I'll start this off by saying that I'm making this tutorial because I work with these types of consoles and I re-sell them for a few people that I know and I used to sell them local and know very much about one. I actually have one at my house just sitting down; well let’s get started on this tutorial.
Slim:
You might be asking what is this. It's basically a certain type of Xbox they used to beta-test games and to make games on and to launch betas on it and some betas that are private are development kit only. This kit in the picture is special as it's a Crystal Development XDK which is a Slim that was pre-made before the final casing and software which was a test unit.
Phat:
You might also be asking what is this. It's another type of Xbox they used to beta-test games but this is the Phat older version
