Not interested in a 360 Slim? How about this rare, 2005 launch model?
As noted in the auction listing, the launch consoles were only given to folks "intimately involved in designing the console," and the one in question is still functioning, surprisingly. ("The console was last used around September or October of 2008 and was reading discs and playing games fine before being packed away," the listing claims.)
We might normally warn against the danger of buying a launch Xbox 360 given the ubiquity of that model's failure rate, but we're guessing this baby's gonna get mounted on a wall somewhere rather than actually be expected to play games. At least, we're hoping ... for your sake, you crazy person who wins the auction. check read more for the ebay link

I like the paint that they used on the Xbox, very creative. I am looking for a new Xbox Console soon and I am not looking forward to getting the slim though. 0_o

the case customization is cool although I have seen Dr. Hack make some pretty awesome designs on console cases/controllers and it's a slim eww. Now I see why it will get put onna shelf (it's probably the only way it will stay in working order) :)

I would pay good money for that face plate.... Or something that looked just like it (a nock off).... I don't think that I'd want to spend that much money on it though considering that I still have (and use) my console that I got on launch week. But man that face plate is sexy

I have this console hanging up in my room, I'm never going to use it.. I wonder how much i could sell it for (keep in mind my dad got it not me)

Why JTAG it. That basically ruins the console. Also it's value then will drop like $200.
