Colorware jazzes up your new Xbox 360

No need for a fanciful new HDTV? Not even a new Segway? There's some colorful home entertainment gear for you yet. The famed gadget painting company just announced that Microsoft's shiny new Xbox 360 is the next to go under the gun, with near limitless color options waiting to be splashed onto each and every panel. If you managed to already pick one up, Colorware's charging $175 for the send-in option; if you're looking to buy new, that'll cost you at least five Benjamins. But hey, that's nothing for the satisfaction of owning a game console that's part orange, part lime green and part purple, right?

Give me a purple and gold one

[Psyclotr0n Posted Jul 2nd 2010 7:00PM]

but where will it show the RROD?

[Hydra Posted Jul 2nd 2010 7:01PM]

I like it, reminds me of a 1950s diner

[Rolaundo Posted Jul 2nd 2010 7:02PM]

Thats just stupid, no matter what console your a fan of, that's plain dumb! Spray paint anyone?

[Ben64 Posted Jul 2nd 2010 7:09PM]

I think they are going for the NES color scheme.
Ugly and expensive though.

[deepen03 Posted Jul 2nd 2010 7:19PM]

seeing as I only paid 20 bucks for mine? I think i'll pass.. $170 is ridiculous. and it probably voids the warranty too.

[beesneazy Posted Jul 2nd 2010 7:32PM]

Colorware is the shit.

[zenrage Posted Jul 2nd 2010 7:44PM]

This is lame.

[AtomicPlayboy Posted Jul 2nd 2010 8:17PM]

This only makes the new 360 look more like the bastard child of the original NES and an 8-track player. Some Microsoft designer has a thing for the 80's, no doubt.

[DougieBear Posted Jul 2nd 2010 8:34PM]

NES coloured anything makes it better!

[steenbag Posted Jul 2nd 2010 9:22PM]

I want mine in matte black, but its giving me a price of $380 for that?

[PathogenX Posted Jul 2nd 2010 9:43PM]

I never seen the point of this.
Though that's probably because I cannot afford it.

[42 Posted Jul 2nd 2010 9:47PM]

How in the world this company stays in business in this economy is amazing. This must not be their only/primary business.

[bebop Posted Jul 2nd 2010 11:31PM]

imo Coloware gets too much exposure on engadget.

[Starcade Posted Jul 3rd 2010 12:09AM]

The new Xbox hasn't been out that long, so to even consider changing the color seems odd to me, especially since shinny black has never been an option available before. But whatever...

HOWEVER, the options presented seem, I dunno, ugly. Red and white? Blue and green? Maybe if it had art or a design it might be more interesting.

[Mystictrust Posted Jul 3rd 2010 12:36AM]

@Starcade I agree, but you can create an absolutely custom solid or multi color combo on their website. I have no idea WHY they would show off this crap combo tho. http://i47.tinypic.com/30a9ptt.jpg

[dicobalt Posted Jul 3rd 2010 1:51AM]

Do they have one that looks like an 8bit NES? That'd be so cool.

[Happy Posted Jul 3rd 2010 1:52AM]

I actually like the maroon red & white Xbox 360. Colorware does really good work.

[OmbreDesigns Posted Jul 3rd 2010 2:12AM]

Endgadget, they charge different prices depending on the coloring options you choose. I did one config that was $203 and another that was $185.

[Eugene Rushmore Posted Jul 3rd 2010 2:35AM]

instead of buying a hideously designed black console...
you can now pay extra for a hideously designed console of any color

[LANjackal Posted Jul 3rd 2010 2:59AM]

More like "j*zzes up your 360" ... and your bank account. Total waste of money.

[Twinkle Tits Posted Jul 3rd 2010 3:06AM]

That is one extremely ugly 360. Reminds me when I lived in hong kong in 92 there was a super famicom that had almost the same ugly color patrn, beige & red...fugly

[YpoCaramel Posted Jul 3rd 2010 7:37AM]

@Twinkle Tits That's the original Famicom. The Super Famicom had a more subdued grey color scheme.

[zombiegavins Posted Jul 3rd 2010 3:45AM]

"Hey colorware I'll do you a deal, I'll give you my hard earned cash and you can ruin my brand new 360 s"

[Geoff900 Posted Jul 3rd 2010 6:31AM]

Can I have mine in black?...

[jcblack Posted Jul 3rd 2010 11:23AM]

Man, Colorware has no taste whatsoever. But then again, if there's a market then why not. It's the consumer who has no taste.

[nbolmer Posted Jul 3rd 2010 5:51PM]

Seriously, another article on this company? We get it- there's a company that paints tech and then charges outlandish prices for it. Why are these guys getting press?
