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

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).

I like cars, and love those carbon fibre hoods, if youre looking to give your Xbox a racy feel this it, its discreet yet it is very cool

Had a small yet deep 1/8th inch scratch on one edge (black marker fixed) and the spring for the front USB lid was completely busted (had to replace with spring from old face plate), and it clearly was labeled as "used, but in like-new condition." ... But, I'm just happy with it because it looks so darn cool on my black 360 case with the blue LEDs on the back fan. Besides those two things, I was very happy.

If I had to find one word to descirbe my Viva Pinata faceplace, I would choose "festive". The colors are vibrant, rich and of high quality. I've had this cover for about a year now and it still looks brand new: no fading, no cracks, no wear of any sort.

The assembly was very simple and has stayed tight and secure ever since I first installed it. If you think you're Xbox is looking plain-- or heck even your living room as a whole-- this console plate will add a whole new demension and bring life to your area of habitation. It's a good price too, so enjoy.

P.S.- It was my fiance who found this on Amazon and proposed an Xbox facelift, and fellas, I suggest you do anything whithin your humanly capability to keep you female partner interested in and excited about your beloved Xbox console. This warm, fun-loving cover is one one of those things. But I might also suggest the Viva Pinata game itself, and always be willing to buy her DLC when she gets bored. Those small things are a great investment that will help insure stability with your relationship-- and more importantly, her willingness to let you while away your days on your new favorite video game. (JK about the last part, your relationship is more important, duh.) *crosses fingers and hopes political statment reassures fiance of his commitment to her always-prevailing happiness*

Anyway, enjoy your cover!

I saw this and the carbon fiber looking face plate at the 99 cents store a few months back. Just wanted to let people know to check there first if you have one nearby

The faceplate came right on time and looks great! Had no problems paying or getting the faceplate.

This faceplate is OEM and fits perfectly. Doesn't interfere with any buttons or plugs either. However, the main reason to buy it is for its strikingly attractive bright Pinata colors. If you need to make a statement with your Xbox 360 beyond the muted white, buy this!

I bought this item because a friend of mine had bought it when it first came out. Ever since then I wanted one. I finally got the time to go find it online and went to Amazon hoping they would have it. I was not disappointed. When I received the package, the item was in perfect condition. I love the look of it and am loving my gaming time even more. I can't wait till my friends see it. I definitely recommend this product for any Halo fan and anyone else who wants to make their Xbox 360 stick out from the crowd.
