Holy crap what a scam. Anyone even thinking this for a second will end up losing their money and not even recieve a regular 360 in return. Never ever buy an expensive item overseas, EVER! This is a scam, (bank to bank transfer and no Paypal??? HAHA!).

And those images could easily be photoshop'd, this should not only be closed, but deleted.

I reckon it looks legit. Plu sthis guy has pretty high feedback and has a lot of other dev kits for various consoles for sale. But hey, it might be a scam, that kind of thinking GOT me scammed  (IMG:style_emoticons/default/grr.gif) .  

No returns or anything, seems fishy.

OMG He wants $1500 for a N64 dev kit?

Debug kits were the grey ones.

Dev kits are white (it's *probably* legit)

Already a more informative thread in the dump : LINK

Where the cables come out of the top looks really bad around the rubber bushing, (looks busted out, rather than cleanly manufactured by a machine).  I don't know though.  The guy that asked about pictures of the back and the seller's response gives it away though.  He says he can't post them because the serial number can't be given away.  He can put his name on the pictures, but he can't black out serial numbers.  100% scam.

Dev kits are dark gray/almost black. Test Kits (like the old Xbox Debug Kits) are White like a retail console but with the big sidecar. These could be special test kits like they used at E3 -- look like retail boxes but run unsigned code for trade show purposes. Either way, it is dfeniitely a no-no for any publisher or developer to do anything with these beyond using them or givign them back to MS. WOuldn't surprise me to see the winning bidder be MS.

Looks like it has been taken down. 0 bids. I suspect MS legal gave Ebay a call.

Yes it does,most debug units comes with a 60gb hdd,and the black dev kits comes with a 80gb hdd,also you can upgrade the hdd on a dev or debug unit to a pretty large hdd.
