Yet another LE Xbox that wont come to the US

>> There's a new Blue Special and Limited Edition Xbox in Canada. It looks like the Japanese Kasumi-Chan Blue Limited Edition, but without the dead-or-alive logo of course.

More information about this contest on riddickcontest.com

You can also buy this Blue Xbox in Canada if you sign-up for a 12-month 'Sympatico High-Speed' contract as you can see on this printed ad (thx to penguin318). For $189.95 this package will include:

One last method I found to get one of the these SE blue Xbox, is to check out 'The Holiday Game Squad' when they are coming in a town/store near you. There you can sign-up for the 'Ultimate Gaming Giveaway' for a chance to win a SHARP 37" AQUOS LCD and a LE Blue Xbox gaming system.

Thanks to xb0xb0y and penguin318 for the news.

MS is so awesome

I just don't get it.

Wow, Microsoft REALLY knows how to make great LE systems...

I had seen that...they are also selling it to new sympatico users...for $189 if you sign up. But I'm sure they'd sell it to you if you're a Sympatico user...

made bold for emphasis
;)

an xbox won't curry my favour to sign up with that shitty service thanks

Is MS trying to piss off American Xbox gamers? I was thinking about buying an Xbox for a while, but at this point I'm just going to wait until they show the US some love and offer me something special.

I'm sure Microsoft sees America as a platoon of mindless drones that will buy anything when people say "buy this", and therefore don't make any specialized local LE packages (aside from that gaudy mountain dew green one.)
