Hellonearth159's Console Collection

**SpaceGhost2K** · 11-22-2010

I just added 25 more plates to the database. Two of the plates were spotted in a video that was filmed in that room.

http://www.xboxaddict.com/xbox-360-faceplates/

They're #2 and #3 on that list. Click on the plates and you'll see stills from the video.

Grant, do you have better photos of anything else faceplate or console related from that room? It looks like there might be two more plates (at least).

They have over 30 plates on display in Xbox Japan. I'd give my left nut for any one of them, and I bet they took them all out when the new Xbox came out. Probably in the trash or a drawer somewhere.

Sucks.

**EDIT** Ah, nevermind. I see now those are one and the same. Just need to do a little image switching. Probably not tonight, though.

AT that event mate, there were only complete consoles on display, no single faceplates. The one with the checkers was the front of Mark Webber's signed unit. The Red faceplate you can see is the one on the guitarist that you can see in the group shot of the consoles in their ad which you have in the post on page 5, there's a 'Pink' one for the console with the model on it in the groups shot within the room.

I have been pushing some of the publishers over here to do some unique consoles for PR work or charity outside of MS's annual Konsole For Kids. They have had 2-3 charity auctions so far now, so there's at least 20- 30 odd consoles out there (Aust) that you might find interesting.

If I see any, I'll be sure to keep you guys informed.

Consoles are way out of my $$$ range. If they ever want to do some faceplates, I can get those done myself for you. I've done a dozen here and there for a number of people, and did one order over 30,000+ pieces. Doesn't have to be for them, either. If you need some for your guys or something. You can always go to fa.subcostume.com to play around with the faceplate image editor, but if you decide to do something, hit me up first because I can do a quantity for a lot less than doing it through the site.

No probs mate, will def keep you in mind, and as mentioned to 'Hellonearth', I'd be interested in discussing ppl with extensive collections for a page/semi-site I'm working on for 'Kollectables' . . . .

I can always drop your details to some pf the PR ppl to see if they might want to use your services at any time, so use my email in my profile to contact me 'personaly'

As a collector, but somewhat of a smaller collector than yourself of course, and running a community website, I was wondering if there's the possibility of doing a small feature on you, and of course your collections.

This of course will help your thread and OXCGN of course. .

Please feel free to check the site out, and let me know your thoughts on my proposal.

By the way, I did at one stage have a Kasumi light blue 1st-gen xbox, but sold it when I needed funds years ago.

I currently only have 5 1st-gen limited edition 1st-gen xbox's, PGR 2 Limited Edition Speed Bundle, 2, Halo ELite bundles, UK crystal, a Hello Kitty Dreamcast (1/750), Nintendo Virtual-boy, but my collection has shrunk over the years due to personal reason, mostly own games and CE/LE games now.

ANyhow, let me know your thoughts

Grant

Hello,
I've checked out your web site. Very nice. I'm ok with you doing a story about the console collection or the faceplate collection as long as you include links to this site.
Please let me know if you need more pictures or information.

The two fuzzy images of faceplates from this showroom video have now been replaced in the database with clearer photos. I will add others and improve the descriptions when I get a chance. I have to go add one more plate just to get us back over the 1,700 mark.

I noticed that this years NCAA football plates are missing from the database. There were also a pair of generic looking Yankees and red sox plates floating around for a while.

Here are links to them on ebay.
