Advantages: Great look, durable, high quality, not a cheap faceplate (not 3rd party bad plastic ones)
Disadvantages: Colour doesnt match with rest of console

...Faceplates are great, they let you customise your consoles looks, without voiding the warranty for just wanting to change the colours of the front of it, it adds a nice kind of fashion statement to your 360. If you have lots of faceplates, you can show off your new console in many different looks, to show off to others. If you get the chance to get a faceplate with a game you want to buy, preorder it, and get that limited edition faceplate, it is like a trophy you would put on your mantlepeice, which you could show off, or even sell on the internet after a while for much more than what you got it for. First of all, there are 2 sides to make about this faceplate, a good side, and a partly bad side. First, the good part of the review of the faceplate. For a faceplate in general, its a great design, looks great when vertical... Read review

Advantages: Halo themed, looks very nice, durable, unlikely to scratch
Disadvantages: Expensive

...When Microsoft announced the Xbox 360 and told us the console would have a changeable faceplate, I knew I really wanted to get something cool for the front of mine when I got it. It wasn't until a year after release that I picked up my Xbox 360. Shortly after that, Bungie - makers of the global bestseller series Halo - announced a Halo themed faceplate coming soon. And when I saw it for sale in a local GAME store about six months later, I knew I had to have it.

Advantages: perfect graphics, seamless linkup with an windows-based network and works with iPods and PSPs
Disadvantages: v. noisy, huge power adapter, loading times CAN be slightly longer than expected.

...a few hours. The 360 wireless controllers do none of this, i have the rechargable battery pack in and the controller maintains its accuracy constantly. the controllers do not pull in any direction and do a better job than a wired controller in my opinion. you can also turn the console on and off via the controller which has been begging to happen to a games console. XBOX Live is infinitely better on the 360 than on the XBOX1. When playing online there is no lag that i have ever experienced and its intergration into the dashboard is a good idea. It is not worth buying this console if you cant have XBOX live (router etc). because everything about this console is geared towards XBOX live. -Accessories- I have 2 Wireless controllers play 'n' charge kit 1 faceplate the play n charge kit is definitely worth having, it plugs...

Advantages: Great design and looks
Disadvantages: Slightly expensive

...On the front of the xbox is a special section which can be removed and leave it with just the disc drive, the power button and then all the rest which you don't want to see. You can now thanks to some great designs replace the boring old white faceplate with a cool new one such as this very nice Halo 3 one. of course this will not effect you xbox 360 at all. It is merely to make it look that bit more unique and you can show it off to your friends when they come round and play. If you are a Halo 3 fan then i would suggest buying this as it shows you are a true Halo gamer and it is one of this really well designed items that is really nice to own. You can also download matching themes from the xbox live marketplace to make the theme on your dashboard m
