightly confusing.

 

Here's a review:

http://www.jonnyguru.com/modules.php?name=NDReviews&op=Story&reid=225

The review of the 450W model is more complete than the 550W model review since they're very similar. Based off the Seasonic S12II platform. Overall it seems like a decent PSU, with a "wonky" 12V and some terrible marketing.

 

Here is the review of the 450W model:

http://www.jonnyguru.com/modules.php?name=NDReviews&op=Story4&reid=224

It seems XFX got a little confused about the PSU they were selling (page 3).

 

Also, I believe the 450W and 550W models look different to the 650W and above models. The images on Amazon should be correct.

Both are the same, the newegg one is a TS series (No idea what that means).

 

 

 

The first picture on Amazon is incorrect. The other pictures look like the one on new egg.

 

It is not incorrect, I have the same PSU but a 750w and it is exactly like that picture.

Not sure why but that is how the 450w looks. At Least that is what it looked like in a local PC store.
