New Japanese Limited Edition Xboxes
-
why are we still getting shafted on the limited editions from AN AMERICAN COMPANY?
ugh.
-
well, microsoft japan is the one making these decisions obviously.
-
I want the blue one... it matches my startup for my modded xbox.
-
I know the whole "omfg xbox is huge" joke has been done a thousand times...
But seriously, a white xbox? No thanks. That would make it look about four times bigger than it already is.
-
That blue one is hot. If they released these in the US I'd buy one of those to mod and keep my black one for Live.
Though, with Xbox sales in Japan, why bother? The ones in the picture are probably the only ones they produced... the sales are downright sad, and all the good jokes have been done before. It seems silly. And we've had zero limited editions here where people actually like and appreciate Xbox. Grr.
-
That white/silver look is swanky. I'd love to have one.

They must figure making a system more attractive will push those on the edge, over.

Exactly. Don't they know vertical stripes are slimming? Mix that white exterior with some black lines and that baby can start strutting properly into clubs.
-
I'd make a metro-sexual xbox joke right now...
But then I'd have to kill myself.

South Park used all the good ones.
I wonder if MS PSone'd the Xbox if it would sell better In Japan...
-
I'd buy a PSone'd Xbox :D
-
I'm having fantasies of getting a white one and swapping its shell with an American Xbox.
:/

then paint it black :chick:
-
That white one is beautiful. Not that I have many complaints about black and green, as they're my favorite colors, but white's so... Nice. Makes it look a lot more slick.
I'd love one if I could afford to blow my money like that.
-
The white would would be sexy if the circle in the middle was not white as well...
-
-
Aurora, yet another disgusting, yet funny avatar.
-
I think my white PS2 looks better than that white XBOX.
But that blue one got me. I almost got a blue PS2.
-
I don't find that funny, it's just plain disgusting.
I like the white and blue Xbox's, but I've already got a black one.

It's like my trendy Black US PS2!
-
I've got the Japanese Dino Crisis 3 box set xbox. If anyone wants it it's yours for $100 w/ box game system and a copy of Otogi I got along with it.
You know you want it! :)
-
OMG! They may actually sell 2 of those this week! Seriously, you would think that MS would take a hint and make those things smaller or atleast make it so that it can stand on its side.

This was my first thought as well, emphasis and everything.

I think you might want to brush up on your English, because the word you were looking for was "stupid," not "funny."
And come on people... Japan gets all of these Xbox colors because they are trying to find ANYTHING that will help sell systems. We don't have colors because they don't need to give us any. It is a shame, though, because that blue is indeed nice.

You would think that's the only reason, but the highly succesful PS2 got the full color treatment (In Japan) and we get nothing but the good old black unit.
-
No love lost on the colors. Honestly, if we get 'em, great, but it's not a deciding factor in buying the thing.
If they had an orange one though...
-
The white version looks very similar to the awesome LE Orta X-Box released last year, only without the nifty design on top.
The blue DOA one, however, looks incredible. I wonder why M$ even bothers at all with things like this anymore in Japan where XB is already a lost cause...
-
We never get any of this shit... thanks japan. :mad:

I hope you mean we only got a black Xbox, because there are many colors of US PS2 systems...
-
That avatar is fucking vile.
-
Agreed. Some things need not be seen.
-
One of the smarter members explain to me, if it is a $100 japanese one, can i mod so its totally worth the price? (Not an xbox owner, currently...)

No, you can't mod it, because someone already beat you to it. :p

While Yoshi's probably right, but if nobody had bought it you could have... and I could have hooked it up. Of course I've still got to hook up Freddy Blaze with this stuff, but you'd be a close 2nd in line.
-
Japan get all the nice coloured systems...but that's why you import :D ...I like the blue one...but I've already got a midnight blue PS2 so I don't really need 2 blue systems :sweat:

Yes you do. Color coordinate.

If I can get the blue Xbox and get it modded for cheap, I'll consider getting a Xbox again.

I may be bugging you regarding the same question, Chux. Could you be more specific about what you can hook up and how much you charge?
-
Well, I haven't installed a chip myself, and I don't think I'd ever charge for stuff... I mainly just have the software people are looking for, homebrews, apps, etc.

instead of paying so much for an import Xbox and then getting it modded why not just have your US one painted?
arent there a bunch of websites that do that now
wasnt one like consolecolors.com or colorconsoles.com or something

not at |337, duh. I might have misunderstood it, but $100 isn't paying so much in my book.

Sounds more like "Ha ha ha, we're keeping your orders."
But maybe that's just my logic, seeing as the site was as basic as it could possibly be.
-
I'd like the DOA one for purely sexual reasons, but I highly doubt I'd actually shell out the money for one. :( The girls aren't even on it....
However, if they made an X-box with the team Ninja logo on it, i'd buy in a second.
-
I don't want the blue one BECAUSE of the DOA text and stuff.
But white would get dirty too quickly.
Bleh. Black works just fine for me.
-
I OFFICIALLY FUCKING HATE MICROSOFT!

I know. There is still a part of me that wants one though, as its one of two limited edition Xboxs released in the US.

That is the most God-awful shade of green I've ever seen...and that's saying something.

he was talking about the 2 posted in this thread no Icarusfall's xbox
it was in response to me saying why buy one of these 2 when you could get yours painted for much less
Icarus's Xbox was never brought into this

I feel the same. Though it would be kind of weird having a blue Xbox, and white is a more standard home A/V color. Kinda.
Oh, and didn't anyone else notice that you can get custom monogramming on the front-right corner of the white ones? Geez, I'm not sure what I'd want etched onto my Xbox for eternity. Maybe something wittay like "Munch a Taco" or "More Like COCK BOX."
-
Mine would have "matthewgood fan" on it.

Let me guess. You would have bought an Acclaim NES in the 1980s too.

I got confused, someone mentioned $100, and i immediately mentally tagged that on the ones for sale, because apparently i don't care enough about what is said to read carefully. Stupid me.

The SUPER limited edition Xboxs that Bill Gates gave out personally when the Xbox first shipped. The sort of look like the debug kits (translucent green with a black jewel) but with some cool styling and each signed by Bill Gates. They were only given to those that worked on the system for launch and stakeholders in its release.
I would kill for one. They are pretty kickass.
-
Yeah, I just saw one on eBay. Pretty nice... Too bad the price is already hell.

-
I better buy one soon, before they aren't unopened anymore.

Only if you bought them from the Sony Online Store. It's not like they were available at retail outlets.

You can get your name or short message imscribed on the white ones.

*hugs LE PDOrta Xbox*
*realizes he might bend the packaging*
*runs away screaming*
But seriously, it would be really nice if MS would give the US gamers that, you know, actually SUPPORT AND ARE BUYING the Xbox some cool LE stuff to pick up. I know they're trying to make some headway in Japan, but thats still no reason to give the rest of us the shaft. :cry:
