    Default XBox 1 Faceplates

    Hi everyone,

    I was down in the bat cave and came across two unique items I own from the first Xbox days. They appear to be official Microsoft XBox 1 faceplates. They are numbered 2 and 4. I know very little about them other than they are very hard to come by which is why I snatched up the 2nd one when I had the chance. I'm assuming that there are at least 4 variants just due to the numbering on the boxes. Do any of you have any information on these XB1 plates? Do any of you own some of these XB1 plates. And most importantly... if you have plates I don't, would you be willing to sell? Here are pix of my 2 plates. Enjoy!

    Those are cool, but I'm skeptical about them being official. I've never heard anything about them and the photo of the instructions doesn't have any kind of MS markings or logos, aside from the official website. The website for the email address (xbpr.com) no longer exists too. I think you may have some high quality aftermarket plates there.
    But who knows - MS did all kinds of stuff to try to get Japanese gamers into the Xbox that never appeared in the west. This could be one of them. A cool find none the less!

    those are nice but i dont think they are microsoft brand cause if they were i would have seen em around during the XB1 era but i think they are a 3rd party company in japan that makes them

    Default More info?

    I googled the e-mail address and came up with one hit:

    http://translate.google.com/translat....com%26hl%3Den

    It's a press release from 2003 at the official Microsoft Xbox Japan site. I think the plates were part of a contest or special promotion maybe.

    Dude, if you can track those down, I'm going to recommend you as a replacement for Sherlock Holmes.

    I can still see them, are you at work?
    Pot is a plant,
    That grows in the ground.
    If god didn't want it,
    It wouldn't be around.
    So all you fuckers that don't get high,
    Shut the fuck up and give it a try.
