Thought the collector types might get a kick out of this. A friend texted me recently saying that he found this orange original Xbox at a swap meet and wanted me to photograph it. He originally thought it was just a modded system with a custom shell, but it actually has the official Microsoft and Halo markings on it.
He's been requesting help on researching the origin over at places like ASSEMBLERgames and from what he's learned, this is apparently the only one discovered at the moment with the Halo Edition brandings. I guess he's been getting insane offers for it too, highest so far being $15K. No idea what the hell he's going to do with it, but I kind of hope he keeps something that's as rare as this.
