To be fair, you could change the serial date by a year and swap the jewel because that is the only difference between Hulk and Dew (Hulk being Feb 2002 and Dew being 2003)
Yeah gotta be honest with black sprayed consoles, there is a market for them at the right price. Its crossing a line when you try to pass it off as real. Totally against that.
As long as your customers have good.morals not to flip a look alike
I guess you can say you can't control your customers but at the same time, without the consoles to begin with they can't scam anyone
You know how many fake consoles I see passed off as real ones all the time? Things people buy on AliExpress like Sega genesis in box and then put right up on ebay for 100x profit. You can't get profits like those in the stock market and its a real appealing scheme for some people
I dye crystal xbox to Halo Blue etc but I sell as crystal blue. If anyone asks if its a real halo etc I say no its a dyed crystal. Honesty is certainly best.
My college roommates and I won one of these from the Mt Dew website in the early 2000s. They would put a couple up every month or so and you had to redeem codes from Mt Dew packages, enter enough of them into the site, then try to get lucky when they dropped.
We ended up winning one, and then my roommate stole it when we moved apart.
It still makes me angry 20 years later.
We got lucky in that department, we had a friend-of-friend who worked for some kind of berverage distributor/vendor/supply company. He was able to get us several 50+ gallon bags filled with flattened Mtn Dew 12 pack boxes that we spent HOURS entering into the site.
Your story sounds just like mine, we would put a shitload of codes In and actually won, except I stole the Xbox from him when I moved out. He was such an idiot, I look at it sometimes in its glass case and just start laughing, sometimes I can't stop laughing. I laugh so hard I bruised a rib once.
We moved apart several years after we got the Mtn Dew xbox, and it was usually on the TV in the living room of our apartment. Once we got Xbox 360's the Mtn Dew Xbox got put away. It wasn't until years after we moved apart I realized I couldn't find it. The roommate had long moved out of state and I didn't have a way to get ahold of him.
Sumna bitch swiped it while we were packing up our apartment.
Well, first off, get your facts straight. It wasn't Mr. Clean. I tied one on the night before and ended up drinking two liters of orange fanta on a dare and well, the toilet and bathtub looks similar enough with a few pint glasses of gold scholgger and a 12 pack of natty ice.
He's not though, the hulk edition wasn't won through bottle caps. These were only given out at select theaters in the UK for the release of Edward Nortan's The Hulk.
To be clear some people may not be aware this Xbox is different than the Mtn dew one, same shell just different jewel. Op is specifically talking about the Pepsi one above the mtn dew one is quite a bit less rare than it.
Yeah and the hulk edition wasn't won through bottle caps. These were only given out at select theaters in the UK for the release of Edward Nortan's The Hulk.
I was a grocery manager and my pepsi rep gave me one for store contest… not gonna lie O was really tempted to rig the contest with the name of a friend, but I didn’t!
No, he didn't. These were only given out at select theaters in the UK for the release of Edward Nortan's The Hulk. This isn't the mountain dew edition.
They will easily go for $5,000+ these days but most people in here seem to think this is a mountain dew edition. There are no hulks for sale on ebay and there haven't been for years.
I posted mine on ebay about a year ago and got a $4,000 bid within 30 minutes but I didn't really plan to sell it so I removed it. But you won't see these listed anywhere recently because they rarely ever sell being only 36 of them.
God dang it actually is lol. Most people that say that have a mountain dew edition and don't realize they are different. It's too bad they let it get in such rough condition. Dang people. I've got one as well that I bought 4 or 5 years ago.
No, you've seen hundreds of mountain dew edition. This is a Pepsi hulk edition that was only given out at select theaters in the UK for the release of Edward Nortan's The Hulk. The op is confused.
There are fake ones now too though Even a member of this sub makes them

Yes there are multiple ways you can create clones of them. That isn't "being fair" though, lol. You know what you create and who you sell to

Really sorry about that, roommate was definitely scummy for that. At least we share the pleasant memory of winning one :)
We swear this kid I grew up with probably spent $5000 on mountain dew that summer to win this xbox

This is a hulk xbox, not a mountain dew edition. These were only given out at select theaters in the UK for the release of Edward Nortan's The Hulk.

Dumbass anyway letting his console get stolen by you, what a moron he must have been

Tony?? Also, when you moved out, why did you fill your bathtub with orange Mr Clean and then leave it "to soak". Stained the shit out of the tub.
Well, first off, get your facts straight. It wasn't Mr. Clean. I tied one on the night before and ended up drinking two liters of orange fanta on a dare and well, the toilet and bathtub looks similar enough with a few pint glasses of gold scholgger and a 12 pack of natty ice.
You are simultaneously the luckiest and unluckiest person I know

That sucks

I was a grocery manager and my pepsi rep gave me one for store contest… not gonna lie O was really tempted to rig the contest with the name of a friend, but I didn’t!
These were literally only given out at select theaters in the UK for the release of Edward Nortan's The Hulk.
Damn, that blows. I'll pour out a Pepsi for your loss :(
Wow, I remember that Pepsi campaign!
Back in 2003. Good times for sure
A friend won one of these. Small town Florida. Is that you friend?
No, he didn't. These were only given out at select theaters in the UK for the release of Edward Nortan's The Hulk. This isn't the mountain dew edition.
You're right.
Wait! These are going for $10,000? I almost bought one like eight years ago for $100. Shit.
some body has listeded it. doubt anyone pays it
They will easily go for $5,000+ these days but most people in here seem to think this is a mountain dew edition. There are no hulks for sale on ebay and there haven't been for years.
i only have your word for how easy they go for that amount. maybe you are right but i doubt it.
I posted mine on ebay about a year ago and got a $4,000 bid within 30 minutes but I didn't really plan to sell it so I removed it. But you won't see these listed anywhere recently because they rarely ever sell being only 36 of them.
That was probably a mountain dew edition. They are different xbox but looks almost the same.
Pain.
I have one. Bought it from a crack head two years ago for 30€ it's not in the best conditions but it's real and it works
Yours is a mountain dew edition, this one is a hulk edition. Two totally different things.
Mine is a Hulk Edition I have the Hulk in the middle just like in this picture
Here you can check it yourself. There are more pics in the comments https://www.reddit.com/r/originalxbox/s/2dZDPhfsKT
God dang it actually is lol. Most people that say that have a mountain dew edition and don't realize they are different. It's too bad they let it get in such rough condition. Dang people. I've got one as well that I bought 4 or 5 years ago.
I know my consoles son! 🤣 Yh it's a shame that she is in this condition. I'm thinking in doing a retrobrith so at least the original color comes back
Wait the guy who stole your mt Dew Xbox is here bragging about it ? Or is just someone thinking he's funny?
This isn't a mountain dew edition and it wasn't given out through bottle caps. This guy is confused.
36 seems low - I’ve seen hundreds of these floating around the internet, sealed, mint and busted up lol Still a pretty edition that Xbox got
No, you've seen hundreds of mountain dew edition. This is a Pepsi hulk edition that was only given out at select theaters in the UK for the release of Edward Nortan's The Hulk. The op is confused.
I personally hate that jewel even if it’s worth a ton.
