Hey - I have a couple of pieces that I don't see anywhere else on the web. Have you seen or heard of these?

First is the XBOX prototype replica model in machined and polished metal with illuminated XBOX logo - don't know how many of these were made but I got mine while working on the XBOX launch. The original working XBOX prototype was about 18"x18"x18 machined out of metal and looked just like the replica only larger - it couldn't help but make an impression on potential developers and publishers who saw it. Have any one of you seen another prototype replica around anywhere?

Second is the XBOX "Collector Series Official Trading Card" full set made availible only (?) at E3 2001. It says "Collect all 16" but for marketing purposes no card #13 was made. I haven't found any others of these on the web anywhere.

Hey Kamshaft - do you mean the full-sized prototype or the replica in the pic above? Did you see it recently or as part of the original developer roadshow back in 2000-2001?

It's in a glass case at Microsoft, that's where I saw it last year
