[XBOX] Yet another competition XBOX surfaces and sells on eBay for $166


Hi gamers and collectors!

Probably one of the stupidest competition XBOXes given away. Modified/customised by Playboy, yeah Playboy.
From what I can tell it's one of the laziest customisation attempts ever, in history of competition XBOXes. To me when I first saw the system I thought it was simply one of those stupid console sticker/skins you can buy from K-mart for $12, put simply this XBOX looks just like that. 
The seller added to the description, the system was opened by Playboy to apply the decals. Why would they need to open the system to apply a sticker? Anyway.

Here's a quote for the auction.

"Hi,Thanks for looking - This is an xbox customised by Playboy and offered as 1st prize in a competition prize at the time.
This is the only one in existance.
It has been autographed by Penelope Jimenez (March 2003 Playboy Playmate).
The xbox is 100% functional and has only been used/tested once to verify that it was working correctly.
My wife took an instant disliking to this xbox so it has been hidden in the wardrobe all this time.
The xbox includes all power and connector cables and comes with one black hand controller.
ONCE AGAIN THIS HAS BEEN CUSTOMISED AND AUTOGRAPHED BY PLAYBOY AUSTRALIA and was a 1st prize.
There is no other xbox like this in Australia......it's a one only opportunity.
This makes it collectable and it would look great on display behind the bar or in a theatre room.
Disclaimer : Please check with your wife or girlfriend before bidding. I cannot be held responsible if they dislike this xbox :-)
Local Pickups are welcome.
I will road freight to any where is Australia for $36 ( cost is due to its weight and size.)"

This wasn't the same seller as the Conker XBOX I posted about a few months back. It was mentioned it was AUTOGRAPHED but you can vinyl with those printed autographs lol. Also nothing was stated WHAT competition was entered to win this, so I'm not aware of how it was won.
Put simply this is a crystal edition XBOX with a Playboy skin, and really the model isn't really that beautiful either. lol.

For a "OOAK" system it didn't go for much, probably because it's nothing awesomely cool about it other than a skin. Pretty poor and really I didn't bother bidding for this. What's everyone's thoughts on this one? Oh did I mention it comes with a bag!?
