Anyone heard of plans to release this outside of Europe or are we Americans condemned to giant chunks of black plastic forever?

 

[soundwave05]

They're all over Canada. Saw stacks of 'em yesterday.

 

[explodet]

It's ours! ALL OURS!

MWAHAHAHAHA

 

[MrparisSM]

Pure SEX! Damn, if they released these here I would be forced to buy another Xbox I swear.

 

[Date of Lies]

Well I love my clear green one, but this one looks like pure sex, but anything's better than the god ugly black one.

 

[suaveric]

are they selling stand alone controller with that color?

 

[dskillzhtown]

I checked the EB computer today for this very item and of course, it wasn't in there.

 

[MassiveAttack]

Goddamn. I need this. Anyone know of an online store that might have them?

Thanks but they will not ship outside Canada. Need an import source.

 

[Subitai]

There was a rumor that they might be coming this month, but it looks like it wasn't true.

 

[DaCocoBrova]

M$ is dumb.

 

[fr4nz]

i own one of those, and it makes much more noise than a standard xbox .... (yes it's possible)

that really sucks!

 

[Truelize]

That sure is pretty....... But not as pretty as my Halo xbox. Sweet green action.

 

[Deku Tree]

I would buy a crystal xbox if they released it in the US.
They probably never will now though unless they have excess supply somewhere, sometime next year.

Not so good picture, but that's the only one I have. Too bad I don't have the machine running cause the green light around the standby button gives it a much more sexier look.

Isn't it a god ugly dark green?

 

[mumu]

I have to say it works really well with the pink wallpaper and the purple whatever-that-is

Now thats pretty swank! Quite happy with my Crystal Xbox with a nice blue leds dotted around (and one from a chip), but if it breaks down I think I could be tempted to get a shell like that.

 

[DaCocoBrova]

Keep in mind that with that shell, the bottom and back of the unit are still black, as they still use the original housing. Stopped me from buying one.

 

[DrEvil]

Yeah, at EB GAmes Canada we have the Crystal Xbox combo.

comes with
1 Crystal Xbox
1 Crystal Controller
1 Fable
1 Crimson Skies
+ your standard cables

for the low low price of $249 CAD.

 

[NotMSRP]

Comes with better games too! I don't want sports games in a bundle.

Thanks for the info, I think I've found a new shell for my modded XBox.

 

[Drexon]

are they selling stand alone controller with that color?

Yup. In every country the release a (transparent) color they release a stand alone controller of the same color.

 

[fallout]

They also give you 2 free months of Xbox Live.

 

[Ryck]

I hate you guys.... I just ordered one on Ebay $304.00 US shipped ups .......*looks at wallet* *sob*

 

[Overseer]

Featured in Game Informer. It isn't that expensive either.

 

[Baron]

Microsoft is sitting on huge mountains of cash by not releasing this in the United States.

...

Well, they're already sitting on huge mountains of cash.

Ok, then they are missing out on even taller peaks of sweet-smelling American dollars by not releasing this in the United States.

 

[Ryck]

Apparantly I also get crimson skies and Fable (which I already own ) anyone know if they are the not for resale type?

Yeah, but you're also going to get stuck with a Thompson drive.

They come with little white stickers on the back that say "Not for individual sale." I've tried removing them and they kind of come off. I figured I can get the rest off with a hot water or something.

 

[Ryck]

It's ok I won't be using the drive Besides I have two others, one with a Thompson (had since launch no probs at all) and a 1.6 box with a Phillips drive.

 

[Sagitario]

They're all over Canada. Saw stacks of 'em yesterday.

And México .

Green>Black>Crystal

 

[duderon]

Green>Black>Crystal

I would buy a crystal in a heartbeat if it were offered here in the US, so otherwise no.

 

[NDK]

It is just my opinion and I know a lot of people disagree. Personally I think the crystal looks really cheap and tacky. The green and black do not stand out as much in a bad way when sat beside the tv and other equipment unlike the crystal. Green and black controllers look better than the crystals ones IMO also.

 

[Galaron]

That Crystal Xbox is pretty slick. I love it when hardware manufacturers put out limited runs in different casings and colors. Of course, I'm rather partial to the white EA Xbox Special Edition. I believe they only made 100 units and that it is the shortest run MS has ever done, making it a pretty rare item. You'll have a tough time finding it at Wal-Mart though, as it is a very generous gift from Microsoft to the EA devs who worked on Xbox Live support. It's like the spirit of my Dreamcast lives on in my Xbox!

 

[COCKLES]

:lol

You better beef up on home security. Darien and his posse will be coming to town.

 

[fse]

I might buy one from Mexico, ~$207.06.

 

[LakeEarth]

Yeah I'm getting one for Christmas. Is it really louder than normal xboxs? Is the plastic flimsy or something?

 

[Defensor]

Holy Crap!

Holy shit that looks nice

 

[Zeenbor]

I just bought one this past week here in Montreal. It's really nice.

Just get rid of the EA shit and that's one hell of a box

 

[Rorschach]

That albino box looks nice.

 

[Mareg]

If you want one, my GF is selling plenty of them on ebay (for a premium price (289$)).

Now, she as over 500 positive feedback an none negative (last dozens positives are about this Xbox crystal edition). Her user name on ebay is "clodyn".

You can PM me if you want to buy outside ebay, I would give you a way to communicate with her.

Oh yeah, for those that didn't know, this edition comes with Fable and Crimson Skies in their seperate boxes and everything is brand new.
