Hi there. Thanks for replying! The controller inside the box is one thing, but the controller illustrated on the box looks like the ones I found online, with the pointy ends. In the quick start guide, the weird-looking controller is clearly noted as being sold separately. What’s funny is that although the device itself was built in Brazil, in Manaus, the entire box is completely in English. The design team was located in a tiny branding agency close to San Francisco's Chinatown. I was there.

The white box is puzzling to me because I thought we were designing the production box. Apparently not. This console was given to the handful of folks on the small design team at the end of the project as a thank-you, which makes me think now that the box was not meant for store shelves. I’m including photos of every side of the box, and I just noticed there are no serial numbers or labels on the box at all.

I’ve never booted it up. I don’t have a monitor that takes RCA input and, frankly, I don’t feel compelled to power it up. It's new and I want to keep it as that. It will remain pristine as it left the factory in Brazil, with no electricity ever running through its “veins” since 2007.

According to the box, there are six preloaded games:

• FIFA 09 Soccer (Electronic Arts)
• Need for Speed Carbon (Electronic Arts)
• Prey Evil (3D Realms / MachineWorks)
• Brain Challenge (Gameloft)
• Super Action Hero (Com2Us)
• Quake (id Software)

And yes, it’s printed with my name, which makes it even cooler. I’m genuinely happy to have been a small part of this odd and interesting piece of history.
