Ign explores the xbox 360

Because, the rest of the console will be white?

Good thing it will sit in a slot in my entertainment center where you can't see the rest of the console.

Anyways, you missed the point, it's about choice, not everyone wants a plain stock white X360.

Yah, but does the choice have to be 20$? If that's in USD I hate to think what it would be in CAN funds. I think MS will have a hard time selling these here in canada if they keep the 20$ USD price tag (30$ CAN?, that's pretty much the cost of a greastest hits game). 5 or even 10 USD seems more inline for molded plastic. Unless of course, the face plate is using a registered tradmark, ie hockey logos etc.

MS should at least offer a generic 5$ plate to let the user design it they way he/she wants. Now that's REAL choice.

$25? it won't be long before you can buy generic ones off the internet and customize em, no doubt about it.
