WTF dude the japs get everything. And why? Because Xbox sells badly over there. HOW ABOUT REWARDING THE PEOPLE WHO HELD YOUR PRODUCT UP OFF OF THE GROUND YOU IDIOTS? I mean, seriously. The people who made the XBox a success got screwed with ****ty Thomson drives, and now they're still getting screwed out of awesome game bundles and now new designs. Come on MS, get with the freakin' program. Giving the Japs more stuff probably won't sell that many more Xboxes anyway. GIVE BACK TO THE COMMUNITY! :cuss:

Can a stencil and can of spray paint make your Xbox that cool translucent blue?:D j/k

The blue Xbox is the Tecmo Kasumi Blue Dead or Alive Ultimate Xbox and comes with a copy of Dead or Alive Ultimate. Thank the gods for Tecmo, if it wasn't for Team Ninja, I don't even think the Xbox would still be for sale in Japan. The only games to sell over a 100,000 copies in Japan are DOA3 and DOAX. Ninja Gaiden and DOAU should move some consoles in Japan.

First the Skeletor/Bill Gates launch Xbox, then the Panzer Dragoon Orta Xbox and now these two new Xbox's.:cuss: Then they got the PGR2/Halo bundle this holiday and we got the crapola Tetris/Clone Wars bundle. American Xbox fans are the backbone of the Xbox community and we don't get jack.:cuss:

Alright guys. Someone bring the chips, beer, porn, and twinkies. We're headed off on a road trip to Japan. Don't know what to do about the water situation though. Hmmmmmmmm? Ok, ok...............We'll tie tiny rafts together.......just a thought though..........we're gonna need a hell of a load of beer!

WTF man?! Is there any plan to get us Americans new and cool console designs? Watch some crap happen like I get my new one and a couple of weeks afterwards a super chameleon one is released. Oh well Ill just get a skin I suppose.:p

Silver? That one looks white to me...but, either way, it looks sweet.

Personally, I like my black beast...I have a chrome skin on it, too. I definately wouldn't buy a new XBox just so I can have a different color...unless mine is engulfed in smoke :eek:

GIVE BACK TO THE COMMUNITY! :cuss: i am with you buddy,what these japanese people needs is some more pokemon or yu-gi-oh crap,we are the real xbox fans and because of that,we deserve to have those nice looking xboxes,these bundles won't help xbox sales in japan instead make some rpg for them microsoft,so they can start buying xbox.:cuss:

Those still aren't going to sell over there because they are still big and the Japanese hate the xbox because it is big. MS should know by now, if they want to sell xbox in Japan they need to make it smaller.

Seriously Ms needs to start making full decisions that shows they are actually thinking. While these xboxes ars cool I see no reason why they should be limited. It's not like selling 100,000 xboxes is going to change something after all the limited edition are gone do they expect the Japanese to go and buy the black xboxes. These colors and box design seem to be attractive enough to sell over half a million each which totals to about one mlllion, even if they don't the count will be close. It certainly seems the new man in Japan is doing his work. Let's hope the American front can do as well.

The XBOX is larger than most japanese cars so thats a problem for them right there.

I've been pissed at Japan since my early Nintendo days. The reason we don't get the cool stuff (HALO BUNDLE?????? ARRRGH :cuss: ) is because Xbox does well here. But still, GCN has two different colors, I would have liked a blue Xbox.

P.S. I wouldn't reccomend spraypainted your Xbox.

:D Nice find. Thats cool and all, but I think I would choose my black xbox anyday over those two. this could be a really cool poll to see who likes what color the best... I think I would have to choose the white between those two colors. :)

My favorite is the white XBOX...though I'm pretty sure a white one was released in the US. It was a special edition white xbox with Panzer Dragoon Orta on it.

I like the blue DOA one the best. It looks crazey, but I think I would also stick with my Black One (its traditional).

I believe that Casper already posted a thread about this. Maybe a mod can add the two threads together.;)

Black and green are the colors that define our console. Blue and white doesn't look proper.

Hehe, uh guys, the Xbox isn't black, it's dark green :)

I like that blue Xbox, but I wouldn't buy one. Blue doesn't match my home theater set up.

George - use the search feature or at least check the 2nd page - since that's where this already was. I merged them though.
