Very sweet looking, but not for the us.

I can't see the pics (work filter) but I'm assuming it's the Pearl White and Kasumi Blue Xboxes from Japan?

The white one looks slick.. but I'm happy with my all black console setup.

Sales in the US is doing well, that means no marketing gimmick, no special editions, no limited packages, etc etc etc

I actually don't like clear electronics. When put in a home theater, they just stick out and look tacky IMO.

I wish companies would just stick with black and silver.

Thats a nice looking XBOX, it really is a shame stuff like that isnt released in the US.

Hell, even Nintendo and Sony don't bother releasing the cool color variants of thier consoles here.

Actually Sony DID release the cool colored PS2 in the US.. however they want $320 for them, and only on their website. Sucks too because if they were regular proced I would've bought the Mustang Yellow one in half a heartbeat.

GC has Black, Purple, and Platinum.. the only official one we missed was Orange.. again.. the color I would've bought if it had been released. There are other limited edition GC's in Japan, Teal for Tales of Symphony.. I can't remember any others.

I want the pink GBA-SP from Japan.

I have an x-box, and the black one looks just fine in my home theater.

It looks cool, but I definitely agree I would rather have the black one sitting in my home theater.

They're cool. I prefer the original with the black and green. Of course i don't own an Xbox so I guess it doesn't matter anyway.

Okay it looks nice, but I cant be the only one that thinks that dust is going to be a real pain in the arse with this one. I mean after one (1) day out of the box its never going to be 'clear' again.

I think the brushed aluminum XBOX looks the best.

You can get one with no hassle. GBAs are universal, there is no region ecoding at all, so they work world wide with all games. And, Japan and the US both run on the same 110v power supply. I have a pearl blue GBA SP that I bought from www.play-asia.com. $119+shipping ($8 standard; $20 for 2nd day).

I'm happy with the varients there are now in the US. Black is great, it goes with everything. Some of the other Nintendo colors are nice like Platinum, but Orange (Spice?) Gimmie break, thats just fugly

I think you want them just because they are only available in Japan

No, no.. it's cause they're Pink and Orange, I assure you.

I actually waited to get the original GBA until the pink one came out here.. Actually I just checked the pink GBA-SP it doesn't look that great so..
