Glow in the dark Xbox 360 enclosure takes you back to 1992

Truth be told, we still can't believe this is the first commercially available glow in the dark Xbox 360 chassis, but then again, glow in the dark hasn't been remotely fashionable since Bill Clinton left office. Still, if history is beginning to repeat itself, you know you want to be first on the bandwagon, and there's no better way to throw it back than with the XCM Glow Pearl case. As it stands, the shell isn't quite ready to be ordered, but we're sure it'll be worth every penny when your BFF sees just how gnarly this thing is in the dark.

Meh, the alligator one is better.

[antiver @ May 25th 2008 8:23PM]

buuuut... you can BUY the alligator one?

[Flashpoint @ May 25th 2008 9:26PM]

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?

[pikagogo @ May 25th 2008 10:07PM]

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.

[Elora HRanma @ May 27th 2008 10:28AM]

@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.

[bob e @ May 25th 2008 6:06PM]

Now... if they offered a glow-in-the-dark controller too
I'd pick one up.

[Josh @ May 25th 2008 6:11PM]

why'd bill clinton have to leave and kill glow-in-the-dark

[tekman94 @ May 25th 2008 7:21PM]

Bill is my hero. His wife isn't though.

[Josh @ May 25th 2008 7:23PM]

which wife...

[Kaminix @ May 26th 2008 8:51AM]

A woman by the name of Clinton... now who could that be?

[Pochi @ May 25th 2008 6:13PM]

Wait... you guys thought glow-in-the-dark was cool when Clinton was president...?

Good. Lord.

[Mark.Nine @ May 25th 2008 6:20PM]

*Hides glow-in-the-dark clothing and accessories*

[Lorre @ May 25th 2008 6:18PM]

Their website takes me back to 1992 as well...

[Pochi @ May 25th 2008 6:22PM]

New Product announce!

[Deputy Doffoos @ May 25th 2008 6:23PM]

Smells Like Teen Spirit

[John @ May 25th 2008 6:42PM]

my BFF, Jill, wnbi

(would not be impressed)

[ZeroCorpse @ May 26th 2008 12:56PM]

> SMACK!

[Sameer Surampalli @ May 25th 2008 6:46PM]

Clinton left office in 2000.... how does that equal 1992? :)

[Moorio - XBL: peacebyanymeans @ May 25th 2008 6:57PM]

Clinton left office in 2001.

[computer.dude.28 @ May 25th 2008 6:58PM]

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.

[Dragod @ May 25th 2008 7:47PM]

HEY! Now it can match my gameboy and copy of Pokemon Crystal! W00t!

[Sora267 @ May 26th 2008 12:13AM]

Pokemon Crystal glows in the dark?! Damn, what did I miss?!?! *Runs off to find his copy*

[Dragod @ May 26th 2008 12:14AM]

It doesn't.. But it's clear, like the cases.

[ssuk @ May 26th 2008 2:55AM]

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).

[Happy_man @ May 25th 2008 7:53PM]

Does it glow red, when you know.....

[Shawn @ May 25th 2008 9:08PM]

sigh... I still remember my glow in the dark Knight Rider 2000 pajamas

[ZeroCorpse @ May 25th 2008 9:14PM]

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?

[yoyodude64 @ May 25th 2008 9:50PM]

cuz this case is see through

[ZeroCorpse @ May 26th 2008 12:55PM]

Yeah. That's worth trashing your warranty. Silly me.

[Ethan @ May 25th 2008 9:26PM]

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.

[ethan @ May 25th 2008 10:28PM]

this would go great with my black light, nag champa incense, and poster of Garcia and Morrison.

[wickedpheonix @ May 25th 2008 10:50PM]

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.

[dziban303 @ May 26th 2008 12:06AM]

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.

[LiqwidZero @ May 26th 2008 1:22AM]

Dude! This would so match my glow in the dark Goosebumps shirt!

[Matt @ May 26th 2008 1:45AM]

no HDD on that glowing 360? that's a turn-off....

[da wix @ May 26th 2008 1:55AM]

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!!

[toxicpiano @ May 26th 2008 7:24AM]

Oh God it's John Major and massive economic recession all over again

[nikster @ May 26th 2008 9:12AM]

Let me guess - you are British? I remember John Major only because he really stood out with his blandness.

[nikster @ May 26th 2008 9:06AM]

I once had a glow-in-the-dark Nokia. Yeah, I am that old ;)

[NewTech @ May 26th 2008 8:10PM]

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?
