Xbox Gets Girly in Japan

After previewing the campaign at the Tokyo Game Show last month, Microsoft today fully unveiled its "Kisekae X" sweepstakes promotion in Japan today. The name translates as "dress up your X" -- Microsoft commissioned six popular Japanese illustrators to create special overlay artwork for the big "X" on top of the Xbox console.
A few lucky winners will be able to snag these art pieces by signing up on Microsoft's Japanese webpage with the serial number of their Xbox. American fans obviously can't enter, but we'll offer a brief profile of each piece nonetheless.

I like the second one the best, the others just don't do it for me. If you ask me, though, I would say that they should draw more geometrical figures and have more blue, black, and green shades.

Yea, those dont look too great, but anything to generate interest, especially in Japan where there are basically no xboxes.

Go here if you want some really cool skins. It may not work the first time, so be patient.

Those all look pretty bad. I love my green and black:cool: Although, some of the skins on the web do look pretty slick.
