Debug Kit

Units Available: Unknown
Retail Price: Not for resale

Xbox Debug Kits were never available through the retail market, however they have popped up enough on the second-hand scene to be worth mentioning in this article. These Xbox consoles are translucent green and have the words "Debug Kit" on the front of the case, just to the right of controller port 4. Unlike retail consoles (which only contained 64MB of RAM), Xbox Debug Kit consoles had 128MB of RAM. The Debug Kits could not run retail game discs. One could often find pre-release or cancelled versions of game software on these Xbox Debug Kits.

Partner Edition
Retail Price: Not For Sale
Units produced: ~1000 (Thought to be closer to 60 units)

The Partner Edition is a translucent green Xbox with a jewel that is silk screened with the message "Thanks for Partnering with Xbox" and signature from Bill Gates. Unlike the Launch Team consoles, these did not have the "Special Edition" label on the front right of the console. This Xbox was given to hardware companies that produced components for the Xbox such as Nvidia and Intel. A translucent green Controller S was included with this model. These are considered to be more rare than the Launch Team console because of their distribution to companies rather than individual people makes them harder to come across in the world.

I don't know much about this other than Ed Fries was the Vice President of game publishing at Microsoft during the Xbox's life. As you may imagine, if you're a high level executive delivering a product you may have to call in a few special favors along the way. What better thank you to certain people than a personalized xbox thank you note?

Japan got most of the special editions in an attempt to get them to accept the Xbox. That never happened in the numbers that Microsoft needed. Japanese gamers have always prefered Japanese companies such as Sony or Nintendo.

Halo (Translucent Orange, US)
Units Available: 1

Retail Price: Not for resale

Found while visiting a garage sale (in Redmond, Washington) on July 27, 2014, a translucent orange Halo Special Edition original Xbox console was found and purchased. Pictures comparing the console to a Halo Translucent Green version have been posted at the Assembler forums.[6] This has been proven to be a legitimate system, and the thread at the Assembler forums show images of several of these orange Xbox case tops at the factory as production samples. It appears that only 1 of the Orange Xbox consoles escaped destruction. As this is an actual Microsoft produced Xbox from a mold (instead of a painted case), this is likely to be the rarest Xbox console in existence. A video can be seen on YouTube, on the channel "MetalJesusRocks", titled "Ultra Rare HALO XBOX DISCOVERED!" posted on April 24, 2015.

The previous owner (Emilio) sold it(for $15,000.00), got $9K upfront and opened his own gaming consignment shop. He is still waiting for the remainder of the cash. But the new owner is some girl who owns a competing gaming consignment shop. It's a museum of sorts, but not like you'd think. It's currently located in Renton WA

the EA xbox live white had a quantity of more than one. the OP talking about it was somewhere in the USA. There is one relatively close to where I live. I'm thinking there were probably 50 or so in total made, given out to the top EA people in each region.

Can confirm I won a limited edition painted Xbox from a Microsoft sponsored fun run. It featured Brutus from the game Brute Force, laser printed (I assume), on the right of the console, and a car on the left. I am not sure which game the car was meant to depict but I think it was red and perhaps a mini coop?

I am not sure if more of these were made. Competition was held in Tauranga, New Zealand. Around world release time of Xbox.

I hard modded the console early on via a company called kings electrical after finding out it was possible and then sold it roughly 6 years ago for $60...

Sorry for the ambiguity.

But I can gurantee someone out there has this console. I am kicking myself hard after finding this thread. Looking to mod another console :)

Xbox Alpha Kit/Durango.

I hope youll edit it. The Xbox Alpha kit is not the same as Durango. Where ever you got that name from. The Durango was the prototype name for the Xbox one Development kit in its Alpha stage,
The Xbox 360 was called Xenon during Alpha stage.
The original xbox probably pretty early on got the Xbox name, but also was named DirectX box.

The Alpha Kit is known in 2 versions, first there was the Alpha I (1) and the Alpha II (2) came later. its basicly a Alpha 1 but a newer Videocard (upgrading form a Geforce 2 to prototype 3?) and the CPU went from 600Mhz(? not sure if this is correct) to the final speed of 733Mhz slot 1 cpu.

People owning an older ALpha I kit probably got send an upgrade kit. I personaly believe based on images released by MS at the time and recent pictures of the casing of an DirectX console case that Microsoft put a Alpha xbox hardware inside. Not sure wich hardware but the motherboard would fit with a adapter to fit the GPU and other cards. P1010046.jpg.b7e7549c4de350de908c0636717b274b.jpg

There are also some Xbox live beta consoles (wich where probably relabeled Debug kits) and Test xbox consoles. I think one of the members on this forum also has a Xbox motherboard with coincel battery and some kind of debug connector near the CPU.

Dont forget about the Sega Chihiro ;) its xbox based. (DVT4/DEBUG mobo)

I was lucky enough to pick up a crystal Xbox for $5 at flea market.

Mine ended up costing me 60 CAD, and I got lucky because I was the first person to setup a time to meet up so that I could purchase it. Luckily it had never been opened, and by seeing if it had the extra screw post or not, I found out it was a 1.6 so I left it as is for now. Don't know when I'll open it up, but its not too big of a concern for me.

I don't know much about this other than Ed Fries was the Vice President of game publishing at Microsoft during the Xbox's life. As you may imagine, if you're a high level executive delivering a product you may have to call in a few special favors along the way. What better thank you to certain people than a personalized xbox thank you note?

Halo 2 - Japanese Console. 


Japan got most of the special editions in an attempt to get them to accept the Xbox. That never happened in the numbers that Microsoft needed. Japanese gamers have always prefered Japanese companies such as Sony or Nintendo.

Halo (Translucent Orange, US)
Units Available: 1

Retail Price: Not for resale

Found while visiting a garage sale (in Redmond, Washington) on July 27, 2014, a translucent orange Halo Special Edition original Xbox console was found and purchased. Pictures comparing the console to a Halo Translucent Green version have been posted at the Assembler forums.[6] This has been proven to be a legitimate system, and the thread at the Assembler forums show images of several of these orange Xbox case tops at the factory as production samples. It appears that only 1 of the Orange Xbox consoles escaped destruction. As this is an actual Microsoft produced Xbox from a mold (instead of a painted case), this is likely to be the rarest Xbox console in existence. A video can be seen on YouTube, on the channel "MetalJesusRocks", titled "Ultra Rare HALO XBOX DISCOVERED!" posted on April 24, 2015.

The previous owner (Emilio) sold it(for $15,000.00), got $9K upfront and opened his own gaming consignment shop. He is still waiting for the remainder of the cash. But the new owner is some girl who owns a competing gaming consignment shop. It's a museum of sorts, but not like you'd think. It's currently located in Renton WA

EA Xbox Live White`
Quantity: 30

This Special Edition console was given to Electronic Arts to celebrate their support of the nascent XBOX Live service.

I am told there are 60 of the controllers that match in existence, and two came with the console. If these numbers are correct, this indicates that only 30 of these consoles were ever produced.

MSN Crystal
Quantity: 1?

This special edition was only recently discovered. Nothing is known about it for certain. It was most likely part of MSN's gaming zone offering.

the EA xbox live white had a quantity of more than one. the OP talking about it was somewhere in the USA. There is one relatively close to where I live. I'm thinking there were probably 50 or so in total made, given out to the top EA people in each region.
