The other day at work, we got in a limited edition GTA4 Xbox 360. Needless to say, I snatched it up for 80 bucks. Does anyone have any information about this? http://imgur.com/UIAKEKE http://imgur.com/1yWCcem
I edited your post slightly, as it was sounding suspiciously like you were trying to circumvent the marketplace rules. It was a limited run of 500 Elites, given away to press, using car paint and individually numbered. http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/21/microsoft-unloads-500-gta-iv-xbox-360-elite-consoles/ http://www.freshnessmag.com/2008/03/26/xbox-360-grand-theft-auto-iv-gta-4-edition/ If it's not complete with the briefcase, it's going to have a significant effect on its value. Still a nice item, though... and worth more than a standard Elite!!
Xbox 360 had a few of these kind of limited editions. The most popular are probably the GTA IV and the Simpsons movie consoles, but there are a few more like the PGR or Dark knight editions.
There are a whole lot more than just a few. Xbox 360 has an insane amount of European and US limited designs, some of which exist only in the single digits.
Actually these can be seen on ebay from time to time. I saw one of these consoles with RROD last year on ebay. The seller wanted 399$.
Yeah but eBay people over price things its only sometimes when you get a deal. When i saw the Simpsons movie console i wanted really bad but who knows how many were made.
This. There are a ton of them and there are actually 3 different GTA4 SE Xbox 360 consoles. The OP has the most common one, as there are 500. The rare ones are the Lost and the Damned edition (which looks similar to the OPs) and the plain GTA4 console that is just glossy black with the words GTAIV and which is probably the hardest to find. I see these for sale every so often even in the UK these will pop up. And that metal briefcase doesn't actually go with the console, that is something else entirely so it doesn't effect the value at all. Remember 500 were made and definitely not 500 briefcases. The briefcase is just something I believe press people got like they often do and that site just took a picture of them together.
Wow i didn't know they had a Lost And The Demned one from i see there were only 190 Made. for the other one with just the GTA IV words i do know how many as it does not say nice to know this i didn't know thanks.
Wooooah, hold up. There was a PGR one? Well, shit. That's definitely going to be something I hunt for in the future, because I was a huge fan of PGR.
You could only get it by winning a competition. I don't know how many were produced, but they are very rare. Here is a page about the competition http://arstechnica.com/gaming/2006/02/2828/
