Xbox Crystal probably in the USA

20.09.04 - In the USA recently the annual conference of the video game wholesale dealer Gamestop took place, on which hard & software for the forthcoming Christmas business are presented. How tenaciousdave reports of Gamestop, the Xbox Crystal already available in Europe is to appear at the latest in November 2004 also in the USA. There is not a price for the transparent console yet. Microsoft did not announce the Xbox Crystal officially yet for the USA.

Give me a price drop and I might break down and get one.

Why has Microsoft not released any of these special Xboxes (besides the green one) in the US to begin with?

 

[heavy liquid]

I might have to break down and get this, if it happens. I've been meaning to pick up a new one (getting sick of my Thompson drive), and missed out on the green one. Hopefully there'll be a price drop to compete with the PStwo (if it's cheaper), or at least a good bundle.

Sexy... Wonder what version the mobo will be...?

 

[P90]

Is this the MS answer to Pokemon Crystal?

 

[Defensor]

Great, right after I buy the Jolly Rancher Green XBOX they release this one.

Why hasn't Sony?

Why hasn't Sony?

US versions of the colored PS2s are available online through Sony.

Blue, white, and yellow are the only colors left, and they can be yours for (only) $200 each. I'd spring for one if I could sell my current PS2, but even then I'd be hesitant because the buttons and ports are still black, which make the entire magilla look a little...off.

I just bought the big, Incredibly Dark Green But Still Distinguishable From Black Xbox, so I know the feeling. But I wanted to be able to play Outrun 2 on its release day, and that game trumps an admittedly cool limited-edition color scheme.

Would it be fair?

 

[BeOnEdge]

considering everyone already has a ps2, yes.

 

[StoOgE]

I too am getting tired of my thompson drive.. Morrowind is becoming increasingly a bitch to play through this time. Everytime I finish doing anything (i.e. selling something) I save just to be safe, and it takes a solid 15-20 seconds to save.. its annoying as hell.

Is the PC version any better.. I may break down and buy it.

 

[BatiGOOOOOOL]

That looks really nice.

Also, has there been any news on the Xbox Holiday Bundle? I'm ready to order one, but I don't want to see the bundle pop up in a couple of weeks or so.

 

[tedtropy]

Sex.

 

[siamesedreamer]

The Halo one is still "teh c00Ler".

 

[jarrod]

I still want the Orta White XBox!!

 

[Semjaza Azazel]

If I had the money, I'd be all over this and the white PS2. I wish all consoles were flat white.

I still think the arctic GBA was the best one.

 

[Late Stage Marxist]

It'd look better with the green jewel in the centre.

Meh. That PDO logo in the corner really kills it.

 

[suaveric]

I just want one more color for the standard Xbox controllers. 4 ports but only 3 colors released.
