Mezmarr Posted June 19, 2023 Report Share Posted June 19, 2023 So I've been doing a bit of research to try and find out more about this OG Xbox Halo 2 Edition I have - it's a Ice Blue Halo 2 Release edition with the Black Xbox logo on the top "Black jewel" I beleive it's refered to. Some sites I have found (https://gamingdoc.org/) & (https://consolemods.org/) - list the serial numbers as both: 2NNNNNN 51805 , 2NNNNNN 50805 Are these internal board Serial Numbers? The xbox is still in it's plastic bag packaging so I'm not going to open it to check but on the stick externally - it has 4044117 51505 :SERIAL NO. & 241 4044117 51505 :PRODUCT ID Does anyone know anything more about this? Like can I confirm the unit I have is actually the Xbox Halo 2 Edition from Asia ? (PAL) I'm in Australia so it's likely from the Asian Market. Considering it's still in it's plastic bag sealed - Are these things considered rare still? Thanks in advance for any info anyone can provide me with! I'll attach the photos I have in the next comment from my phone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol. I've never even seen a manufacture date that late, honestly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So what does that mean for the console's rarity and is this definitely one of the Halo 2 consoles, everything picture wise looks like it is, but if manufacturer date is so late (after halo 2 release) what other console could it be?

I just noticed that there are zero shots of the front panel. Would you mind taking one? I think there were blue Halo editions but they were obviously very rare. It would be odd to counterfeit a Halo edition in blue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reference I've found all look the same as mine. Halo 2 Ice Blue asian release - main difference is the jewel on top, black is the Asian market vs white for NA and Canada as far as I could see Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowlsnapper Posted July 5, 2023 Report Share Posted July 5, 2023 Are you sure it's a Halo edition? It was manufactured pretty late in the Xbox timeline.... And it doesn't say Halo 2 on it as far as I can tell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoTeamScotch Posted July 10, 2023 Report Share Posted July 10, 2023 Nice looking kit there. That blue console with the black jewel is one of my holy grail items. I've always wanted that variant but they're always so expensive. Lol. Hope you got this thing setup in a display case or something. I would. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah man, as far as I can see: https://consolevariations.com/collectibles/microsoft-halo-2-bundle-asia It fits all of the criteria for this console variation. As mentioned they seem to be just so rare that you don't see them all that often, even trying to research about it is hard. Keeping in mind the rarity goes up because I'm in Australia so the edition is quite limited to specific markets. According to consolecariations.com it mentions "Amount Produced Estimate Between 5k - 10k" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's one of those things hey, the crazy story is - this was recovered from a business that was going to throw it out but just happened to know that I like tech and they asked if I'd like it. I said $50 for this one + the faulty (video output problem) Halo 1 Transparent Green one. Turns out this Blue one is a gem and it's still in a bag sealed, never powered on...

I’ve gotten lucky with people and places getting rids of electronics before but never a find like that and still sealed in the bag. Awesome!
