My buddy's find today...al Xbox

sorry captions swapped.

 

sorry if these are boring for you, and slightly not HW related. I'll dig through the archives and look for some more photos of HW...

BillG giving a speech later in the day at the MSKK launch event.

 

I meant more for the controller compared to the console, like we talked about earlier. Will be sorting through everything you sent me and posting it up here too, minus some of our fluff

 

Here is a color matching action shot if you can imagine it... the milky white unit was glow in the dark.

 

That is wild hah

 

Another stunning one.

 

random.

 

Rather than email you this, any idea how many Partner units were made? We know it isn't a whole lot

 

@Borman, Not sure if that was what you were talking about with the grey controller versus a skeleton controller. This was only for the Japanese market, for the same reasons mentioned.

 

Wasnt much of a question other than being surprised it didnt come out here (I have a few myself )

 

This one I am really fuzzy on. I think we made a few pallets and had the higher ups send them out for Christmas to partners. There are a ton of stickers there, but probably less than 1000, maybe even less than 500. I would have just had the stickers/jewels made, sent to the factory, then had them stick them on and someone else would have dealt with it since it was just regular colored consoles, if I remember correctly.
Sorry I am so blanked out on a lot of this stuff, there were some good times, some bad times and too much bad mou tai and tequila at times.
I'm probably going to disappear for about a week, but should be back next week.

 

No problem at all. Some information is better than none. Partner kits were another one where we knew the numbers were off enough from what was published, but still werent figuring that a lot were made.

Disappointed that none of these things have shown up in my area, since Im right near Selkirk. Guess they actually valued the contract hah.

 

Hi mmm206, thanks for coming forward with more information! These pictures are fantastic, and I hope there's more to come. Borman and myself have been looking for solid information for ages so, thanks heaps for joining us for this! These pictures are fantastic!

Can you roughly remember any other colours you may have tested/produced?

 

I got that covered in stuff I havent posted yet Hex

"There were a couple other really wild colors shot, candy apple red, and a semi clear with color shifting bead filler. Red came out ok, but just looked odd. The color shifting beads just looked bad."

 

We shall talk about this stuff soon, just got back from work

 

can only speak for myself but any photo's HW or otherwise are very much welcome certainly not boring

 

So is the shiny DVT3 jewel just a sticker too?

 

Glow in the dark would have been wicked cool. Man it seems like it was a candy factory for making console shells

 

I was thinking the same thing, probably a few awesome ones never came through. Wish orange did though, it's my favourite colour. Curse you BGates!

Just joking Bill you're awesome
