Microsoft celebrating its second year on the northern continent with cool-as-ice console.

Just weeks after Microsoft announced two special-edition Xboxes for the Japanese market, details have emerged about a new limited-issue Xbox for Europe. The "Crystal Pack" will feature a clear, translucent console and two controllers with the same frosty, Fortress-of-Solitude-style finish.

According to reports, the Crystal Pack will go on sale on March 14th, the second anniversary of the Xbox's launch in Europe. While the console's packaging states it will be a limited edition, Microsoft has released no details about a price point or how many units will be put on the market.

Haha. That's my point too. We all complain, but really, would we buy that crap?

Besides, I think all of the special edition Xbox's so far are OOOOGLY!

That looks really nice. I'd love to have that but reading the news that the XBOX will be $99 by Labor Day, I'll wait before picking another up again. Nice find though. :cheers:

I've said it before and will say it again....Microsoft, you need to be giving back to your biggest fanbase. That is, US, remember us, the American consumer? Where is my limited edition Xbox?

Forget Japan and the UK, hook me up!

:huh: :cuss:

I would like for MS to throw us a bone also. I don't like the green one, but I would like others to have the option to buy.

This has already been posted in the GD forum. I'm going to merge these two threads together.

Hey, up yours Trash Can! Canada sells a better percentage of Xbox to PS2/GC than the US! Sure, our entire population is barely the size of LA, but hey, we're who really drives the XBox economy; just ask Mike Rowe, he has all the stats.

Besides, you live in Mexico or some dumbass thing like that...you're not even American, you cervaza drinkin' son of a *****!
*Disclaimer: No Mexicans were actually insulted in the making of this post.

Cut off the first and last parts of your post and I agree! Canada has a much bigger percentage of Xbox compared to PS2/GC. Almost everyone I know wants an Xbox, even the people who have a PS2. There are still some who just won't see the light. Damn those idiots! :mad:

I still own one though. That's good :D.

Ya know, I'm still left wondering why North America never gets all the special edition things. Japan and the UK get way to many special edition consoles and promo's. :mad:

I guess its time to talk to my Importer again. :cheers:

I would buy that Xbox in a second! Look how cool it looks. Some things are worth the extra buck. I always buy cool looking things. Phones, watches, etc., etc...

This may sound like I'm kidding, but I'm serious. I think that XBox is sweat! I bet we get a nip at them if they are a sucess abroad! Here's to a little optomism! :cheers:

We should get a petition starting stating that the US is getting jewed out of all the special edition consoles and such...all we have gotten is the original XBOX with 2 ***s that people rarely play...come on I'd buy another xbox if it was that clear thing thats just awesome

Check out the picture of the box...it shows two XBox controllers, too. So, I would imagine that it has to be a tad more expensive than the normal XBoxes due to the extra hardware...besides, I guess it is also limited edition, too...so, that alone may make the price point higher.

By the way, I just dropped a U-571 in the toilet before posting this. :cool:
