Yep, apparently the Crystal Xbox is to make a return shortly - but this time to become a permanent unit.
"Microsoft today announced the return of the Crystal Xbox® across Europe. Originally issued as a limited edition in March 2004, the "crystal clear" console proved hugely popular with gamers and style gurus, winning praise and accolades from gamers and media alike. Available across Europe from 22nd October, the "crystal clear" console comes with a crystal controller and will retail for €149/£99 (SRP). This time around gamers can also buy additional single crystal controllers for €39.99/£24.99 each, so there is no need to compromise style when playing with friends or family
Michel Cassius, Senior Director, Xbox Platform and Marketing, commented: "The response to the Crystal Limited Edition Xbox was so overwhelmingly positive and demand for the console so high that we made a decision to bring back the Crystal Xbox and give even more people the opportunity to own a beautiful piece of technology. It really is the ultimate fusion of sexy design, powerful hardware and fantastic gaming experiences and the ultimate home accessory this winter."
So if you wanted a Crystal Xbox but missed out, you'll have another chance.

If you want it to look pretty there are plenty ways to mod it.
Not that it matters either way...
You could remove the metal shield, but then all you see is the cases for the hard drive and disk drive. Its a boring console inside.
Especially when you consider there's not a lot you can see through the crystal casing. There's a big metal heat shield in the way. Half the fun of transparent gizmos is being able to see the guts on the machine.
what a waste of money...

I know a place that has the original limited edition ones in stock. If I had known that they were going for more than £200 on ebay I'd have bought them all.
colour aside, what are the differences between the crystal and normal x-box?
Ah ha, yes.
Those poor ebay saps, will they never learn?
