Wow. That's an amazingly bright color. I thought it would be more of a just clear, but it seems to be completely see through. Sweeeeeet.
If I could justify getting another one, I probably would. But I know that I can't. I'm glad that MS has started the limited edition console thing over here though -- some of the Dreamcast ones were so neat looking, and we only got the goofy sports one.
So where can I get one of these things...very cool 8-)
Oh, wait, does Canada use NTSC?

Yes they use NTSC.
If the US doesnt see these, I must import one.

I want one.
Too bad I already have 2 xbocks, a regular one (modded) and a halo one.

That's nice. $250 Canadian means that it would be under $200 U.S I think.
Also on an unrelated note, why did some DP members get their posts reset?

Those do look sweet. It would get along nicely with my Halo Xbox, my orange (painted) Xbox, and my green (skin sticker) Xbox. Why do I need another one? I don't, but it's nice to dream. LOL

Long story short, It was part of a whole deal involving post counts, fruit, and +1 posting. So some members willingly had their post counts reset as to show that post counts arent important.
Search for the "Memorandum" thread to get the whole scoop.

Why we would use a different TV system when we are neighbors ?

Yes we use NTSC but the power supply is unique to Canada (12 Hz) since we all live in Igloos and use generators for power. Hope this helps :)

I guess there will be a lot of collectors hitching up the dogs, breaking out the snow shoes and heading north this winter.
LOL

perhaps I could try to barter with the natives. I'll bring some furs and buffalo meat.

Bring stuff we need... we've got plenty of the furs, meat and maize...

So...now i"m considering getting one...but it's a lot to spend on a system I already have...but it's so pretty!
Also, if anyone WANTS one of these, I'd be willing to pick them up and ship em to you for cost plus a few bucks (maybe $10-20) to help out my recently established "Buy Nate a new Crystal Xbox" support fund!
