It's A Nice Day For A White Xbox
21-OCT-02
Is the Xbox too big and black for your tastes? We can't do anything about its size, unfortunately, but Sega is doing something about the color: starting next month they'll be taking orders for a limited edition Xbox system that's whiter than Pee-Wee Herman in his heyday.
The new Xbox color is part of Sega's marketing campaign for Sega Direct, their newly-reorganized online shopping site (formerly called Dreamcast Direct). The system isn't exactly 100% white, though: it's themed after Panzer Dragoon Orta, so the top face features the PDO logo and a bit of the game's ancient-fossil designs. Not to mention that giant black Xbox "jewel," of course. The package also comes with a copy of the PDO game, along with an AV component pack and a special PDO dragon's-head necklace.

Unfortunately for gamers over here, this Xbox package will be rather difficult to get your hands on. Sega's only making 999 units, and they plan to sell them all off in online reservations beginning November 1. The system will cost 35,800 yen (about $287) and ships out to customers December 19. If you want one, we suggest finding a Japanese friend and a gigantic wad of cash very soon.

An artist's rendering of the limited edition Xbox. Yea, 'tis as if they dipped Microsoft's noble system (with controller) in a steaming vat of pure white chocolate. It's so yummy, we could just eat it up!

Sega's debuting a whole bunch of knick-knacks for the November 1 launch...such as these phone straps with miniature Sega consoles attached to them. If you can name all the systems on the right-hand one, you probably need to get out more.

No he ment that xbox is basically dead there so white xboxs wont help it get back up off the ground. But I bet if they did that in usa or canada it would help but not japan.
