Well i'm really disapointed in Bill Gated to have released a Special Edition XBOX in Japan but not here. I would of loved to purchased one of those babies.......... but heyyyyyyy i guess that's life.
But apparently there was a Special Edition XBOX for us that leave in North America but i haven't seen it anywhere........... maybe it's Developers Console or a Microsoft emplyee exclusive...... take a look :

thats a xboxdeveloper only version, personllay signed by bill gates.
Only people that had a chance to buy that were the ones that worked on the box.

I thought that the Developers kit was Clear See Threw and Black See Threw console. Also how can you explain the SPECIAL EDITION writen on the XBOX. I have seen a Dev Kit being sold on eBay and it didn't look like that at all........

Its just like a regular xbox, only with billys copied signiture and could only be purchased by a few MS people who helped on making the xbox, like skoot said. I still wouldnt use the baby tho, id let it set in some airtight bag and sell it later...or wait a longer time and sell it to a museum...hey, its a piece of history :D

its not the developers kit (aka the debug kit) but its for the developers of the actual xbox

Thats not a dev kit!! the dev kit is black see thru not green see thru!!!! I think this may either be genuine, or a SH*T good hoax.

Skoot's correct. You'd think the guy could've hooked it up to another brand of TV ;) :)

And this is the debug kit:
