4.0 out of 5 stars Fun Customization for a Reasonable Price, November 25, 2005

This review is from: Xbox 360 Faceplate Hotrod (Video Game)

The XBox 360 comes with a removeable faceplate, allowing you to snap on new faceplates to customize your XBox 360's look.

First, the packaging. All of the XBox components we've bought have come in a thick plasic unit, to keep it safe from thieves I imagine. The faceplate plastic outerwear tells you to cut across the very top with scizzors, to help you open it without damaging the faceplate. However, at the very bottom is the instructions, so you have to dig them out!

To begin installation, you have to of course pry off the starting faceplate. This isn't exactly an easy task. At the very bottom of the faceplate (beneath the USB area) is a slot that you have to pull out on. Unless you have a very strong fingernail, find a screwdriver and pull out gently. That should get the faceplate to pull off straight towards you.

You'll be able to see that there are 4 tabs on the upper face and 3 on the lower face that hold the faceplate on. The tabs don't have "edges" like I've seen on most computer faceplates, they are more rounded. Hopefully this will help them not wear out as quickly, but I'm not sure personally that I would want to continuously add and remove faceplates from this system. The tabs don't look like they would last up to multiple pulls.

Simply press the new faceplate on, and you're all set. I like the blue one shown, but they also have a wood-themed one, a black flame unit and a silver unit.

Is it really necessary to have a new faceplate for your XBox 360? Of course not. But it does add a bit of personalization to your unit, and the price is pretty reasonable!

This review is from: Xbox 360 Faceplates Carbon (Video Game)

This is a great buy, it's very dark and actually kinda feels like carbon fiber. Probably coolest looking faceplate out there, buy this.

This review is from: Xbox 360 Faceplate Halo (Video Game)

This faceplate is really cool, particularly for us Halo fans. The only thing that would be cooler is some matching skin to camoflauge the rest of my 360 to match (as the stark white highly contrasts with the dark colors in the faceplate).
