Limited edition "mother-of-pearl" Xbox 360

Philip Wong | May 23, 2008

We have the regular whitish Xbox 360 gaming console and the souped-up black Elite. But if you're an important associate of Bill Gates, there's also the limited-edition "mother-of-pearl" flavor as pictured above. A special gift from the founder of the Redmond software giant to the South Korean President, it features a special oriental motif which supposedly symbolizes patience and perseverance, according to Register Hardware.

The exquisite handy work of Korean artist Kim Young-Jun, 100 of these "VVIP" consoles are rumored to have been commissioned by Microsoft. If you have insider information on the rest of these swanky consoles' lucky recipients, do give us a heads up via our email here. We would love to run a photo gallery on this exclusive bling bling. Who knows? Maybe Gates could have thrown in a few extras to complement the souped-up aesthetics, too.
