[super Rare] Xenon Beta 2 Kit With Prototype Accessories.
« on: November 06, 2009, 10:24:00 PM »

Hello. I'm back again with a new item, this one is my favourite kit I've ever had, and I'm really disappointed I'm needing to part with it, because it's such a rare batch of items.

Today I bring you a Xenon Beta 2 Console with some accessories.

Keep in mind, this is a beta development console, not a prototype retail unit.

What is a Xenon Beta 2 Console?
While Xboxes were first in development, Microsoft made these beta consoles so that game developers could start early, so there would be some titles ready for when the Xbox 360 launched. Microsoft started handing out some beta kits. But however, they weren't like this one. Developers wouldn't see a stress test xenon beta 2 kit, which is why I'm, again, disappointed to part with this.

Xenon Beta kits(depending on revision), could not upgrade past certain points. Xenon Beta 2 Kits could upgrade all the way up to the 4929 dashboard(which also could be used for testing your homebrew applications using the kingkong exploit or etc). So this is mainly a collectors item. I've used it for research aswell in the past.

Regardless of the fact that this console can only upgrade to the 4929 dashboard, it can still connect to XePartnerNet. This console aswell, can run unsigned code.

Note: The power light is green, while the ring of light is red. So if you plug in a controller, the light for the controller will be red. Or the ring spinning animation when you start your Xbox will be in red. And when your xbox has redrings/you forget to plug in AV cables, the ring of light will be green. Of course, this is normal, microsoft does this with their beta hardware when it's in real beta stage. Also, the controller's ring of light is off by one ring. So if you are the first player, the controller will show you as the second. Prototype hardware, it happens ;P. One thing that I myself did to this console however, the old DVD drive died, so I put in a new DVD drive and it works. If you'd like, I can ship the original. It makes no difference whatsoever.

What does it come with?
I'll be throwing in some beta accessories. So you'll be getting..
• A krypton(wired prototype controller made one year before 360 release).
• Prototype white harddrive.
• Console will come as it shows in pictures, with the prototype white grates.
• The console already has a prototype RF module, but ill be including another one, but this one is different, it might be a bit more picky with what controllers it will like, but it has cables that are attached to it, so you can pull them through the hole in the top where the other cables come out, and it will look nice. See what I'm talking about here( , the red cables on the top, note: that video is not my console, it's just to show you).
• I'll throw in the old styled USB doors that are rubber and opened sideways. You can't use this on this kit, but if you get a different beta kit, you'd be able to use it on that. It's just because of size/proportion issues because theres a edge on the faceplate that wont allow it to attach to the console.
• Power Supply
• AV Cables if needed.
• Whatever contents are on the harddrive will remain on it, I am not touching this, so you may get something on there(I think I saw a crackdown alpha build with a cheat menu).

So if you're interested but unsure about my authenticity.. I've sold multiple development consoles, around multiple people you may have heard of. If you have any questions, you can refer to these people:
Anthony562, gamerfreak1726, MTW, Spikey, Veegie, Leorimolo, Shadowlag, DarkShallFall, m1992, Penguin, pokecancer, gabe_k, WearingJOK3R, HaloDu03de, KIWIDOGGIE, etc.

This rare bundle(probably to never be seen again), will be selling for $1200 + shipping + paypal reductions(these won't apply however if you select payment option as "gift"), so around $1300 with paypal reductions or $1250 without.

Cheers,
~Xenon.

Holy shit. I remember talking to you a lot back in those days. It's crazy you're still around.

To be honest I'm speechless, I didn't think I'd see you again.

Good to know you're alive haha (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Also I'm going to assume you aren't trying hard enough because I haven't seen one topic about it from you lol. Also I thought you had a final console? Then again someone like you would be one in <high number> to have one. ;P

Eh, there's a thread somewhere further down with 20 bumps from me XD
TBH, I'm not even sure what it is. Judging from your pics, I don't think I have a beta kit after all... It doesn't quite match the descriptions for any of the kits, though. It has the inverted ring, standard white shell, standard dev kit hard drive (non prototype), no side car, no emu port, partnernet access, special PSU, no specific markings. I don't even care what it is anymore, I just want to get rid of it  (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) Maybe if the xenon demo/test kits had inverted lights, then that's what mine is...

Do you happen to know the manufacturing date range of the betas? Was it only before the official console release?

I may be alive but I haven't picked up a game in a couple years :-/ Hizlo called me a few weeks before the ODST release and I hadn't even heard of it XD

Congrats on all of your work; pretty damn impressive, man!

I remember seeing yours, though it didn't look like a Beta kit to me.

If you turn it on, and at the dash it says "pre-release hardware" then it's a beta kit.

Anyways this is a bit offtopic lol, we should stick to PMs.

This beta kit no longer has to be a collectors item!

It is on 9328, and can play any games released at this time on it, and can be used to mod as any devkit can now. However it is still extremely rare.

Price is 1000$ + shipping.

It has not redringed because it has not been used much, and the fan speeds were set up (not a hardware mod), so they cool the console alot better. It'll last wink.gif
