hope you dont have to be the donkey, i had to play it with my sister and we got stuck lol

No I have to be Shrek .... the wife gets to be Donkey (AHAHAHAHAHAHA) and my little one is Fiona most of the time.

I got stuck too, got fed up and gave up. When I came back my 3 year old showed me how to do the bit that I was stuck on ...... sob.

Then I couldn't defeat puss in boots - lots of rapid button pressing for ages. Wife did it first go.

The shame is unbearable.

I had to buy my 3 year old her own xbox to get her off mine grrr and now she makes me play Shrek 2 with her.

Behave, you wouldn't have it any other way !

I think it looks absolutely shocking.. why anyone would cover the minimal, sleek, sexy white design with that shoddy crap i'll never know :/

Elrein · 5 Feb 2006 at 12:12

I might be wrong but i think its called "freedom of expression"

Man it would be a boring old world if that didnt exist

I think he was being sarcastic there Elrein, tongue in cheek so to speak

Although I agree and wouldnt put anything that garish on mine, its nice to be able to customise them in whatever way you like

I went for the subtle look (also known as the 'Ghetto' E3 limited edition faceplate

)

If any consoles came off the production line looking like that then i'd have to slit my throat.

I'm all for QUALITY modifications like really nice paint jobs etc. I just think 'stickers' to make your £300 console look horrible is wrong.

Its like the worst windows wallpaper ever, plastered over one of the sexiest pieces of gaming hardware ever to be released.

WHAT!!! · 5 Feb 2006 at 12:37

I must admit it looks very nice and I have seen a few skins I would'nt Mind using my self.

Are there any UV or Glow in the dark skins out there that can be bought ?

Looks good...but the little white bits showing here almost ruin in.

I agree, if you couldn't see white it would look ace, although it's not my style of skin.

Nismo, where'd you get that faceplate? It's the only one I could see myself buying

Nismo · 5 Feb 2006 at 14:25

www.360covers.com

They do a matching top and bottom piece as well as the face plate if you want them.

Thanks a lot

Ouch some horribly harsh comments about skinning here.
The 360 is indeed sexy and slinky looking and mine is unskinned but not everyone wants their 360 to look the same as everyone elses. It was even designed to have changeable face plates.
Personally I'd like mine to be black and chrome and none of the skins can avoid showing the white airgrills which is a shame.

I am definitely skinning my 2 old xboxes though because they are UGLEH in the extreme although once my daughters one is shocking pink it's going to be worse than normal lol.

Go for it mate!

They look much better skinned. Here's a pic of the one I used to own.
