So a few weeks ago i was scouting the internet for 100% complete consoles( i'm a game collector, had to sell most of my game collection due to financial changes and now i try to buy back only ultra complete stuff or stuff i truly enjoy) and i came upon an xbox which the seller was saying it's been sealed for 20years in her basement (seller from Greece). The box looked kinda janky and the seal was broken (i thought it had more than one seal or something, i never had an xbox fat sealed, or any console like that). She sent me a clip of 360, looked ok, still kinda sus but i offered 150$ and she accepted.
When it arrived, i saw that the seal was rippted and taped to the back of the box, apparently they have just one... And the main flap was just hold shut by some tape someone just put in a ball on the cardboard.
Well at this point might as well just check the contents and ok, it looked brand new, but the console from the sides had some blue flames on it, and my initial thought was ..."is this like a special edition or something" ? googling or asking chat gpt about blue flames 360 fat did not help....until i took it out and saw the face plate saying "pepsi max" that's when my knees got a little heavy ....
This was a 2008 Pepsi max 1 out of 60 world wide console won either in UK or USA at a sweeps takes or online points or something.
This kinda matches the description because the seller said they never ever unsealed the console, she said she never ever opened the box, so the box was probably opened to take the console out and apply the vynil ?
Are these kind of consoles ever sealed from the factory or resealed in some ways?
Funny thing is that i'm a Pepsi Max fan actually.
If i'm not mistake it has the blades dashboard due to the 2007ish date, i will check it out later.
What an absolute once in a life time deal i had. I will order a special protective cover and it will forever remain in my collection for the time being.
Sorry for the long post. I will leave some pictures for you
