Two years before the release of bizarre sim Playboy: The Mansion - effectively Theme Porno, in which titillation went hand-in-hand (or something else in hand) with the triviality of the publishing business - Hugh Hefner's softcore jazz mag was already making Xboxes sticky.
With customised decals, that is. As part of a ludicrously conceived competition exclusive to Australia, gamers down under had the opportunity to win a version of Microsoft's debut console bedecked with gaudy prints of model Penelope Jimenez. The clear-crystal (actually plastic) Xbox was even signed by the then-Playmate of the Month, as though that was something people would be proud to show off.
Only one version of the Playboy Xbox was made, exclusive to the lucky/unlucky winner, who somehow managed to shift the taccy console for $166 in a 2012 eBay auction.
