Hmm, are we including competition prizes and promotional consoles which usually wouldn't be available to punters? I suppose this would be the same as including press kits in the games section...

I think to avoid confusion, we need to clearly separate retail consoles from custom / prize consoles

Off the top of my head, here's a quick list of a few UK PAL retail X360 consoles I know of:

Coloured Consoles:

Halo 3 (20GB Pro) - Green & Gold
Resident Evil 4 (120GB Elite) - Red
Modern Warfare 2 (250GB Super Elite) - Black with MW2 details
Final Fantasy XIII (250GB Super Elite) - White with FF XIII details
Halo Reach (250GB X360 Slim) - Silver with Halo Reach details


Game bundles:

Forza 3 (250GB Super Elite) - Plain Black
Gears Of War 2 (???) - ???
Pro Evolution Soccer 200? (???) - ???
LEGO Batman / Pure (???) - ???

Not at all, they are consoles every collector would be very interested in. Even if we decided not to use them, they will be included in a separate section.

I originally though it would be ok because we have press kits which are not available to the public. However unlike press kits, these completion editions are won by the public and go into the public domain.

What's more the original criteria was an official serial code on the back of the unit. which makes these official consoles. Press kits do not have any age rating, serial codes, bar codes and more importantly no region code. Which means they are not official products of their platform holders and are instead made by a 3rd party company with review codes. Though still ownership is with the platform holder. They can not sold into the public for the reasons above. Where as the consoles have to meet these criteria.

Most press kits I've seen are region coded, the only ones I've seen that aren't are some of the PS3 kits from Sony Computer Entertainment.

I also wouldn't go by the bar code on the packaging... for instance Dead Space Ultra Limited Edition, was a real product sold to the public, and it has no bar code or any kind of serial marking on the package.

really those are only required if the product is being sold in a brick and mortar store where the cashiere needs to scan out the products.

I would suspect there are quite a few special release games and consoles without any markings on the packaging.

The difference with these custom competition consoles is the fact that they are no different from fan-made custom consoles. We realy need official citation of these consoles before we add them, otherwise we might be accidentally adding someones custom paint job by mistake

What I suggest is, instead of a UPC code, we have a "Source" field, where we can add links to any online citation of any promotional events where these consoles were won

Obviously some are more well known than others (such as the Simpsons console), but others are less known

Someone who might be good to ask about these is Nicola from GameSniped.com, as he seems to have a keen interest in these kind of things, and might have some valuable knowledge about them

I don't see the R2D2 one mentioned, but I was just skimming. I think it would be useful if we knew exactly which hardware each special edition has too. Not just slim or fat, but which fat revision those ones were if anyone knows (Zephyr, Falcon, Jasper). I'm guessing the Red Resident Evil or MW2 ones might be Jasper units, but I don't know. I'd almost be tempted to look for a fat jasper as a backup over a slim. My 120GB Elite Jasper model has been running 24/7 for 2 years now.

p.s. You guys are listing "Resident Evil 4" consoles, I believe it was RE5.

Well,i spose i better throw my two cents worth in
Darksiders Console-10 Produced Worldwide-Prize in a competition.(PAL)




Grand Theft Auto-500 Produced Worldwide-Prize in Competition(NTSC)
Some of these did come out in PAL format & there is also a second design that came out



Simpsons & Halo 3 consoles are already up,so wont add those.
The only problem your going to have is finding them all for pics or
info on somethings. For example theres one original xbox console
that was made for Atari,theres is literally only one in the entire
world,where the heck it is or who has it a mystery million dollar question.
