I was just given an immaculate original Xbox manufactured in 4/2005. I was surprised by the lateness of the date. 360 was announced less than a month after this one was manufactured. Do we know when the last original Xboes were manufactured? Either my google-fu is weak or that doesn't seem to be published anywhere. Can anybody blow my mind with a super-late manufacture date?
That was the same month that NVIDIA abruptly ceased production of the GPUs and a big factor in Xbox 360 being rushed out the door by Q4 2005. It makes sense.
