NextBox will absolutely NOT support these faceplates. It's a question whether it will use some kind of faceplate at all, but I think it will.

People collect lots of stuff, and you generally don't understand why people would collect something that's not of interest to you. There are people who collect Avon aftershave bottles, sculpted teddy bears that aren't even plush, windchimes, plates, shoes they'll never wear, DVDs they'll never watch, toys they'll never play with...

You can have a number of things yet not be a collector. I have a half-dozen bobbleheads over my computer desk, but I don't collect them. I happened into these and now have a number of them. To "collect" them, I would have to be looking for them, and actually putting out effort to build a collection.

For me, faceplates are just like 12 in. x. 3 in. game-related posters. Plus, unlike a poster, I can make plates myself if a plate I want doesn't exist. I made a plate for the cancelled Xbox game, "The Unseen." That plate would never exist if I didn't make it myself.

So what DO you collect then?
