Ok i give the artist credit because this is a really nice paint job but its one of the lowest mods ive seen for the 360 have a look here and see what a real mod looks like.... ( [us2.pixagogo.com]!lTZGFo5dJYcdjWgPIH968jV034jxD-Txyh3X/the-real-stuff.jpg ) this is one of the best ive seen apart from the Star Wars mods n stuff like this one.... ( [www.spong.com] )

I don't care for the 360, I don't care for Halo, I don't care for the Master Chief, and I don't care for this console mod, but at least the guy who did it showed more artistic talent than the one who glued stock official Nintendo products to the sides of a Wii with a moderately nice paintjob. I mean, this guy actually used _skill_ to add the Halo elements to the design, and not just super glue and a screwdriver. And I guess, if you're into that whole "hyper-real, everythings's-in-shades-of-grey-and-brown" thing, this'd probably work for you. I'll give the guy props for being able to paint something other than textures and not completely make it look like it was drawn by a kindergartener, but I'll still pass.

I first looked at it and thought it was a burned 360.. LOL! It's not TOO uncommon. :P

The painting though, is VERY nice!

I wish that was his "rough draft". I want him to do that to an Xbox 360 Elite and THEN I'd wish I could buy it.

Anyone want to predict the amount of fried 360s that will result from excessive Halo 3 play? I'm guessing about 20-30k, and thats not counting the "refurbished" consoles...

Most of the people criticizing this painting probably couldn't draw a stick figure to save their lives. So sad.

The airbrushed Master Chief is cool, but I don't dig the background. I think it should a little more like he's on Earth.. instead of a melted lump of shit...

I got a buddy in prison that will airbrush whatever you want on your 360 for a carton of Marlboro's.

t0yrobo: That's what it reminds me of! The bump-mapping in Halo 2! I always got the impression I was looking at some genius bit of artistic design through a blister-pack fetishist's glasses.

Dodgy bumps aside, it is a really understated and elegant bit of work.

Master Chief is done really nicely, but the "water droplets" look more like bubbles that are forming as the console melts. I never have been a fan of airbrushing to begin with.

The price is high, but we have to consider the fact that this is, in fact, a piece of art. No I'm not a Halo fanboy (I hate the game), but I'm just trying to say that this was hand-made, and probably took a lot of time. The detail is already impeccable and the airbrushing is superb. Try strolling through an art store, and you'll find that the prices in there are equivalent to what you'll be paying on top of the xbox360 here.

Matt B — Sun, 25 Mar 2007 17:37:03 MDT

It's nice, but I think the Halo 3 logo and MC's helmet are just too much like the Tide logo on a racecar - why destroy the other beauty? The underlying job with the sort of dull, dark, decrepit look is very cool, though!
I, myself, will stick with my carbon-fiber wrapped 360 :)

elagothro — Sun, 25 Mar 2007 17:33:16 MDT

Can it really be considered a case mod if all he did was paint it? I don't consider a paint job a "case mod" really, since he is not actually modifying the case, just the skin on the case. When I think of a "case mod" I think of actually changing the structure of a case, like PC cases that have been modded to include things as mundane as windows to as quirky as working espresso machines or artistic as adding actual three-dimensional sculpture to the case. At first it seemed to make sense that the art was a 3D sculpture blended onto the case (i.e. an epoxy-resin sculpture that was blended and secured on then painted over), as that is what it looks like. However; even though I don't consider it a case mod, it is a good paint job, even though I wouldn't buy it. The detail is impressive and realistic either way.

Eh? I don't understand the hype over this paint job. It's very sloppy compared to many other airbrush jobs I've seen... this is just the kind of art you'd get from some guy at the mall.

That's a pretty sweet box. It's nowhere near that Zelda Wii...but not too bad.

It's a shame Halo sucks ass ;-)

Hmm...

Standard anti halo comment...
or Standard anti case mod comment...

...both!

People with their halo obsessions makes me want to beat them over the head with their xboxes, they don't deserve them. Its nothing special.

Its an awful case mod, as previously stated, it looks like its been in a microwave. Approx 1 in 966,846 case mods will be even slightly better than utter shit. This is not one of those few.
