I wouldn't plan on it. The only reason they released the different colored one in Japan is because of the Xbox's overall poor sales there. They know that a lot of the Japanese like to collect things like that.

There was also a batch of green special editions made for the US at launch time. They are marked as special editions on the outside and have a special jewel on top in place of the Xbox jewel on the black retail boxes.

A few of these have hit eBay in the past, but they arent easy to come by.

I think those were originally only available for purchase by those who worked on the xbox in some way or else those who worked for MS in general.
