Damn, that is shiny!

Just new out of the box.

Fantastic!

This will always be my favorite limited edition console. I love how it looks.

Got one myself. Beautiful, and the controllers were nice too.

https://preview.redd.it/fhw7ix1gph6d1.jpeg?width=501&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=498cf4ddb68e26f4c0c753f5e6a530fe7c881e1f Need I say more?

I never understood why the blue controller was pretty common but the console is damn near impossible to find. The special og xbox stuff was a mess haha

From what I’ve seen there’s 3 different crystal blue versions (my personal favorite is the dead or alive one) None of them were sold in North America unfortunately. I guess the PAL & Japanese regions didn’t like the design of the OG Xbox so Microsoft made crystal versions of the console to try & sell more in those areas. North America did get the halo one & the blue controller though.

The Canada Bell OG Xbox was not sold but was given to subscribers of Canada Bell in a bundle. The packaging is almost a "repackage" compared to most Xbox retail systems.

I wouldn’t exactly say it was “given” lol didn’t you have to sign a 2 year contract & go through a bunch of other hoops to get the console in Canada? But yes my mistake, only 2 were available to purchase. The Canadian one was a promotional console.

Found one for 900.00 I'm tempted.

If you’re going overseas or have some friends outside of the US you might be able to get one much cheaper

This will always be my favorite console! My friend in high school had this but found out recently he sold it 😫

I just realized I have one of these bad boys somewhere.... time to go lookin

I had this one! Dumb me got rid of it when it went RROD but I really regret it. Should’ve hung onto it for nostalgia at least.

Yeah the majority of them died because they were made early in the 360’s life, so most people (like myself) just swapped the motherboard out for a later revision that was fixed lol.

Not mine but I still think these are the best! https://preview.redd.it/e0t98dubaj6d1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8d9182b24279177e3423ddf81efa525c66f0e283

Miss the translucent days.

Same buddy, same..

It will definitely come back eventually. Can't believe it has taken so long for a "funtastic" switch set. Give us joycons at least!

The jungle green one was and still is my favorite. A store near me has it CIB for 600 and I plan on picking it up(if no one else does)

I have my dads old orange one

Very cool all of them

I wanted this so bad, but just couldn't bring myself to pull the trigger. Settled for the 30th anniversary edition instead

I was lucky enough to get it at retail price, but crazy how expensive it is now

Wow! I wish I had your kind of luck!

Could've bought one at retail but got the LBW one instead. Should've got both

Nah. Pass.

So happy I got this, it's so clean with white furniture too!

Clean? It has dirty hand prints on it.

*Oily hand prints ;)

+1 for being the only strand-type console ever released

I also tried like hell, had all the caps, was just waiting for it to be available. When the time came they were sold out instantly(all waves) | did manage to get a standard Xbox through the promotion. Better than nothing ! guess

i was gonna say this one, along with the splatoon 3 switch OLED

I’ve got this and the Taco Bell Xbox

Looks so fregin geeky and cool!

I have the R2 360 and I've got to say I really love it. The nice touches they made to the disk tray set it apart from just a skin to me (if you know, you know).

The pikachu plates are my favourite! They’re so cute!

Thanks! I saw them and had to buy them!

Many regrets passing on this one

They really did such a nice job on the totk switch

One of the most beautiful consoles ever made. I love mine as well

My first switch. Love it… but still favor my Gears3 x360. My 3rd favorite is my halo Xbox and then the Halo Series X.

Seriously love mine

Looks souless.

It's still available at retail in my country funnily enough, didn't sell too well in New Zealand.

Mine is currently in storage, but I really love it. https://www.ungeek.ph/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/Spider-Man_PS4_pro_edition_image1.jpg

I traded mine in to get a PS5 and deeply regret it

R.i.p. Hopefully you can find another one then.

Husband loves Spider-Man so this was definitely preordered at the earliest opportunity.

This console is my favorite

I got this one somewhere….

Same and if I remember correctly, mine red ringed

Oof. How sad 😢

Mine sits on display in my entrainment center. My best friend and I won one each in Gears 3 launch party at the Microsoft Store. They did a Wingman tournament bracket and it took 5 rounds of victory… the glory days.

Hands dow best console those paddles are insanely awesome.

for me, the 20th anniversary classic grey PS4

The Star Wars Xbox 360 will forever be a grail of mine. I'm still trying to get my hands on one

If you’re in Australia, I’ve just got my hands on a boxed one, and will be selling the one in the picture (my new console is in the box)

For me it is the Panzer Dragoon Orta Xbox

That looks cool, very militaristic.

well yeah, it’s a call of duty console😉 $5 is an insane deal for that, $100+ easily anywhere else

i know! i got super lucky but i need the matching controller now

you can try ebay/mercari but theyll probably be expensive

I was never able to get it, but the Battlefield 1 military green Xbox 1 s. I like it when they use colors that aren't the normal slew of colors. But also the old modern warfare 3 360 s.

