Over the Xbox's life there were many limited edition variations made of the consoles both by Microsoft and other companies. These limited edition models all vary in the way they look compared to the regular Xbox. Below is a table that describes each console, shows the release date and shows the value of each individual model.
Limited Edition Mountain Dew Xbox [ ]
The Limited Edition Mountain Dew Xbox was a special edition model that Microsoft and Mountain Dew made. To get the console people had to buy bottles of Mountain Dew which would earn the buyer points. If they had enough points they would be able to purchase the console. A Mountain Dew Controller S also planned but was cancelled for an unknown reason.

2001 Launch Team Edition Retail Price: Not For Sale Units produced: ~1000
The Xbox Launch Team 2001 Special Edition is a translucent green Xbox with a jewel that is silk screened with the message Great work! and a copy of a printed signature from Bill Gates. The words Special Edition are printed on the front right of the console. This Xbox was sold, not given, to members of the Xbox launch team including Hardware, ATG, Dev, First Party Games and Games Studios, Marketing, and others. Two exclusive translucent green Duke controllers were included. Along with the console, employees had the option to purchase 6 game titles marked not for resale at a reduced rate from the Microsoft campus store. The Launch Team 2001 consoles were hardware revision 1.0 and all were produced in a Mexico production facility on November 7, 2001, or November 8, 2001. Since these systems were offered for sale to qualifying employees instead of being given away, not all were sold.
Partner Edition Retail Price: Not For Sale Units produced: ~1000
The Partner Edition is a translucent green Xbox with a jewel that is silk screened with the message Thanks for Partnering with Xbox and signature from Bill Gates. Unlike the Launch Team consoles, these did not have the Special Edition label on the front right of the console. This Xbox was given to hardware companies that produced components for the Xbox such as Nvidia and Intel. A translucent green Controller S was included with this model. These are considered to be rarer than the Launch Team console because of their distribution to companies rather than individual people makes them harder to come across in the world.
