One can choose between aluminum, bamboo, city, midnight, Moji, organism, pink balloon, spring marble, sun and more. Faceplates will give the game player the look that he or she wants.

As mentioned, one can customize the Xbox360 console with unique faceplates that match a personal style and preference and, these can be pulled off and pressed on, without the need of any tools. The Xbox360 faceplate will feature materials resistant to scratches as well as will not fade and, are of high quality. The Xbox360 console ships with a standard faceplate and, if one wants additional faceplates, one will have to pay extra for them.

One can show off one's new faceplate in a matter of seconds and, to attach a faceplate to the console, one will have to close the disc tray and remove all memory units, after which, one should switch off the console. After this, one should remove the existing faceplate and, ensure that the console does not fall when pulling out the faceplate. The new faceplate should be aligned with the slots on the console and then be pressed into place.

When changing the Xbox360 faceplate, one should not pull the faceplate's memory-unit doors since these can become separated from the faceplate.

In such an instance, one should remove the faceplate and, check that the alignment is correct, before pressing the faceplate back into place.

The demand for fashionable faceplates has burgeoned and, now even French fashion house Colette has thrown its hat into the fray with a series of Xbox360 faceplates that are jazzed up by fashion superstars such as Karl Lagerfeld as well as Sonya Rykiel. There is however, no clear indication, as yet, whether these faceplates will be available for sale or will just be shown at exhibitions or even be scooped up by Lagerfeld himself, to add to his own bountiful collection of gear.

Whichever faceplate one chooses, there is no doubt that the Xbox360 faceplate will clip easily onto the front of the console and, provide it with cool looks. To search out different faceplates, one can try EBay or Froogle, which will throw up a large listing and, for fewer than fifty dollars; one can pick up many decent faceplates.