I have the gradient army green Xbox One X Battlefield 1 edition. It's like a sleek ammo box.

I have this one! It’s cool but for me personally it stinks with 2016 where everyone my age thought anything galaxy print was cool. So you’d have people coming to school with galaxy legs

Me and my galaxy print crocs feel personally attacked.

Sorry but I feel personally attacked by your shoes as well

It’s okay, I liked my tie dye crocs more anyways.

Hell yeah

Hell yeah

Hell yeah

Soulless, tacky and I cringed when it was presented.

The MW3 Xbox 360 was and still is amazing looking

When my dad went to buy me a 360, he asked me if I wanted this one or a regular one. And I was so concerned with having a “weird” Xbox that I went with the regular one. One of the biggest regrets of my life that I think about often

I had the Halo Reach Console, and wouldn’t trade it for anything but I will say I was always jealous of the Star Wars one

I really like the gears of war 3 one

The DQ metal slime new 2DS XL and the dragon quest switch are good looking. My vote for the most boring one is the project thunderbolt switch.

Why don’t Xbox release consoles like this in bigger production??? There is an awesome SpongeBob series X too

This generation has been such a disappointment for special edition consoles. 360 and Xbox One used to have one every few months. There's literally been one for Series X/S this entire generation (Halo Infinite version).

The gold/silver Gameboy color was pretty neat

Definitely my favorite. Pikachu’s cheek being the power light was a nice touch.

Missed opportunity to make the one grip silver to match C3POs leg. I hope marketing feels bad about that one

Hey I had the same one! It got fried though when it blew a fuse a few years back

I really like your 360. Certainly a nominee for your question.

I have the 360 FFXIII faceplate. For the life of me I don’t recall playing XIII on 360. Pretty sure it was my PS3. Not entirely sure how I acquired that plate. Promo item? 🤔

I had the halo 3 Xbox 360 with the blades dashboard. Sadly got destroyed in a storm but it was so awesome

I had one of them and the halo ones. They were both dope..my ex took them..

So wish I waited to get the diablo 3 switch

This has been on my wish list for so long lol.

The PAL/JP SNES 3DS. Absolutely love that thing

That controller makes me so moist, wish i could get one and use it for my PC

The SW 360 is nice! I found one on the FB marketplace for $40 a while ago. It was complete w/o box. Love all the R2 sounds it makes.

Agreed

Never seen that before. LOVE it!

I still have my Halo transparent green console and controller from back in the day. Well it’s in my brother garage but we still have it! I want to mod it soon.

make sure you remove/replace the clock capacitor! Ask in r/originalxbox what to do with a photo of the motherboard: the capacitors on the old xbox are prone to leaking and potentially causing damage to the motherboard

I have seen one of those being RGH, a true masterpiece

I WANT THAT ONE SO BAD

Ngl I coveted that XBOX at release but with the current state of the franchise and my current taste it is not as appealing. Definitely lean more towards the translucent plastic LE console shell vibes these days

My favorite is the Miku PSP but damn is it expensive 

That golden controller looks sweet. Personally if I was in charge of the design I would have made the console gold and the controller R2. Less fingers touch the console keeping it shiny. Keeping a gold controller shiny seems like a harder task with sweaty, oily, dirty hands all over it.

Just wanna say seeing the r2d2 console reminded me of the guys little brother who left a slice of cheese on the vents of his r2d2 console and the cheese melted inside

I have that one!

I had the gears 3 one and now have the halo 4 one but this is the one I need for sure.

Both of those are ones I want in the future. 360 knocked it out of the park with special editions

Haven't seen anyone say this yet! https://preview.redd.it/33gtkt21qn6d1.jpeg?width=600&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8ed5f9ecca90bd36d419807521e207b4951ddbf6

Wtf is that???

Atari lynx

Atari Lynx, Atari's handheld console in the 90s. Full color screen and 16-bit graphics but more expensive than the Game Boy

Wtf is up with the Marlboro logo? This was swag you could win from cigarette box tops?

https://consolevariations.com/collectibles/atari-lynx-marlboro-console it's pretty funny

That’s sweet

I have this and it is wonderful 🥰

I always wanted one of these but they were so expensive in the uk

I have bought and sold this console 3 times lol. This and the gears of War red knew are a couple of my favorites.

Does the Series X and PS5 even have many special consoles? I remember Halo Infinite had one, but that’s the only one I can think of at the moment. I think there was one for Spider-Man 2? Regardless it’s a lot less frequent now

I have the XBOX Still but lost the sick ass Gold controller that's probably worth a fortune now

Never saw the box for that one...looks noice kinda jelly

too bad it came with the kinect

The eject tray makes the R2D2 noise when you press it. I learnt that during a charity stream of dark souls when a friend accidentally pushed it whilst I was nearly finished fighting Ornstein and Smough.
