I'm bidding on WALL-E faceplate ... how ironic
**** CONTEST FOREVER seriously whats the point this is the third flame and final one hopefully but this seems to be the only way since the point of contest is to bring in new members but the new members stay for one post posting that they won and claiming their prize. i am sorry ghost that your donation was forgotten and sorry that people are such asses, if you are in a money squeeze its most likely your own fault or some bad stuff happened it happens to all of us and exploiting people and their kindness adn generosity is ****ed up.![]()
I know this is probably the wrong threqad to post this but ai just got an e-mail from ebay saying that the cliffy b signed facepalate has been removed.. Is it still for sale?
No idea, I didnt remove it........
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.
Epic Games was, Like, No way man! and removed it, and then said they'd take further legal action if I re-listed it, You got your way Var.

Wow. I wonder how Messy Media has listed over 15 different Gears plates and one that's SIGNED gets the boot.
Well, chicken, there's still probably a chance you could sell it to someone in here. Epic's lawyers have jumped the gun before and Mark Rein had to "rein" them in.
Now that's weird - what legal right do they have over a home-made faceplate that Cliff willingly signed - he signed one just like yours for me less than a week ago at Comic-Con and commented on how cool it was.
I think they're just trying to scare you man but I'm no lawyer so I don't really know if they have a valid argument. I guess I don't really know why they would care. Maybe they have plans for their own GOW2 faceplate?
I think someone here would probably take it off your hands so you're not totally screwed. Either way I'm bummed for you man.![]()
No, no, no, I didnt mean it like that Var, I mean how you wanted me to sell it to XBA first, I guess thats the way it goes, cant ebay
GameKing:
I email'd this 'Jay@epicgames.com' he said MadCatz pays alot of money to make there faceplates, I eamiled him back tonight, Telling him, why I was selling, and It was werid becuase I see gears of war customs quite alot on ebay.

I emailed Jay and told him you were a poo-poo head for trying to sell that plate.
Zing.
Actually, I did just send him a VERY long email explaining about the site, the plates, etc. I let him know that Cliffy B happily signed them and liked them, and even asked me to make two plates for HIM. And Epic President Mike Capps has a custom Epic Games/Unreal plate made by me on his Xbox, that was a gift from his fiancee.
They HAVE to protect their IP in every instance If they let one slide, they set a precedent of "tolerance" that might come back to bite them in the butt if someone ever started cranking these things out in a bigger scale.
I know they've laid the smackdown on a couple of other fanmade items, but I don't know if those things were attempted to be sold on eBay or not. One sculpture was just a gift to a friend, I think, when their lawyers jumped down their throats. Mark Rein had to offer an apology to the gaming community.
Personally, I think it was the high price that plate was going for that drew the attention.
Chicken,
I heard back from Jay and all I gotta says is... he's a hell of a guy. One more reason why I love Epic Games. He's going to be sending you an email back so look for it.
I was thinkin of starting to collect. I started browsin on ebay and found a few that looked good. Any suggestions??
Need For Speed Pro Street
Dice Xbox 360 faceplate
Gorillaz Xbox 360 faceplate
Saints Row New Zeland
Can anyone tell me if its worth bidding/buying these?? Is there any background info on these faceplates??
Those 4 plates would be a great start to anyone's collection. They're all fairly rare - NFSPS and Saints Row more than the other 2. The database will give you a better background but if you're serious about starting with those expect to have a huge hole in your bank account after the fact.![]()
