Thread: New xbox 360 = end of current faceplates ?

  1. #1

    Default New xbox 360 = end of current faceplates ?

    hi all,
    i was wondering...
    With the new console design i guess old faceplates won't work with the new console. Or will they ?

    Does the "new" 360 even allow faceplate changing ?

    Just wondering...

    PS

    PS
    no faceplates for the slims. If you look, the eject button is a touch button molded into the face.

    I REALLY want one of the new controllers. They are all black with a chrome guide button. Look sick.

    Anyone want to sell/swap me one?

    Doesn't seem like a big change in size. More USB ports though =P

    Wow... Not really much of a difference in size.

    Also, can I use Kineck on the original 360? Or do I have to spend money on another bull**** system in order to play this?

    So the new Xbox 360 means the end of our hobby as we know it? I still have a few blank faceplates I wanted to paint on. I guess nothing can last forever.

    The new way to customize the console would be to detail the whole case.

    I think this will make your guys's hobby even more expensive lol, hopefully it's not the end, maybe they'll include the slim's hardware into the regular future 360's and produce the larger and slim versions both, but Sony never did that so I don't think microsoft will.

    I was going to make a thread, but I guess I'll use this one.

    The new Xbox is glossy black and the front of the box does not come off. It also has touch sensitive buttons (is the right term "capacitive?") which probably means that you wont' be able to skin them, either.

    I will have one of these consoles next week where I can get a better look at it.

    I do know that they are 15% smaller, have vents on the sides over the motherboard, still have an external power supply and the power brick is only 130w.

    The hard drive plugs into the end under a vent. It seems to me that if they wanted a $199 Arcade version, all they would have to do is ship the same unit, accessories and all, without the HDD.

    The good part is that there are still 40 million "old skool 360's" out there, and will be for a while. And, like most collectibles, as they get older, they will become of interest to different people. Many collectors don't start collecting something until its ten years old.

    Pavel, nice to see you again, and I would say go ahead and paint those plates. I pimped plates to a lot of people at E3 and interest was high.

    Touch Sensitive? Something like the PS3's eject and power buttons? Where it's not an actual button but you put your finger on it for a second or two and it starts the console or ejects the disc?

    Only eject is touch. Everything else is the same. Still have to actually press the power and sync buttons.

    Ah, lazy microsoft, but eh, the power button on the ps3 is actually very annoying seeing as it's a real arms length away from my seat so I usually have to reach over and hold it for a little bit lol.

    WOOOH Go Var! I feel like getting one now, and taking apart my old one to try and pimp it out and what not XD It'll look sexy standing in front of my fat Ps3 and PC.

    I'll know more when I get mine next week. Stores around here are getting pretty good quantities and selling them as fast as they get them. For instance, one store I visit all the time received 18 consoles and sold them all by the end of the day.

    The touch sensitive controls also generate a small chime so you know if you hit it or not.
