I thought I'd start an expression of intrest topic to having a competition to "Skin" a Next Generation Console, inc. NDS and PSP.

Do you guys think it's a good idea, and would you enter?

Maybe we could just do XBox 360 faceplates? Just a suggestion.

Why limit ourselves to one console though?

I'm up for it. :)

I am definately up for it as well although I don't seem to have any graphics programs installed at the moment after the reformat, might have to get a Macromedia Studio 8 trial or try running GIMP again.

I've been thinking about this during the last few days. Mainly due to the 360's face plate, so yeah why not. PS3's look hard to skin though... bloody grill design!

So are we getting started already!?? What are we skinning?

Whatever you want. ;)

here are some templates for the faceplate:

dld them before they'r taken off.

Using one of those excelent templates DZ found, I made plate myself just to get the ball rolling:



Easy as pie. :thumbsup:


BTW, really good find there DZ, those are really good templates. ;)

I'll see if I can find any PS3/Revolution ones.

Very nice, Estapol. A bit plain-ish though. :P
Gonna give this a shot tomorrow.

All you do is chuck in any random pic you like and boom, a faceplate is born. I'll have to upload one I did last night. It sucks.

Edit:



I told ya. :P Now I'll do a real photoshopped one!

Here's two I just quickly made. Guess my favourite one. :P

:lol:

Top stuff Civ, top stuff. :thumbsup:
Same applies to your Halo one Estapopple.

LMAO! What are you gonna use to press the power button?? I expect to see some nipple power buttons in future guys :P

You know what would make a brilliant faceplate? A holographic one that changes between Nerd J Allard and Extreme Makeover J Allard. :P

:lol:
