New North American Crystal Xbox package

Found this on the Futureshop.ca website -- scheduled for release November 2nd.



Price is $249.99 CDN (roughly $199.99 USD), which seems a fair deal with Fable and Crimson Skies packed in.

Now, before I hear any whining about inability to order, they DO NOT ship to the USA.

However, it is a better than fair bet that if we are getting it in Canada (America Jr.), then it should be in Best Buy, Circuit City, WalMart and Target at or around that same date.

Otherwise, I look forward to the influx of cross-border traffic.

I don't think you're supposed to piss in it.

Not to be a downer or anything, but I can never understand why people get so worked up just because they put different colored plastic pellets into the injection molding machine.

not sure if people are worked up, but i can certainly appreciate people trying to be different.

again though, was this a mistake from futureshop? i can find no other reference to this set anywhere.

I am planning a Trip back Home (Upstate New York), maybe a slip past the border, for a quick pick up might be worth it

Looks nice. I'm a sucker for alternate colors (I 'waited' for the Platinum Gamecube).

Hey, it's just like mine, only a different color.

No, I won't be getting one.

No mistake...how do I know? Because I work at Future Shop and we have these in the back cage RIGHT NOW!!!! The XBOX itself looks pretty cool, but packaging those two games is a great move...much better than the holiday pack IMO... on Nov. 2 I'm picking up one of these bad boys...just in time for Halo 2... sweet.
