Get Your Orta Xbox System Right Here

I think everyone knew the Panzer Dragoon Limited Edition Xbox units would go for crazy money, but...

$650'S a great price for that puppy. I think I'd rather let www.colorconsoles.com color my Xbox all nutty and such.

Hmm, I wonder how much the one we have coming SIGNED by the team would go for?

It is coming from Japan and the weight of an Xbox must be at least 10 pounds. I've seen shipping for the official Virtual-On Twinsticks, for $30 and that's by boat, which takes 30 days. Just imagine how much it cost's to ship that puppy in 4 to 5 days.

$560 is a pretty good price, for such a rare Xbox package. Imagine what the thing will sell for in 6 months to a year?

I would be willing to pay more for a clean system personally. Smilebit doesn't exactly have a Yu Suzuki, Yuji Naka, or Shigeru Miyamoto.

No, but they do have Jet set, Panzer, Typing of the dead etcetera.

The Orta system is a big visual improvement on the default snot bubble one..... but damn that's a lot of money. It's a shame it's not seeing wider release.

I like how it's like 610 bucks already and it STILL hasn't even met reserve...:D

I am debating what my price point for snatching one of these up would be. Unfortunately, it isn't $600. Ths may turn out like the Biohazard DCs - I want one badly but can't justify the incremental cost. :(

I'm not trying to justify his shipping cost, but this is an international package, not a domestic package like the one you shipped. There are tarifs and other thing to consider.

There's no justifying anything about this auction. It'll probably hit $800 - $1000. I wouldn't buy it, even if I were rich, on general principle.

A 12 pound package to Japan with 2 day shipping costs $59.99 to send. The cheapest way takes 4-6 weeks and costs $34. I got that off the USPS site as I may be mailing my Jaguar to someone in Osaka.

i shipped stuff overseas and never had anything like that. except for the international slip that i filled out the value. i put the value at $10-20 to save them money from having to pick up the item and pay for tax and stuff

Incorrect.
Overseas shipping of big heavy things costs a whole freaking lot.

I got my figures using Puerto Rico as a sending point. Matt told me that sending the Jag to Japan from Hawaii would have stil cost about as much so...

Meh, just give your XBox shell a custom paint job. I am also willing to bet that those XBox shells you can buy around the web will soon be available in an Orta-ish style...

It isn't the same.

I could have just painted my DC pink, but it wouldn't be the same as owning the Sakura Taisen Dreamcast.

At least for me...
