Post em' up!
 
Trouble is that faceplate is hideous. Game should be interesting though. :D

I kinda like the official carbon fiber-ish one, but honestly I just stick with the stock one.

+1 The original 360 one is perfect for me.
 
This thread reminded me to check to see if the Halo 3 faceplate/skin combo listed at eb.com finally got an image to go with it.

Considering the Chief has been completely retextured, I was hoping for a more, um, updated image for the skin. :(

Looks like I'll be sticking with the standard, plain one.
 
I bought the Halo trilogy one and the stupid button for pairing up the wireless controllers to the system was broken. So it just has a bit hole in the front. Ticks me off. I really wanted to start flying my Halo colours and I wound up just wasting 20 bucks.

Why not return it?
 
What the hell is the point of giving it to store managers? F*uck that, sell that shit cuz you know someone (like me) will buy it. Geez...
 
Why would you ruin the clean look of your 360 with horrible over-busy crap like that?
 
guess it depends upon your idea of cool. i got two kinda neat ones that are supposed to be rare (like only 200 of each i believe, as they're numbered. i'd check but mine are shoved away in some box atm). i prefer the plain white one though.

you can check the two here.
i'm too lazy to crop and resize and all that

I don't get it either. Problem is, even if they have an nice image or design, they don't match the white of the box itself and hence look tacked-on. The ones with stickers on the side look just as bad. If not worse actually.

The idolmaster one actually tries to match the white sides of the 360 itself, so by default it's the best one I've ever seen.

edit: the ones soco posted are also match the white box a bit which would make them look better than most I think.
 
I like the idea of faceplates but they are always too damned expensive in stores. If they were around $5 I'd collect them like trading cards.

Not to mention all the good looking ones seem to be very limited. Wasted opportunity if you ask me.

Even then, I wouldn't actually want that in my lounge room.
 
Someone needs to make one with a terminator face on it using the power button as an eye . . . so at least when your xbox eventually dies you get a cool looking terminator with a blinking red eye.
 
One thing I never understood about the faceplates out there is they they are almost never designed with the 360's features in mind. They never work with or around the various ports, the disc tray, and especially the ring of light. They look exactly like they are: A cool image pasted over a faceplate, with bits missing and others distorted.

Mind you, I do like one faceplate... the original E3 limited edition. Classy, understated, fits a normal 360's colour scheme:

This is exactly why I don't use any faceplates. There are a couple where the faceplace graphics don't extend all of the way to the sides, so that it still blends with the rest of the console. (iM@S one is pretty close to that.) Those faceplates, I could use. If the graphic extend all of the way to the edge, so that it then looks tacked on to the 360, I can't stand that look.

I would, though, LOVE to get ahold of the "console" one. That always cracked me up, and that one I'd make an exception for.

Looks great.

But on the other hand I find the prices of the faceplates a little too much...20e for a piece of plastic? no I don't think so.
