This little beauty came into our store this evening via trade-in. I have never seen one before. The guy that traded it in told me a friend gave it to him. I was swift to secure it for myself.
It is indeed a US machine, as I can confirm it plays US software. It has Xbox Live pre-loaded on the hard disk. It doesn't play CDR's, though.
It came with a green controller(not unlike the one that you can buy at stores).
Anyone? Beuller?
