Ugly!

OK, so personally I think they are kinda ugly and odd looking but everyone has their own opinion and a few individuals may like these.  The question I have is why would anyone spend money on a black plate to cover up their black PS3??  I understand the intent of the other colors at least, but black??? Whats next a an off whit skin for the 360?? Hahah

Another ULGY product for an ULGY system. I have a P$3 and it is a real ugly machine. I remember P$ fanboys ragging the XBOX 1 for being big, black and UGLY. Now look at the P$3. BIG BLACK AND ULGY!! With these skins it can now be UGLIER or maybe the UGLIEST!!!

I won't buy one until I can buy matching fur controller covers and buy a specially made ps3 window 'nibbler' which of course would be way different than a xbox 360 'nibbler'.

My neighbor just got robbed and until I get that huge killer dog, this beautiful cover will have to do in order to hide my ps3 up from potential thieves. LOL..... No really, this is complete shit and a waste of plastic or whatever it is made out of. I am hiding my ps3 though when I go to work though, really!!!

Hahahaha perhaps that could be an add-on for a furture PS3 Grill!!! That chrome one looks good for the grill.....

But damn.......they look ugly.....thats the only word to describe it...

BTW how is it a SMART plate? Does that mean your smart if you dont buy one? lol

horrible. not only does sony have a lot of work to do on the ps3 but, so does the mod/aftermarket community. the last couple of aftermarket items have been horrible. i'm seriously thinking about selling my ps3.

Does Team Xtender even actually make and sell shit anymore? or do they just sit here and publish whatever they hope might or might not sell?

To spinr34:


        I was also thinking about selling my PS3. But I found a guy on E-Bay who made YellowDog Linux install disks with instruction for $8. I am going to install linux and see what fun I can have.  Maybe someone will come out with a new case or cool case mods.

I am a PS fan, and I'm not sure if the covers are ugly, but they are certainly pointless. If they start to sell maybe I'll upholster my PS3 in diamond-tuft velour an' see if I can make some money too.

hopefully you can find something to do. my modded original xbox takes care of anything that i could wish for with linux on the ps3. besides the playback of hd videos but the 360 takes care of that so, once again i'm left without a use for my ps3. i have a feeling it is going to end up being a really expensive ps2 since there are a lot of light gun games for the ps2 that i want. i never had a ps2 so it's time to make up lost ground on the few games i wanted for the system. other than that though, i'm not too hyped about my ps3 or anything that is coming out for it.

Ok well yes, stock they are ugly pieces of shit but don't you guys see the potential?! You can take the pure black one and then paint it, cut it, w/e and make a themed PS3 cover and still have your original one unharmed. I am going to get a few of these to make different styles of cases because they are cheap and easy to sand and paint.

Billyfett, why would you bother paying $8 on Ebay for Yellow Dog Linux when you can download it for free from TerraSofts website including instructions... The person selling it off for the $8 bucks is breaking coyright laws and selling it illegally and you would be helping him get away with it. I would just turn that sorry ass into Ebay and not let him profit off of anothers hard work.

Elusid have you seen the inside of a PS3? It looks like crap both inside and out, it is not like you can put a window in it and see the mainboard all you would see is more plastic covering the drive and other things.

To each there own though (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Yeah well I just kinda threw that in there for other ppl. I was more thinking of painting the case and then putting it on so that you don't need to fuck up your normal case (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Also I don't think the PS3 looks bad at all! It sure as hell looks better then the PS2 and PS2 you should admit! Those things are black and grey plastic bricks lol. (not the V2 of each though (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)) Well I'm going to get a few of these any ways to make FF XII, RE5, Heavy Rain, and Bio Shock cases (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Post by: mlmadmax on January 22, 2007, 10:49:00 PM
Personaly I don't like the way the PS3 looks it's big and bulky, huge in fact. But hey to each there own, you could get one of these to paint and that would be cool, also you could get the black one as a backup since the stock one scraches so easy. tongue.gif
Title: XCM Smart Plate for PS3
Post by: Elusid on January 23, 2007, 08:59:00 PM
Ha yeah it does scratch easily. I've been able to keep it major scratch free so far *knock on wood*. Also it's not THAT huge (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) It is really heavy though haha.

if you make an FFXII one i wanna see it, if it looks good would you consider making one for me?

Post by: Elusid on January 24, 2007, 07:10:00 PM
Lol yeah sure. I meant FF XIII though because FFXII is a PS2 game. I have a 4 other projects right now and I would like to get at least 2 of them done (Slim Xbox and modded GameCube) before I start anything new.

Huh. Maybe I can pay them to remote start my box while I'm at it. :/

A rattlecan, a screwdriver, & some 1500 grit sandpaper is a heck of a lot cheaper, and more fun to boot!

I actually like the look of the ps3, however the placement of the br drive makes it a bitch to get the disk out without touching the bottom of it. i think at least the black one would be a good replacement for a scratched/broken top cover, or also a great start for someone wanting to get into casemodding and not tear up the original cover.

Edit: Holy jesus i didnt realize how old this post was, im sorry for digging up old junk tongue.gif
