Interesting typo, or is it? |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1556 Joined: 21 Nov 2007  | Very good article Susan, you've given me inspiriation to make something useful from my spare, broken 360. Hopefully that something will be art! Probably not though. |

It's what Ed said, so it's what I wrote. Grammatically incorrect, true, but I figured it was enough of a part of the vernacular to be acceptable. Also, I totally want an Escapist faceplate. |

I've just got a mental image of a couple of sweaty engineers stealing photos off the streets, and welding them together as if new. And you know a Yahtzee faceplate would sell like...a thing that sells a lot. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 3643 Joined: 3 Apr 2008     | gimme that damn faceplate or make a zp one and what I would give for a custom counterstrike one All this is banking on the fact they I might be getting a 360 |

My friend has a case mod like that one for his PC. Shows off two nvidia 9800GTXs. |

That is stupid amounts of hot. |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 3252 Joined: 8 May 2008 |
how do you mean, hot as in tempurature or hot as in "ooh, baby check out that hard drive"? |
Senior Editor Posts: 2277 Joined: 9 Jan 2007 |
The latter...though, given that it's a 360, I suppose both are applicable. |

which is why I had to answer the question, still with that bit chunk of the side missing it might not get quite so hot |

Me too, it would be totally awesome. I think you guys should look into that, and maybe add it to the Escapist store, be sure to make a PS3 one too though :P User was banned for: Poll: Round 5 - Field of Four - (1) Turbine vs (1) Nintendo. (Permanent) |

Not Just Another Pretty Face(plate)
"Xbox 360 owners can personalize their consoles by swapping out the removable plate that snaps on to the front of the unit. You can find faceplates featuring art from games like Assassin's Creed or a simulated wood grain finish quite easily online or in retails stores. Other, more exotic designs are available from Japanese sellers. True collectors lust after the limited edition faceplates that PR firms hand out at industry events such as E3 - they often go for big bucks on auction sites like eBay. But why settle for something ordinary or pay a fortune for a limited edition model when you pay a pittance for something that's truly one of a kind?"
