Ripped from the ourcolony vid by me, because I love my colony.

M3wThr33 · (05-13-2005, 05:19 AM)

Oh yeah, that'll sell the 360.
"CONSOLE"

Prine · (05-13-2005, 05:19 AM)

sexy!

I like the swirly one

Grab them Cakes and your Cellular Phone,
Jump in yo' car with the wood-grain chrome!
Dial the digits, One Two three:
Share them cakes with you and me!

sprsk · (05-13-2005, 05:20 AM)

haha i want one that says CONSOLE

Nos_G · (05-13-2005, 05:20 AM)

What's behind the faceplate? does it show the innards?

If so, a transparent face plate would rock.

TheDuce22 · (05-13-2005, 05:21 AM)

I want one like this to come with madden.

StoOgE · (05-13-2005, 05:21 AM)

I like the idea, just not any of these.

Not really... there's a shiny metal case and the "radio plate" that communicates with the joypads.

Datawhore · (05-13-2005, 05:24 AM)

The Red faceplate is actually pretty nice. Mine at launch.

VALIS · (05-13-2005, 05:24 AM)

Some are okay and some of those are just... oof.

Ramirez · (05-13-2005, 05:24 AM)

Halo,kthxbye.

Nos_G · 05:32 AM

Cool, thanks for answering that Jonny.

In any case they should make a transparent one, regardless. That way people can mod it like that Logitech Playgear case for PSP.

J2 Cool · (05-13-2005, 05:32 AM)

Hmm, if they give me a bag of em at launch, maybe I'll switch em like wallpaper, but otherwise the console's pretty sleek as is. A lot of these are just too busy.

maximum360 · (05-13-2005, 05:33 AM)

Where's my chrome face plate?

VPhys · (05-13-2005, 05:36 AM)

Nothing of interest.

newsguy · (05-13-2005, 05:46 AM)

Ahhh, a plethora of faceplates and not one matches my home theater. Maybe I'll just buy one and paint it, that way if I screw up I still have the original to put back on.

Pedigree Chum · (05-13-2005, 05:51 AM)

Really like that one.

rsilva13 · (05-13-2005, 05:53 AM)

I'm eyeing off the woodgrain one, i like that one the best

Docpan · (05-13-2005, 05:54 AM)

No, seriously, it's a CONSOLE.

Inumaru · (05-13-2005, 06:05 AM)

The CONSOLE one is hilariously retro sleek. I want. You haters have no style.

The Abominable Snowman · (05-13-2005, 06:10 AM)

Is it wrong to want a solid one-color faceplate?

blackadde · (05-13-2005, 06:13 AM)

Replace the word 'console' with 'helvetica' and I'd buy it just to put on my wall. The rest of them however look like DeviantArt rejects.

They said they're making them in the video. There will be LOTS of choice, and I can imagine them coming out with ltd. ones with premium versions of games too.

aoi tsuki · (05-13-2005, 06:20 AM)

Such a simple yet profitable idea. i'm sure someone will let you upload your own design to be printed on a plate at an extra cost. i wouldn't be surprised if you could order these stock plates on the new Live! service.

scola · (05-13-2005, 07:23 AM)

This is a good excuse to repost my ICY HOT MODDERZ

Dsal · (05-13-2005, 08:22 AM)

Strangely enough, this one matches the colors in our living room. The wife will be pleased.

lexi · (05-13-2005, 08:26 AM)

Some of those would look awesome without the RING OF LIGHT™

Striek · (05-13-2005, 08:29 AM)

They all look gaudy.

Drexon · (05-13-2005, 08:29 AM)

I like a lot of them. :) This'll get the mod scene going too btw. Custom made fronts and all.

n-off · (05-13-2005, 08:38 AM)

what a messed up way to make money.

Tunesmith · (05-13-2005, 09:48 AM)

if they end up cheap i'll get this one

otherwise i'll skip the gimmick.

Nightbringer · (05-13-2005, 09:51 AM)

I'm now thinking: "¿Cómo se dice hortera en inglés?"

golem · (05-13-2005, 10:26 AM)

not too shabby

KingV · (05-13-2005, 10:30 AM)

Not sure why somebody are hating on this idea. It might not be something everyone takes part in, but it's a nice option to offer.

Andy787 · (05-13-2005, 10:31 AM)

I'd buy a PlayStation 3 faceplate.

Drek · (05-13-2005, 10:42 AM)

Having seen these on the MTV thing last night, I'm not real cool with them. They all seem very out of place on the front of the all white Xbox. Ruins what asthetic appeal the Xbox 360 had going for it in the first place.

CabbageRed · (05-13-2005, 10:50 AM)

Unless one is absurdly cool looking and has a gradient to work around what Drek mentioned, I cannot see myself buying one. Still, it is nice idea should drop a little extra money in the pockets of publishers with rabid fans. A white faceplate with Sonic, Master Chief, a DOA character, etc. on it would sell.

Nick Laslett · (05-13-2005, 11:02 AM)

Face plates... the path to a profitable console business.

Stuff the games, bring on the accessories

byproduct · (05-13-2005, 11:10 AM)

I love the idea of faceplates but I don;t like any of these :(

n-off · (05-13-2005, 11:46 AM)

they should bring out some faceplates for those ugly controllers. maybe there'll be some faceplates for the players as well.

So then don't get a faceplate. Problem solved.

Dr_Cogent · (05-13-2005, 01:01 PM)

Personally, I think the faceplate idea is fucking dumb.

Reference the post above yours plz

Azih · (05-13-2005, 01:06 PM)

I'm betting a ton of 'special editions' of games will come with their own faceplate.

also it's really easy to put something like this as a pre-order bonus.

I can still think it's dumb belgurdo.

“So then don't get a faceplate. Problem solved”

Well done! He'll think twice before stating his opinion again.

ETA on unofficial 2001: A Space Odyssey faceplate = ? I'm looking at you overseas websites of questionable repute.
