eth0_

Thinking about buying one of the Crystal Xbox's when they come out next month....has anyone seen anywhere taking pre-orders?

n1ck

Whats different about them?

Creamy Goodness

different casing i would think

Yep, just a clear plastic case, they're limited edition, out the 2nd week in March...

MS must really be getting desperate about sales heh
Wonder if they'll bring out limited edition Redhat XBox [Or maybe Mac/BSD?]... would bring up sales

Or.... Maybe a few good games.

elmer

there shouldn't be any problem buying one in the shops - think it's march 14 they're out

kensutz

Sweet, thanks for the info! They should be about 10% more than the black xbox...they come with 2 controllers you see.

Googled 'Crystal Xbox' last night and found a site that said it'd be released on the 14th of March at 199Euro.

Well if its not over priced like a certain Platinum PS2, then it seems pretty good

Wasn't there a see through green case xbox?

The crystal version looks nice but I'd prefer if you could see all the circuit boards and chips inside, like with the GB colour game cartridges.

zAbbo

There is that metail foil surrounding the xbox inards itself, is that what the see thru casing is showing

elmer

yeah there was a green one same time last year(got one myself) - it looks much nicer when you open it up and take the top metal shielding - then you can see the dvd drive and the hd

i don't think the platinium ps2 was overpriced as it came with a second joypad

elmer

Anyone find out the irish price of this and wheres it gonna be sold. 200 euros on some german sites, not bad considering it has 2 controllers and a 20GB hard drive

RobertFoster

probably €210

I saw a second hand Xbox for €99 in GAME the other day...worth it?

kaisersose77

where abouts is game in Dublin? im in westmeath and i wanna buy a secondhand xbox but i havent a clue where it is. And do they always have them in stock?

ps: was there any controllers or games with the one u saw been sold?

moridin

Henry St, bottom of Grafton St, and Dawson St

kaisersose77

Thanx for replying.Are they totally different to gamestop? I emailed gamestop and they said all there shops have stock of secondhand xboxs, ps2s. I think they have a shop in Galway which would be much easier for me, so has anyone seen what price they sell them secondhand for? And thanx again for replying

RobertFoster

I saw it in the GAME in the Blanchardstown Centre. There was only one there at the time, it didn't have it's proper box but an orange one they use for second hand consoles. I think only one controller.

You might be better off using Gamestop...I hate GAME :P

kaisersose77

anyone have a phone number for game? gamestop in galway are selling them for about 140 which seems a lot

i rang game and dont have any at the moment and the guy said that no one wants to sell their xbox

RobertFoster

that's because the guy in GAME is a tosser

kaisersose77

ye the guy who answered the phone wanted to give me the lifestory of the xbox
