    Thats absolutely nuts. I know the currency was not in yen however...

    Are the blue xbox's really worth that much? I happen to own a canadian version and was not aware that they were this pricey... Or we got the price wrong haha.

    Play-Asia had them at $~100 last week.
    All gone now though.

    Didn't know it was worth that much. Should have got two.

    Edit: Glad to see you finally sold your smoke on XS. :)

    Aww shit... I feel stupid, I really wanted an asian one with the black jewel. Oh well. I know they are really hard to find. It took me a few months to find an halo 2 LE system alone... So I take it you bought one? Were they selling them used or new?

    Whats your X-S screen name anyways?

    But yeah thats a deal if you got one for around 100$ Im still wondering how much those one's above are in USD and if its correct? It seems way off but ya never know.

    Oh yeah I bought one. They were selling them as new with possible box damage but mine had been rummaged through. I tried to turn it on and the hard drive started clicking and froze at the flubber screen. It's fixed now, it looks great, but it pissed me off.

    I got banned on X-S, no idea why. Was talking in a Wii thread when the Wii was released and then I could never log in again. Now I just lurk.

    Did you have to replace the hard drive? And did the xbox come sealed? I would love to see some pictures!

    I replaced the HDD with a 320 that I had sitting under my desk (I don't recall ever seeing it before).

    The box had no seal, or residue left from a seal, or tears.etc at either end. Appears to have been manufactured that way.

    I might do that tonight when I get home from work, and once I find batteries for my camera. I have everything but the box at home.

    While I'm at it I'll grab a few photos of my other xboxes.
