Default XBox Skins!!
Hey,

I'm just wondering if any of you guys have skins for your console? What do you think of them? Do you prefer the look of the original Xbox? If you peel off these types of stickers, does it screw up the casing? Like does it leave a sticky residue?

Here's a link to some skins from someone's ebay store:

Some Examples:

Inferno Skin Top:


Inferno Skin Angle:


Ninja Gaiden Top:


Chrome Skin:

I have the chrome skin and it looks really nice. Only $20 too from www.skinefx.com. I placed the round sticker which covers the green circle on top of the machine slightly askew but I was able to fix it easily by removing then reapplying the sticker.

hey talamasca,

is it like a sticky material? or is it like those vinyl stickers that joshmxpx had asked as well?

like is it those type that u can put on windows and peel off easily? or does it have some kinda adhesive to it? just in case in the future i peel it off and it has some sticky crap under it....

i read on the site that the skins are made using some kinda vinyl so yea i dont think there will be any residue.

Chrome Skin for Xbox (includes 1 chrome controller skin): $9.99
Chrome Skin for Controller: $1.99
Basic Shipping: $2.99

Total: $14.97 USD (or at least i believe its in USD)

Can't wait

Yeah, it's a high-quality vinyl and very easy to apply. I just call them stickers. The site I mentioned above has the best prices on the internet and they're Canadian too.

My chrome Xbox looks exactly the same as the picture already posted. It looks terrific as my TV is also silver-coloured and the GameCube next to it is platinum so it matches its surroundings.

Just checking this out, looks pretty cool. What color Chrome would you guys recommend? Nice site, just ordered a blue chrome with s-controller skin and a brushed aluminum with 2 s-controller skins for my brother for xmas. Hopefully it gets shipped quickly.

yea i liked the blue chrome as well....but to keep it looking nice with my other electronics, i went with the mirror chrome. but blue was definitely my second choice.

i ordered mine on monday night (the 29th), so I'll let you know as soon as mine arrives, so you'll have an estimate as to when you might get yours.

Update: I just got my xbox skin in the mail....it looks awesome


but the thing I was really pissed about was that I got charged a $10.88 customs fee !!!

Talamasca, didn't you say yours got shipped in from Ottawa?? ahh thats so crap. I emailed the company to ask them why it wasnt shipped from the Ottawa location.

Mike71, did you get yours in the mail yet? If so, did they charge you a customs fee as well?
