... Microsoft game console it's been repainted and fitted with a new monitor and front-loading disk tray, two joysticks, a 60GB hard drive, WiFi, and display and volume control.

... stock Xbox 360 (60GB hard drive and Wi-Fi adapter), so it can play any 360 game while accepting wireless controllers should you tire of the joysticks. But it's $2,250. And as much as I'm normally willing to drop too much money on things I don't need, I just can't justify spending that much for green flames, a lopsided neon sign and standard definition—nor can I really advise it—as much as the whole decision makes my inner 7-year-old cry.

... a bit more… unique?
The Xbox 360 Arcade Cabinet is just that, an old Midway arcade cabinet retrofitted with an Xbox 360 inside. It's certainly cool looking, but the fact of the matter is that you then have to control your Xbox 360 games with an arcade stick and buttons, which should come in handy for about 1% of games and make the rest unplayable. And you'll pay $2,250 for this right. Yeah, I'll stick to the cheap regular version, thanks.

Who Does This? Xbox 360 Arcade Cabinet For Those Who Are Serious Tools

... HD monitor. I scoff at fools that play 360’s in standard definition, and don’t know why anyone would want to play games on this. For one, the buttons are configured for fighting games, and there is no analog controls to speak of. At any rate, it’s only available for local pick up in Ohio provided you have a Drew Carey sized bank account. Sorry, I couldn’t think of a “Price is Right” joke to fit in there.
