???Crystal Orange Xbox Controller??? Assist in ID'ing

[JackJackSnack]

Hey y'all, brand new to the forums here. Lovely little niche you got going. :notworthy:

I joined up on these forums because I need help ID'ing and if possible, appraising the value of a controller I recently purchased in the wild.

The best description I can come up for it is Crystal Orange Xbox Live Controller S. I can't find very much info anywhere on the internet. The best information I can come up with is that it was only available to Xbox Live employees when the service originally launched 10 years ago. I would greatly appreciate any and all insight you all have. Images are linked in the description on imgur.

I took it to a brick and mortar video game shop and none of the associates in the store, nor the owner had an idea what to make of it. So the mystery continues. :banghead: My guess as to why there is so little information: It is either a reproduction/forgery or it is so rare that little information exists.

Help! :scratch:

Cheers,

Jack

i saw some youtube video where a person had that controller..it was a prototype color that was cancelled at the last minute...but there were a small number made as a sample batch..so those samples were handed out to employees internally in the xbox division of the company..and so i figure some employees either sold or traded in or got rid of theirs..they got them for free, so i guess they didn't bother too much with it, for those found in the wild..but yes..it almost became a production run..but was rejected by marketing so the first sample products runs went to the employees/discarded etc.

They are not the only Crystal orange thing they made. They may a special orange halo original xbox system as well the same reason made as a prototype reject and just given internatally. They might have a few other stuff they tested with this color other then that but know knows they could even made other colors we are unaware of.
