    I remember a friend having one exactly like that. Wikipedia says this:

    "Units Available: 20,000 Manufactured - 5,000 sold (Europe)
    Retail Price: €229/£149

    On May 2, 2003 a Translucent Green Limited Edition Xbox(rare) was released in Europe to celebrate Xbox's one-year European birthday. The console came with two matching Controller S and retailed for €229/£149. It had a limited manufacture of 20,000 units but only sold 5,000 units(in Europe). The styling of the Translucent Green Xbox is identical to Debug Units used in game development; of course, the retail versions lacked the words "Debug Kit" on the front of the case. The green Controller S was also sold separately. The Translucent Green Limited Edition Xbox was also released in Canada and came with one matching Controller S and two games, Crimson Skies and Project Gotham Racing 2."

    Maybe it's one of those?

    Haven't seen one on sale anywhere before so can't say how valuable it is, but certainly it's worth more than the basic black and green one.

    It's an Xbox. I think I've seen one prior to this.
