Microsoft Relaunches Crystal Xbox in Europe

Microsoft today announced the re-release of the Crystal Xbox across Europe. The "crystal console" was originally released in March of this year as part of a limited edition marketing move. However, it was such a tremendous success, that Microsoft has decided to bring it back on October 8th at the same price as the standard Xbox (?149/?99). Conveniently, that October 8th date is the same date that Microsoft's "Fable" is expected to be released in Europe. There is no mention of the Crystal Xbox making it to the states. However, according to GamesIndustry.biz the console has already come and gone in the US. I don't remember it, but maybe it all happened so fast I missed it...maybe.
