Xbmcmodsforxbox Posted May 14, 2019 Report Share Posted May 14, 2019 for some reason goodwill keeps on putting this on and off the market but this time i think its here to stay https://www.ebay.com/itm/Original-XBOX-Orange-Translucent-Halo-Special-Edition-Console-P-R/401765628862?hash=item5d8b18fbbe:g:V8sAAOSwlLdco4TN&frcectupt=true Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gray1 Posted May 15, 2019 Report Share Posted May 15, 2019 Actually after looking at it. I think it's a fake. It has no black Jewel on top and I really doubt it someone pryed it off with a heatgun on an original orange Halo XBOX. The ghostcase did not come with one cause they couldn't reproduce the emblem due to copyrights. https://www.amazon.com/Xbox-Original-GhostCase-Kit-Clear-Orange/dp/B007TCKIS6?SubscriptionId=AKIAILSHYYTFIVPWUY6Q&tag=duckduckgo-d-20&linkCode=xm2&camp=2025&creative=165953&creativeASIN=B007TCKIS6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xbmcmodsforxbox Posted May 15, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2019 there is a few things it would be pretty hard to paint that halo text onto a xbox and ghost cases you can tell when its a ghost case and on the dvd drive bezzle you cant really paint that on either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lapa988 Posted May 16, 2019 Report Share Posted May 16, 2019 (edited) I think the hardest part to fake would be the main body part (bottom of the Xbox). Ghostcases didn't have it and were also missing a lot other stuff like all RF shield mounts under the top cover. XCM did, but had no orange. Even if orange XCM would exist, there would be a lot more discrepancies, like the engraved Microsoft text on the front panel and the jewel mounts. I don't see any way to fake it. Other than getting ~$100K injection moulds from XCM (or Microsoft) and modifying the moulded product, getting them to mould a special one for you, or Goodwill faking it by themselves by color adjusting common green Halo ed pictures.

big F Posted May 16, 2019 Report Share Posted May 16, 2019 Price is a bit rich for my tastes. That said back in the day I bought a Green case and smoke case which was part of a job lot of factory unused cases, they had no serial, stickers on like this one, so could be a standard unit thats been re-boxed maybe even from the same surplus stock.
