Crystal Icing Swarovski crystal faceplate for Xbox 360

Continuing a trend that we love to cover but hope will go away very, very soon, that rare bird the Xbox 360 can now be all gawdied-up with Swarovski crystals to match your nano, 650, and J III. Xbox 360 Fanboy reports that Crystal Icing is adding the new 'box to the growing list of products that they "improve" by making them prime targets for subway-snatching. We'd drone on some more about this silliness but we need to grab our Bling Kit, slap together our own crappy version of this 'plate, and sell it to that dude who bought a homemade 360 cardboard box for $600.

Crystals? Are you kidding me! Come on guys! What is happening to this world where men decorate every thing with crystals. Can you imagine John Wayne, James Dean, Burt Renolds, or even your own father decorating things with "Crystals"? Think back to when you were a kid and seen girls wearing glitter on themselves. Did you say to yourself ooh pretty or get that shift away from me? This is a sad day when men want to be like Paris with her "Crystals".

not all gamers are guys... most of us are, but there are some gamer chicks out there too.

Girl gamers, I think thats just a rumor...

Stop saying natch!

Hey! We chick gamers most certainly exist! Though I wouldn't waste money on adding crystals or stickers or any other ridiculous item to my PS2 or XBox...nor did I wear glitter back in the day! Blech. Gets bloody everywhere!

I would like to meet the fellow who paid $600 for the cardboard box...there's this lovely lovely bridge out of Manhattan I'd like to sell him...

At this point, Microsoft will do ANYTHING to quickly resolve the overheating XBox360 issue.

Swarovski is a bit over the top. The stock case is nice enough... The prices on ebay are also reasonable enough to pick one up.

Actually, that xbox doesn't have that faceplate on it. Check out the pre-photoshopped photo taken by my friend.

In regards to that post showing an xbox in front of a tree.. our customer sent us the picture of his faceplate we did for him on the xbox. We didn't know where he got the xbox from.. just that it was our faceplate! Thanks for looking! Oh.. and you can also get DIY kits at crystalicing.com if you'd like a less expensive alternative. Happy New year!
