5 Stars Honest revew of the MD XBox
Okay, I haven’t seen any honest reviews of this system and since I’ve had mine for over a year now, I figured I’d put a review up for it. This system, as mentioned, was free from codes. I acquired mine at a yard sale and have found it to be a very good, dependable XBox. See, long before the 360’s RROD, XBox had other problems. Namely, the first set had lousy DVD-Rom drives. I know as I watched my friend tears his apart to fix them. This system, doesn’t have that. It was created later using the better DVD-Rom drive. The only problem I’ve had with it is the DVD rom drawer not opening properly on occassion, but that has gone away after using the paperclip trick.

Bottom line, the color choice is personal, and yes… $900-$275-$200 is probably a bit steep for this system, but the prices now are definitely reasonable and I imagine you’d have less issues with this machine than you would say, buying one at gamestop for $60. I love this system, even regardless of the deal I got on it.

It gets the full five stars from me. I just wish amazon would remove these dated comments that have nothing to do with the system itself, because idiots thought it was a 360. It’s obviously the same XBox with a different colored casing and it’s an excellent edition of the XBox.

1 Star Weak Sauce
Xbox is obsolete, why pay $300 for a bright green Xbox when you could buy a new Wii for the same price or throw $100-200 more for a X360?

5 Stars What is going on???
Alright, something is messed up here. Why the heck are people raving on about xbox if this is a Nintendo Wii controller?? Wii is awesome! someone please tell me why everyone is shouting about xbox on a Wii product!!

3 Stars Read the description…before you open your mouth!
Where are you people getting the idea that this is a 360? Nowhere in the description does it state that this is an xbox 360. Maybe everyone should pay a little more attention to detail before going off on crazy tangents, it just makes you look foolish. This is a special limited edition xbox console, the lime green color and special ‘mountain dew’ center jewel are unique to this edition. This xbox is one of the only special edition systems released in the U.S., the other one was the halo special edition (translucent green). This machine is a collector’s item, if you are a collector then I’m sure the hefty price tag is not a problem, but if not I suggest you look elsewhere for an original xbox–you can find a standard black console at target for around $150. If you are looking for a 360 wait ’till April…or if you are smart wait longer, until the inevitable price drop and the second and third gens are released (less bugs/glitches in the subsequent generations). As for the person that mentioned buying a PS3, well good luck with that b/c sony is not releasing its next-gen console until sometime in 2007…

1 Star From $900 to $275 is the reason!!!!!
These are the same 2 sellers I saw 2 months ago selling this Xbox for $900. I check now and it is only $275!!!! I can see why it is one third of the price. It is ugly, and it says Mountain Dew on it. Who would want something that says Mountain Dew on it instead of Xbox? Also, for any of you who thought it was a 360, it is not. Mountain Dew gave these units away for free when they had the “look under you cap thing”!! It is worth 1 cent. It comes with a black S controller. Shouldn’t it come with a green controller to match it? Do NOT NOT NOT buy it!!!!!!

2 Stars seems rushed
bought this when i first got my 360, thinking like the previous reviewer, that it would somehow “hook” to this stand for added stability. such is not the case.

my 360 is loud, but never gets super warm, even with the games along its sides. still, its a good point brought up.

what annoys me the most however is that even with normal sized cases, even sliding them in carefully, it peels the clear plastic outside off the bottom edge of the cases, which is highly annoying, especially since i like to cycle games im playing through the stand. so now some games have a big plastic fold at the bottom, which not only looks crappy, prevents a nice alignment of cases.

overall, its really a waste of time and money, at any price.

1 Star Not a great idea…
The Xbox360 needs as much airflow around it as it can get. It’s not wise to stack games right next to it and block the side vents. It looks pretty but is probably best to avoid this stand.

2 Stars Cheaply made.
This stand isn’t all that great. The picture on the box makes one think that the Xbox 360 somehow hooks onto it, but instead it’s just sitting on it. That’s not very secure, so this thing won’t stop your Xbox from falling over. Also, the game storage doesn’t allow for larger-than-normal cases; if you have the limited edition of Perfect Dark Zero, it doesn’t fit in the game storage. Other than that, if you want somewhere to put your games and your Xbox, this works.

5 Stars Christmas gift used daily
Bought this for my son for Christmas. He uses it almost everyday. The red is a great color (matches his wall). Doesn’t show dirt as much as the white. Wireless is great. He has had it for 6 months now and so far it still works great.

2 Stars M$ ripoff again.
Microsoft is the shadiest company on the planet. I swear they make these things with the intent of having them break like glass. It’s not like a wireless controller some new invention. They don’t even have the typical variety of colors, if you want anything but white and black, you need to buy a special edition xbox to go with it.

It’s about time they sell a red controller solo, but of course it’s not just the controller, you have to buy the charger kit that comes with it too. Yet I can’t get a replacement for my Halo edition green controller or buy any cool ‘ice’ controllers (see through chasis) which Sony has offered for over a decade. God forbid you try to mod the thing, M$ uses security pins in all the wireless controllers to prevent you from customizing or repairing the equipment you paid $50 for.

I’m glad I bought a 360 but it’s such a hassle to replace these crappy controllers after only a few short months. If there were any viable 3rd party option (Saitek is mostly a PC gamepad and MAdCatz has sucked for ages) I’d go with them in a heartbeat.

360: A+

360 peripherals: C-

4 Stars Good so far, but feels cheaply made.
My favorite color is red, so naturally I wanted this controller as soon as I saw it. The first one I purchased was broken, though; the battery pack would not hold a charge. After exchanging it for another it has worked well enough, although it feels a bit lighter and more cheaply made than my other 360 controllers. I have a feeling they’ve started using cheaper materials to cut costs. Overall, I suppose I don’t have any real complaints about the controller, and the red color is very sexy. Just make sure to save your receipt in case yours doesn’t work when you get it home!

5 Stars Does what it should
No surprises here. It does exactly the same things as any other Xbox controller, which is a good thing. These controllers are much more comfortable than the PS3 ones, and feel heftier too. This comes with a rechargeable pack, as well as the insert to use conventional AAs. Very good product.

5 Stars RED ROCKS!!
Bought for my husband. Same controller…color is so vibrant. Very sleek. Comes with charger. Great controller for those who love red like my husband!
