Now he says he doesn't want one?!?! They had better accept returns. ;-)

It does look nice. I can buy the stuff to do it myself. Make y'all a deal- I'll bedazzle a Wii for you, and sell it for only $3995.00. You know, that Kotaku discount and all. I'll even be nice enough to throw in free shipping.
Any takers?

Some people like it, some people don't (SHOCK)
If you don't like it, don't buy it.
Value is as much as market dictates.
Using swarovski crystals.
You CAN use plastic beads, if you want to, go ahead.

I don't usually like anything "iced out", but that's pretty creative right there. Too bad all the money used to decorate those consoles could have gone to...purchasing more consoles.

I don't remember seeing that before. Did Kotaku change those pictures for legal reasons? Maybe it was there and I was just too distracted by how gaudy those Wiis are.

Don't like it myself. I like my consoles to look original. Yeah, I put stickers on my original Playstation... but I was in high school, it should be forgiven.

A lot of people are like "I could eat a toaster and it would look better than this!" Need I remind you of that "custom" DS? The one where someone just kinda scratched Rozen Maiden on it. That was bad.

I think this looks pretty good. The shading looks awesome and god knows that this is a million times better than something I could draw.
