    I can honestly say I'm completely at a loss for words this is the most generous gift I have ever received a complete set of chrome foxdata series one. These were never actually released for sale because of a problem with the chroming process I am the first person in North America to have this set it goes great with my set of series two.

    That looks amazing. Too bad it was never offered to the public. Can you take a video?

    I'm not a fan of chrome myself, but that yellow and black hydro-dipped controller look great.
    Are the pads treated all over, or did they cheap out and skip the bottom half?

    They are normal N64 controller that have been chromed / hydro dipped by a company in the U.K. In 1997 the company was called fox data these are some of the most collectable controllers on the planet and are very expensive the non chrome controllers cost me $1400

    Oh man, I would love to play some of the classic N64 on that console. I know emulation is there (Project64, which I am a great fan and player), however, nothing beats having the original N64 console, and having such amazing chrome N64 would trully refresh all my best memories of my childhood playing on my N64 with my little brother. But are these for sale anywhere?

    I think judging by the video that this is a one of a kind (well almost) there hasnt been any for sale online at least. Chances of getting one would be slim to none. The non chrome special editions are hard to find but not as hard, 2 sold this month on ebay for about £130-150.

    They were only sold in the UK so bear that in mind when looking as well

    Didn't Nintendo power once feature a chrome controller or had a contest to win one.

    I expected these to look absolutely disgusting and gaudy, but man, those look really nice. Especially the console and the matching controller. Amazing pieces.
