Good to see you bit the bullet & got an anniversary edition

The only thing i hate about sealed items is the temptation to open them,lol

Yup, good thing they never sealed the boxes, otherwise I might not have been able to look at any of it.

Ooh pretty....

I think I like the 2nd anniversary the best although it's hard to see the console itself.

It looks so nice all white like that. A lot classier imo compared to some of the other ones.

I think the original shipping box is probably quite rare.

Not that there would be much of a market for it right now but I remember someone was selling maybe 6 sealed NES's or SNES's but what really brought up the auction value was the fact that he had the original shipping box for them which apparently no one else had.

So in 15 years or so, that could be worth a small fortune

Actually that's a fair point, are there any microsoft/xbox logos or markings on the shipping box?

On one side there is part of the original shipping label that is from Redmond Washington but that is about it. Although I think it is pretty clear it is the original box because it fits the console perfectly. Which is also bad because there is no padding inside, which is also why there is some damage to the front of the console box because the shipping box was damaged.

And yes, the console is hard to see with the plastic on it, but the plastic has never been taken off so I don't want to take it off.

That's too bad. I think the shipping box I was talking about had the nintendo logo on it which was probably what made is so desirable.

Sorry if it wasn't clear but I would never ask a true collector to open something sealed just to let me get a better view
