    Default Alpha II XBox - eBay

    http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...tem=8131596735

    Well, there goes my chances of winning it ;)

    Two days left, over $550, and the reserve STILL hasn't been met.

    I'd say it's worth more than it's going for by a long shot, of course.

    Anyhow, I thought this might interest most folks here in a general sense. You don't see these every day, after all.

    I would love to buy one of those for any of the new systems. I am too poor now to buy that kind of stuff.

    I wonder what the reserve is at? Hmmm....If I had extra money sitting around I'd probably pick that up ;D.

    Same here. Jesus, I really wish I'd been better at keeping my dough these last few years! I never needed any $650 Neo Geo AES

    I wouldn't be surprised to see Microsoft try to shut this auction down. Isn't it illegal or at least a contract violation to sell those things?

    keep bidding till you get to the reserve and then retract if you are not going to buy...

    friendly(?) advise from dr. evyyyl

    . Alpha Prototype my ass. These are just PCs with the dev kit software and a few propritary cards. Someone must have stolen or is illegally selling a standard issue dev kit. This has scam written all over it, plus it is illegal. We have like 20 of these in the lab by my office. Surprised this auction didn't get pulled early by Microsoft. They shut these down fast.

    That pretty much invalidates most of the description right there

    Well, it's still an expensive unit, and again not many would leak out into the general public :P
