Found this at a yard sale , different kind of xbox (?)

Picked up for my teenage son and he's never seen one before like this. What is it and is it valuable? Ty

 

It's an XDK.

A badly looked after one at that.

 

On the back it clearly says that it's an XBOX 360 XDK, a variant of the console that was given to developers. I'm not sure what the current market value is for one, which will be heavily determined by condition and whether or not it works. The case alone is fairly roughed up, someone has definitely treated it like a savage over its life.

 

Wow. Its only 2016 and we are already finding Xbox 360 XDKs at yard sales...

 

Xbox 360 test kit that someone obviously looked up some research about cause the PIX port cap has been removed. Man I don't even know what they must have used to open that hahaha, EEK! From the looks its a Zephyr test kit combine that with the condition and maybe 100-200? On a good day you could probably find the right person at 200 but I doubt it. At least that's where I would place it... Someone could do a case swap and it would be a nice looking kit . If it has any content, in development game builds, then the price could be more. Also depends on if it works. I assume it didn't come with the 213w psu you would need to power it? You'll have to track one of those down if you want to use it with that sidecar attachment.

Wish I could find stuff around me like that... Cool find man

 

^^^ Yep yep yep.

Best thing to do, if the person you bought it for equally doesn't know much about it, would be to sell it, its pretty useless if you intended on such things as playing on xboxlive and playing retail games, none of that can be done on it normally, best would be to sell it for like @drahcir said 100-200ish, however its still a really nice gem to have, and if you got it for dirt cheap, its worth putting in the effort to clean it up and display it

 

I paid $5 for it at a yardsale down the street lol. I thought it was something he could play on , I honestly know nothing about games I'm sorry. The last console I had was a super Nintendo lol.
Thank you all for the info though. .. my son says it does work and there is something it's running called XDK 1.2 and some European version of a grand theft auto game. It won't connect to xbox online or even to our wifi , no wireless capability and has to have a wired connection.

I guess I'll put in away and see if it's worth anything years from now

 

As per the rules, you need to post a validation photo.

Please update within 24 hours. Thanks!

 

Does this work? (So sorry)

 

No. It has to have some way of identifying that it's for Assembler Games. Something like "Assembler", "Assembler Games", "AG", something like that plus the date.

 

Actually, the price check validation is more relaxed. That's fine! Many thanks.

 

Any idea which GTA it is?

 

thats still a damn good find, i would love to have that

 

That particular system? In that condition? lolnop.

 

It's clearly been cracked open before, there's a chance it had RROD and had a cheap repair job. Nothing to complain about for $5 though.

 

Damn atlantic ocean making shipping expensive for us brits, I would have snapped that up off you for $90 but shipping kills it.

 

Do you think you could give us some more information about the Grand Theft Auto game on it?

I think you're better off selling it now than later on, because the 360 is going to be phased out eventually and the pricing for its dev hardware is likely to go down. It happened with the PSP - those development kits used to be $1000+, then the Vita came out and they dropped below $300.

 

Your son won't be getting very far with that console. Without ripping discs and patching their executables, it won't run retail games. It will also never connect to Xbox LIVE so he can't play with his friends. I'd recommend telling the forum a little bit more about the build on the console, because it may significantly increase the selling price of the console (Heck, it might even turn out to be worth more than the console itself by the look of it) and there'd probably be plenty members on this forum willing to trade/buy the console off of you. If the build on the console varies significantly from the final release of the game or is in Alpha state, you can expect to get quite a bit of money for it, or at least an Xbox ONE w/ a few games so your son can play online with his friends.

However, don't leave it too late. The Xbox 360 is getting discontinued very shortly I'd imagine, and when it does, the price of this kind of hardware will plummet as there are plenty available on the market in much MUCH better condition.
