360 Faceplate Collections
Just wondering... anyone on here collect faceplates for the 360? I was browsing ebay awhile back and was thinking that would be a neat thing to collect. Particularly with all of the limited runs/preorders/e3 ones.
I got a few of the e3 launch party ones a few years back (I actually got one for a security guy who was working the show in exchange for a few extra vouchers)
i dont really collect, but i have all 6 Ace Combat 6 faceplates and all 5 of the Eternal Sonata ones. and the Bioshock one.
i wish i had some of the other ones ive seen, but they are just too damn expensive!
Where do you get 'em from usually? Retailers?
I don't really collect them but I have a couple of cool ones, E305 is my favorite. Below is a debug xbox with a faceplate signed by the hardware development team. I like that one too. The european bioshock faceplate is better then the one we got in america.
The only others i'd buy are the faceplate with the orange "Console" printed on the front. (Japanese prototype), and the japanese chromehounds plate...
(Pardon the gigantic picture)
Nice. I've been picking a few off ebay from work today... and started a thread in buying and selling. Might as well start something
I do want that Bioshock one, that one's a beaut.
the only faceplate I want is the Toyer/Qee faceplate...want it now!!!

I would like to collect them but damn are some of the better ones too expensive. I have two which are Full Auto(butt ugly) and The Outfit and would like to get the one for Blue Dragon and Bioshock.
i haven't found very many that look that great on an Elite. the Bioshock one might look alright though...
Anyone know of a list of 360 faceplates ?

You really should get someone from Microsoft to clean that up for you

I got a few off ebay - Blue Dragon, Assassin's Creed, a few Eternal Sonatas and a few Tropicana Twisters ($3 a pop, what the hell
Having fun!
Anybody blingin' out their Xbox 360 with the woodgrain faceplate?

I'm actually in that situation, and speaking of cool faceplates. The console below red ringed on me once. It still works fine, but i'm not going to risk running it. I can't get a guarantee from microsoft that they'll send back the same console so it just sits on a shelf now.You really should get someone from Microsoft to clean that up for you
I'm somewhat pissed.
The Toy2r Qee one is on the upper right. Here's the rest of my small collection:
Lost Planet
Zero Hour
Bioshock
Dead or Alive Xtreme 2
Launch Team 2005 (UK)
Blue Dragon
Adidas "It takes 5ive"
Toy2r Qee
Eternal Sonata (5)
Most were purchased on ebay. Definitely not going for quantity - there are a ton of faceplates out there but only a handful I don't consider ugly and/or worthless. Unfortunately the remaining ones are $100+ each and that's just too much.
ProgrammingAce - I really like that US Launch Team Faceplate.
fcw3 - Here's a good faceplate database:

Very cool stuff. There was a Bioshock one on the bay that went for 75 or so yesterday. Yeesh.
Actually I have the woodgrain faceplate on my elite. It kind of looks like a giant 2600 now.
Growing old is mandatory, growing up is optional.
I had this one when I owned a 360 as well. I really liked the look of it too!
I actually haven't been able to find one of the wood ones. They've vanished!
A local Toys R Us, a few blocks down the road from me, is clearing out their remaining faceplates: the woody and the sparkly silver one.
I picked up the Woody for $3.20 and the Silver for $1.50. They had at least 5 more of each at the time (about a week ago).
