  • So I bought a BRAND NEW Launch Edition Xbox 360 console from eBay... I'm excited for this one! I bought my first Xbox 360 in 2009, so I never experienced the unboxing of the launch Xbox 360 console. Since it's a Brand New Launch Edition Xbox 360, it should be on the Blades dashboard... nostalgic! Let me know in the comments what your favorite Xbox 360 dashboard is.

    i collect machines like these, If it has a developer/publisher label on the corner like that, it 99% of the time means it was either an in-house console used for testing the game on a retail console, or it would be used to showcase games at press events or expos like E3 Etc.

    The Midway sticker, copy of Stranglehold, and overall condition of the unit implies this may have been a free console that was given to members of the development team as a thank you for their work on the game. My guess is that the CA number on the sticker is some kind of employee number or possibly a location reference. Perhaps the CA stands for California or Canada?

      I find your last statement to be rather odd. The Xbox 360s were manufactured from 2002-2011. The blades dashboard was first released with version 1.28 of the dashboard. Upon further research I found that this update was released on Nov. 14 initially for already existing Xbox systems. When I looked up the manufacturer website for IE Systems, the factory used to produce Xbox systems, I found that batches made from Nov. 12-19 2005 actually did not ship with the blades dashboard but the experimental slice dashboard that was later phased out only 20 days after release.

  • @Kevin-sw7bx

    I am assuming that is an asset tag from Midway. Used for tracking inventory of items owned within the company. The scannable upc bar would have information of what department the Xbox was assigned to. I think that adds to its value. That’s gaming history right there. Good find!

  • @HeroinBob91
    @HeroinBob91 Před 2 lety +51

    The sticker is an asset tag companies use to keep track of their hardware. Companies usually have dev/test kits for their purposes but they also buy retail units for various purposes. It’s a safe bet this console was bought by midway, used for whatever purpose, then put in storage and forgotten for a while before it was found and sold.

    I had an Xbox 360 512MB Memory Unit. My brother and I both had a 360. He got the Premium set (with its 20GB HDD) around launch, and I got the 120GB Elite model a while after that version released. It was before they added support for using any USB falsh drive as a Memory Unit, so I would use official Memory Unit to bring my profile and saves between consoles.

    Those manuals I'm fairly sure should have come in the sealed bag that you found under the console, also the sticker from the disc drawer isn't there? Plus wire tags would have been on all the cables... I think that's a slightly used example rather than new.
    That sticker is probably an internal unit Midway had to test final retail games as you said. The dashboard may have updated with Stranglehold which was a 2007 game from memory

    I had an arcade 360 in the UK that I got for Christmas in 2008. Came with a memory card and the blades dashboard. I was honestly amazed as a kid that my memory card was 256 MBs as my PS2 only had 8.
    Took me a good few months to get it onto Live so I was surprisingly familiar with the blades dashboard before which made this video surprisingly nostalgic. I really miss this era of UI design and packaging, it just felt so much more alive.

    There are several discrepancies that indicate that the system is not brand new, not sure if you noticed these but might help other people looking for brand new systems.
    Manual isnt sealed and was cut up it should all be in the plastic.
    Plastic covering the console is crumpled, MS packaged the systems really tightly so it will be smooth if it was just removed once to check.
    Asset tag from midway
    The system wont be scratched if it was covered in plastic.
    Foam pads looks in terrible condition.
    Chances are the system belonged to Midway and was used to demo their games in a kiosk (will look very new)
    PS This comes from experience dealing with selling xboxes back in the day, we had to test each system before it left the store due to RROD (yes we got dead consoles on launch) unboxed hundreds of them

    My buddy got one on launch day in 2005. Kmart had a midnite launch and you could only get in if you had a ticket, which you got when you pre ordered and fully paid off the the core or the "fancy" one as people called it then. They only had about 100 units. My friend waited in line for a few hours in the snow in a long line which went from the parking lot all the way to electronics which took forever. People tried to sneak in without tickets and where taken out. That day later his friend at work told him his edition, the fancy/ pro one, was selling for one thousand on eBay. He called me debating but decided to keep it. His edition got the red ring early sadly. I myself waited and picked up the slim edition on launch.

    Man this brings back lots of great memories from my childhood, I bought a second hand core 360 circa October 2007 with money I used saved over the summer working various jobs as a teenager. It was exactly like this one, plain white, no hdd and a wired controller but I had an additional 256MB memory card for my gamer profile and save games.
    Once I got the console I modded it and used to burn bootleg games onto dual layer dvds which were extremely hard to find where I lived and had to order them via ebay and wait a couple of weeks for a batch of dvds. Yes I know it was wrong but it was the only way I could ever afford playing games back then with my limited resources.
    It red ringed on my in 2009 I think. Never bought a 360 since but I'm currently trying to play all of the games I missed on my Series S. ❤

      I used to burn games for modded 360 as well. I bought a computer and the 360 from a guy back in 2013 who would mod the consoles and set everything up on the PC so you could burn games. I had GTA weeks before the release. I spoiled it like an asshole for all my friends. LoL.

    When I got my 360 we were fresh off the memory card era. We had memory cards from ps1, ps2, dream cast, and Xbox. So I bought this version and a 64mb memory card thinking I was good to go. While it saved my games I couldnt install many things on the console. Like the avatar creator,

    The core pack had no memory/storage. You needed to purchase either a HDD or memory card in order to store profiles, save games, DLC etc. It was replaced with the arcade pack that originally came with a 256mb memory card or 256mb internal storage in later reversions. You can't stay on the older dashboard forever. You'll soon encounter a game that will require you to update to a newer version in order to play.

    I know they put in the description that it was "brand new" but due to it being an open box most likely the seller tested the system to make sure that it worked before it was shipped out.
