Did you ever hear about Xbox "Blue"?
Did you know that the original Xbox color scheme was not green but blue and the font from the logotype was different?
It's true. Here is a photo of the logo one one of the first piece of official Xbox team schwag on a sweater.
Did you know that the Xbox one team got a special clear orange Xbox to celebrate the shipping of the system. They make the Asian Crystal Hello Kitty Xbox look common stock.
Since these were never sold to the public they are the rarest colored Xbox systems. That is why the "Xbox Live is Five" anniversary wireless controllers were orange.
Update : Actually it was a custom production made from Xbox short run marketing test parts. So this was a one of a kind Xbox.
Update 2: Hey Kotaku! Did you know some of the windows in the offices at Microsoft are a blue/greenish tint. I am not talking about the software but the actual color of the glass at some of the buildings. Who knows did the color of the glass affect the color of the software? Also permanent Microsoft employee badges are blue and temps refer to them as “Blue Badges”. Is that color sort of ingrained in the collective hive minds at Redmond?

I'll be honest - If you look carefully at the photo to the back of the Xbox - you see Black - and even in the front you can see the front plate is black too. If that is a prototype orange - it is only the top. that jewel is also from a crystal. In my opinion it is a 3rd party orange top with a crystal jewel. THe auction posted looks like the real deal - every part of the case is red and has all the etching from microsoft in it - deffently not a 3rd party case - he's asking too much for it though - I wouldnt offer more than 350 or so.
