Now... if they offered a glow-in-the-dark controller too
I'd pick one up.
Meh, the alligator one is better.

buuuut... you can BUY the alligator one?
I can't even go to sleep with this thing running cause the fan sounds like a gas turbine. I doubt I'd get any sleep at all with this thing glowing bright at night.
Does it come with a cover to cover it up at night?
I've been looking everywhere for a similar case for my DS :P
This one looks pretty awesome though: http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.10859~r.94125401
Might go for that and get some glow in the dark paint for the buttons
THAT would be awesome (if done properly).
If I had been in posession of an Xbox 360 in 1992....good lord....my head probably would have exploded from the graphics. Then I'd have seen the glow in the dark and I'd have wet myself.
@Flashpoint: Wouldn't turning off the XBox while sleeping be a solution to both problems? I don't think keeping a device which is known to have overheating issues powered 24/7 is a wise movement.
why'd bill clinton have to leave and kill glow-in-the-dark
Bill is my hero. His wife isn't though.
which wife...
A woman by the name of Clinton... now who could that be?
Wait... you guys thought glow-in-the-dark was cool when Clinton was president...?
Good. Lord.
*Hides glow-in-the-dark clothing and accessories*
Their website takes me back to 1992 as well...
New Product announce!

my BFF, Jill, wnbi
(would not be impressed)
> SMACK!
Clinton left office in 2000.... how does that equal 1992? :)
Clinton left office in 2001.
I DIDN'T KNOW THE XBOX 360 HAD ANALOGY STICKS
"XFPS 3.0 Sniper (Plus) Video shows you how to map both of 360 controller analogy sticks to the keyboard "
@ the read link.
HEY! Now it can match my gameboy and copy of Pokemon Crystal! W00t!
Pokemon Crystal glows in the dark?! Damn, what did I miss?!?! *Runs off to find his copy*
It doesn't.. But it's clear, like the cases.
Pokemon Crystal was an awesome case. Translucent with little shiney bits dotted around. This was at a time where Nintendo was reluctant to do such stuff for Europe. I believe our Ocarina of Time N64 carts were just normal carts, no gold case (USA, Japan) or shiny stickers (Japan).
Does it glow red, when you know.....
sigh... I still remember my glow in the dark Knight Rider 2000 pajamas
Why tear apart your 360 to have a glowing case when you could buy a little bottle of glow-in-the-dark paint and brush onto the existing case to get the same effect without voiding the 1-year/3-year warranty?
cuz this case is see through
Yeah. That's worth trashing your warranty. Silly me.
Well, the frosted transparency is gorgeous, but as somebody who gets quite annoyed by the WiiConnect light (though I'm aware you can turn it off, it's useful) the glowing is actually a negative for me.
this would go great with my black light, nag champa incense, and poster of Garcia and Morrison.
Why would you want this? Yeah it looks cool in the description but I mean come on think about it. If you keep your 360 in a closet then it doesn't matter because you're never going to see it, if it's out in the open on your AV rack then it's going to distract you when you're watching a movie or playing a game with the lights off.
Why don't they make it a different color than that boring green? I read the other link about GITD stuff from this time last year and the article talked about these new materials which can glow a variety of colors. This is bogus old shitty technology...I want bright purple with yellow polka dot glow-in-the-dark.
Dude! This would so match my glow in the dark Goosebumps shirt!
no HDD on that glowing 360? that's a turn-off....
Fk some of u r such geeks. "Clinton left in 2000..No 2001...How does it equate to 92??....! Nerd malfunction !.... Unable to process non-factual information...." Stone the Flamin Crows!!
Oh God it's John Major and massive economic recession all over again
Let me guess - you are British? I remember John Major only because he really stood out with his blandness.
I once had a glow-in-the-dark Nokia. Yeah, I am that old ;)
No wonder the 360 is last Gen "back to 1992", Bad looking coming with a bad hardware, I say what a bundle. Come to think of it, having software to support and a year start ahead of the competitor, If they selling like this I wonder where the 360 can still survive for 2 more year. I mean is Halo gonna be the saver again? But looking at the case sure is nice but isn't that waste of money since with that money you can at lease buy some decent thing that are suitable for the 360 instead? I mean come on who be wanting that? but for what price?
