Pentaborane Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 Just wondering about faceplates in general. Worth getting? Easy to install? Which ones look good / bad? Durable? Do they fit as perfectly as the default one?... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BGM Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 IMO, they all look a bit gash.. if MS released an entire chassis replacement, now that would be a different story :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bah, come on man (chrome is wicked): http://www.consoleservice.nl/images/xbox360/xcm_chrome_3.jpg But as for full armor this would be wicked too: http://www.playfeed.com/blogimages/360_full_case_chrome.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BGM Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 why not try searching eBay for a broken unit, you could then nab its chassis and chrome it all up just like that.. hmmm, i am liking this idea /me looks :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pc_Madness Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 Worth getting? Easy to install? Which ones look good / bad? Durable? Do they fit as perfectly as the default one?... They're same faceplate with a picture sprayed on, so they'll fit on fine. Getting the current face plate off though is a rather daunting task, you have to bend the faceplate abit and it makes me nervous :( But worth it I think. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magik Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 I got the Halo faceplate. Fits perfectly and looks great IMO. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

what Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 I have the generic blue one (i.e. isn't themed to a certain game). Suits my bedroom perfectly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olemus Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 I do like the Faceplate idea but it looks a little wierd with the white body on the rest of the console, depends on wether you can see the sides of your 360 i guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheshire Cat Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 When I eventually buy an x-360 myself, I think I'll either leave it white, or get a total cover skin. I think it looks a little odd with just the front covered, even if you may only ever really see a little bit of it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spartan_X Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 I got the VP faceplate on my 360... :blush: :happy: :yes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrunknMunky Veteran Posted February 28, 2007 Veteran Share Posted February 28, 2007 Personally I don't like the faceplates very much. I used the default one up until January when I received the Lost Planet one free with the CE. One of the few which suits it imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LunarFalcon Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 I got the Halo faceplate free with my copy of Crackdown, and while it is one of the nicer ones, it still looks funny with the white sides of the console still visible. Plus I have a crappy core system, and the white tray (instead of the premium's chrome tray) coming through the blue faceplate looks ridiculous...

Ayepecks Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 My problem with most faceplates is that they don't look too good normally, and rarely do they fit with the 360's color scheme... I like the Lost Planet one because it's white and fits, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could've sworn they had it in matte. :blush: Oh well, what about this one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pentaborane Posted February 28, 2007 Author Share Posted February 28, 2007 For those of you that DO have them, are they easy to install / do they fit properly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
what Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 For those of you that DO have them, are they easy to install / do they fit properly? If you do it right, there aren't any problems. If you try and force it on in any way, obviously it's going to break. You just need to align it right and it'll click on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Nugget Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 I recently just skinned my XBOX 360. WOW! It looks totally awesome. I'll post some pictures later this week. All stickers not a flaceplate but it still looks kick-ass!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
