I'm really not 100% if this is where I should post this so moderators please put it where it needs to be or disable it.

I'm currently in the process of creating a Pikachu themed 360. I already have a clear case blue led'ed hdmi model and a highly modified elite with red and orange led's all through out it. This Pickachu 360 I'm working on is the first time I've worked with paint. Thus far I think its looking good. I'm going to be sticking with a easy and simple yellow and white scheme. The upper shell that is seen when the console on its side will be getting a large Pikachu graphic under the Xbox 360 words / logo. I have the shell's painted as such:



The top side of the shell where the HDD goes and the opposite part of it has been painted white.



I've also completed a slightly modified faceplate. Really nothing special but it will fit the theme of the console. Also the disc drive tray and bezel have been made yellow. The button to connect controllers is blue as the limited edition Pikachu N64 and Gameboy were both blue and yellow. I'm currently in the process of finding a really nice small Pikachu sticker to put above the ring of light.



I have also completed a matching controller. I know you all love controllers!






Now all I need is a cheap HDMI console only to finish this........... I'm not going to do any LED swapping or putting them in this particular console. Although I have comtemplated whether or not getting a green talismoon fan for it. I just want to make sure that it won't take away from the Pikachu graphic that will be put on the top part of the shell of the console. This is pretty much what the graphic looks like:



Any suggestions / comments / or feedback would be really appreciated! I hope to get this complete by next week!

Lol seriously. This is what you've been up to these days. I've seen your other 360's, This one seems like this could be the coolest though. I think you could add some Blue LED's and get away with it though. Make sure to keep using this:

and this

as inspiration.

OMG! You just gave me the best idea! I think I can rip off that Pikachu from the N64 and put that on the console instead! I think that is a much better idea. Just because it is 3D

At first I was like :

Then I was like:

Good work I must say. Can't wait to see it finished.

Just got the the Xbox 360 from the game exchange for free due to some trades of some N64 stuff and a little gamecube stuff. The shell has been replaced with the Pika one. Here are some pictures of the console before the vinyls arrive next week. Just letting everyone know yes I can play Live on it lol.

Good, but a painted pikachu decal works best. Stencil it.

Why would you treat your xbox that badly? I should call the police for abuse.

Cool as it is, Pokémon and Microsoft don't go well together really.

Very well done though!

Modding them is an easy way to make a quick buck though. Just buy it second hand, ensure there are no issues, paint it up then sell it again.
Plus seeing as the warranty no longer counts you can always open it up and give it a good cleaning in the process first.

Or a mod chip if your going to open it anyway...

Haha, you wish that you had pokemon on your Xbox Haha.

If he puts that chip in maybe... *goes back to playing Pokemon on PSP *
