Wait A Minute, $200 — For A Faceplate?

Two years ago, Xbox Live gave away 72 limited edition Xbox 360 faceplates with a Need For Speed: ProStreet design. Some guy decided to get rid of his on eBay and has found it commands a price above $US200.

Custom Companion Cube Faceplate

If you’re still Companion Cube crazy and the plush one or the papercraft one aren’t enough to quench your thirst for all things cube, this faceplate might be the perfect thing for you. Hand painted with the ubiquitous cube and various phrases and such from the game, this custom 360 faceplate is now up for auction on UK eBay for £10.00. There is currently only one bidder with six more days left on the auction and according to the site, they will ship worldwide. Will you make it yours?

Make the jump for a few more shots.

Assassin’s Creed Faceplate Winners

Kotaku AU

Thanks to Simon Cottee for providing the picture for this post. As I’m sure you’ll agree, Simon has more than earned his Assassin’s Creed faceplate. Just awesome stuff there mate.

Don’t worry, just because Simon went above and beyond doesn’t mean everyone else missed out. We had ten to give away, so that leaves us with nine, and the rules did stipulate that all we needed was a pickup line, and a line of text more than covers the requirements.

Thanks to everyone who entered. It was hard selecting the final ten, but choices had to be made. Don’t be upset if you didn’t make it – we’ll be having more competitions on Kotaku AU, so there’s plenty of time to recoup your losses.

If you’re wondering if your entry made the cut, just hit the jump. If your jumping finger isn’t up to the job, that’s cool – we’ll be contacting the winners shortly to inform them of their incoming faceplate.

Finally, I take no responsibility for the vulgarity, humourlessness or downright creepiness of the entries that follow. Read at your own risk…
