Changing Faceplates

Mix 'em, match 'em, trade 'em with friends—Xbox 360™ is yours to customize with collectible faceplates.

It's all about individuality … snap off the front of your system, and swap in dashing designs and cool colors on demand.

Installation's easy. Gently tug each side of the existing faceplate, pull it off, and attach your current favorite. It immediately affixes to Xbox 360.

Decorate the console the same way you would your favorite car, skateboard, or BMX bike. With all manner of vibrant hues, patterns, and materials to choose from, there's an option for every enthusiast.

Make It Your Own

It's like changing your console's clothes: adjust its aesthetics, and you'll shift how the world perceives the machine by way of what it's wearing. Switch faceplates to suit your tastes, moods, or just match the color of sneakers you're sporting—no other gaming system offers this level of personalization.

Or quality, for that matter: High-resolution graphics and dazzling in-mold construction combine to create a range of awesome accessories that rivals the finest the fashion industry has to offer. From polished power buttons to moving parts such as Memory Unit and USB port covers, every faceplate model's a work of wired art.

Available in a multitude of styles and finishes, Xbox 360 faceplates make the perfect pick-me-up or gift for the gamer in any family. Look for the Xbox Authentic Product Logo™—a guarantee you're getting the hottest accessories in the business.

Matching Themes

Don't stop there either—spruce up your Xbox Dashboard with themes that specifically match each of these faceplates. After all, as any connoisseur can tell you, it pays to color-coordinate.

Download themes from Xbox Live® Marketplace or swing by a local retailer and score your preferred pick by using your Xbox 360 Memory Unit to retrieve the information from an Xbox 360 kiosk.

Best of all, no matter where you rest your head, you can enjoy signature styles created specifically for your home territory. For example, an exclusive European sunburst design, or a Japan-only alternative covered in adorable pink balloons.

High as the bar's being set, it only gets better from here—more color choices, funkier finishes, and some truly fun surprises are on the way. Stay tuned for even bigger and better announcements in the coming months.

As you can see, the sky's the limit with Xbox 360, the first console to celebrate your unique identity, and, by doing so, also capture the world's magnificently multicultural imagination.
