xyleminku. I got two of the six.

That's Brent Soboleski, the founder of the site, so the auction is legit. He has 10 available on the auction, but I wouldn't be surprised if he was still sitting on a couple hundred plates or more.

**EDIT** PS, if you win one, ask him to autograph it for you. Tell him SpaceGhost2K sent you.

I'm totally going to grab one and ask him to sign it. Good find 159!

Looks like our friends in Japan will be getting a couple of exclusive bundles. Check out the Star Ocean bundle which includes a faceplate.

[gameking28]

You know I would really be interested in finding out whether these bundles actually boost xbox hardware sales in Japan. It seems like every time a Japanese RPG developer brings out a new game Microsoft is right there with a console bundle.

[OBL infad3ll]

i wonder if that bundle that has RE5 in it will have a faceplate then?

[SpaceGhost2K]

I still don't have the console-exclusive Tales of Vesperia plate. Or the Last Remnant plate. I did manage to get an Infinite Undiscovery plate pretty cheap, though.

[SuperMonkeyHero]

I was just about to post the same Star Ocean bundle news. Looks like the RE5 bundle doesn't have a faceplate packaged in but with the Lost Planet, Dead Rising & DMC4 faceplates coming out of the UK we may not be completely out of luck. (Crossing fingers and everything else that can be crossed!!!)

Spacey did you get my email with the horrible picture and the starting details of my faceplate collection display? After counting I have 43 up and 34 to go.

Hey Everyone! I received an email today from Capcom about the Street Fighter IV Arcade sticks and controllers coming from Madcatz. Along with all that there was mention of 2 Street Fighter IV Faceplate/Skins bundles. Here's the details:


• Official Street Fighter IV Faceplate and Console Skinz™ – Xbox 360

Featuring custom Street Fighter IV artwork, the highly collectible Faceplate and Console Skinz allow gamers to customize their Xbox 360 console. Safe and totally removable, the Console Skinz wrap around the top and bottom of the console and when combined with the Faceplate, create a stunning Street Fighter IV backdrop. Available in a choice of two striking designs, the Street Fighter IV Faceplate and Console Skinz present an eye-catching addition to any gamer’s living room.

Unfortunately there were no links to pictures in the press release but as soon as I or one of you XBA faithful come across them they'll get posted.

[SpaceGhost2K]

Yes, I did, and I got your text today. I just hate texting so I didn't reply.

Europe only. Amazon.uk won't ship video game stuff to the US.

I just got a decent paycheck and pre-ordered the street fighter 4 version 2 faceplate and skin at gamestop, cant wait!

[hellonearth159]

Does this look like the biggest load of BULLS##T ever?
This guy is claiming what looks like a child drawing is an exclusive NXE plate.
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Exclusive-E3-X...mZ200303236477


This is what he has on the auction

"Hello, the item you are currently looking at is an exclusive XBOX 360 faceplate, which I won in a competition during the E3 games festival. There were only 10 of these made to celebrate the announcment of the NXE (New XBOX Experience) Live update. However; I really dont want to put it on my XBOX as I have an Elite system, which is black, I think it would look stupid, don't you?

The bottom "flap" to the USB ports has been and is still sucured with selotape, I can only assume this was to aid the printing of the design onto the face plate. Other astetic features that i havent shown in the pictures are, a car, ala Forza 2, and two soldiers fighting it out, ala Call of Duty 4. The faceplate was designed by various artists from different game developers (Turn11 & Finity Ward)

Due to the exclusive nature of this faceplate I will only accept bids from within the UK and only PayPal payment will be accepted.

HAPPY BIDDING & GOOD LUCK!!!"

[SpaceGhost2K]

Just a hunch, but I'm gonna have to say... huh uh.

[Variation-XBA]

Hahahahhaa..... someone needs to buy that plate... hahah

[hellonearth159]

BTW, this is what the NXE plate from E3 really looks like.

[lonewolfie13]

I just sent a fraudulent item report on ebay for that faceplate, we dont need that crap.

Sorry i hate ebay scammers, and it doesnt help that my Prey faceplate is up on ebay, he might draw a Prey faceplate and everyone thinks mine is the fake and wont buy it ROFL

It is pretty funny tho...
