Are very own SpaceGhost2k was featured in the November OXM, he wrote a informative article on faceplates for the 360, and it made me wonder why microsoft didnt market them more and why some pubilshers make cool faceplates, but dont mass produce them. Damn European exclusive's!
huzza, well done, it may be a bit far fetched but would it not be too much to ask oxm if space can have his own little section for faceplates in the magazine?
That's pretty awesome, can't wait to read it.
Ya, awesome stuff.
The problem with a regular faceplate section is that faceplates aren't released regularly like games. Many times, which was a complaint in the article, people don't even know a plate exists until after the fact. In my opinion, that kinda defeats the whole purpose of using them as a marketing tool.
Thank you about the article. I had one written about me and now I've written one myself (along with Dan Amrich, the EOC, of course). I don't see a regular faceplate column happening, but we get along swimmingly and hopefully we'll do more in the future.
That's great news Spacey! I can't wait to read it!
Can someone post it on here to read?
i will take a pic tmrrw in best res possible, i read it and if you did they you might wanna notice its about them adn how they are technically going out of style, still props though i had already done so in pm like a week or so ago...Quote:

Congrats Space. Add another one to your collection. Way to go.
Read it just now, great article. I definitely agree that faceplates should start to become pre-order bonuses.
I just read the final version yesterday. It seems like a couple of things got moved around or something. At one point, I referenced something, but what I was referencing wasn't right above it.
Anyway, I got to talk to Dan Amrich from OXM at the event tonight and I think we'll be able to do more stuff together in the future. He and I click really well.
