Starfield one is very nice, not sure why they chose cameo on the other 2.

I think they chose the designs from their best selling controllers and camo is always populär.

50 usd for a wrap?

Still cheaper then the plastic plates from the ps5 which are just painted differently

 

[MarkMe2525]

Well, then you should give credit for backwards compatibility to Sony. Are you new to gaming?
MS hasn't done faceplates for XONE/XSX.

Ummm did you mean to type atari? Are you new to gaming?

Some people knew better about the sub that got crushed at the Titanic than the company itself... Just saying.

You can’t be serious

 

[ThatOneGrunt]

looks cool as hell. I like that it's a better quality than just some vinyl sticker. Kind of reminds of an old school, puffy Trapper Keeper cover.

Have to admit that the Starfield branding has been looking awesome. I don't have a Series X but use an Xbox controller to play games on the PC and that Starfield controller looks incredible. Came extremely close to buying one, but literally have no need for it.

 

[Hayabusabruh]

Get this out in the wild as soon as possible so I can get rid of this damn sticker I bought for it.

 

[Chukhopops]

If you mean PS5 covers, sure, but this is like wrapping your console in a thermally insulating layer in case it gets cold.

I’ll be curious when this gets reviewed. But even after using it the whole evening my XSX isn’t hot or even warm on its side or front. Only the top part gets hot where the air exhaust is.

 

[Laieon]

Definitely pricey for what they are, but I like this a lot more than traditional DBrand-esque wraps for sure.

 

[ReBurn]

They should make one in matte black

 

[adamsapple]

Oh shit.

Phil's shelf strikes again

 

[MarkMe2525]

I had that exact same sticker for my PS1. I can't remember where it was from.

 

[Deerock71]

 

[West Texas CEO]

I can't remember where it was from.

Look in the upper right corner:

 

[X-Wing]

Looks nice! But what's stopping the console from slipping out if you were to carry it around?

It's a console, not a baby.

 

[SportsFan581]

Oh shit.

Phil's shelf strikes again

It's hard to keep up with shelf.

 

[PropellerEar]

Seems as tacky as the late 80s pencil cases kids had in school.



Any pictures from the backside? ...there is a reason they dont want to show how it looks.

 

[T-0800]

You sure they aren't announcing 'that's a wrap for Xbox'?

 

[Moses85]

I like that in 2023 I get a wrap AND new games. Wrap my Xbox Series X with a Starfield wrap, while in 2023 playing Starfield, Hi-Fi Rush, Forza Motorsport 2023, Sea of Thieves: Monkey Island, Age of Empires 4 for Xbox, Age of Empires 2 for Xbox, Cities Skylines 2, Call of Duty MWIII, Assassin's Creed:Mirage, Alan Wake 2, Armored Core 6, Cyberpunk 2077 Phantom Liberty, Minecraft Legends, Hogwarts Legacy, Diablo 4, Star Wars Jedi Survivor...and Stalker 2 is still tentatively scheduled for this year too. Then there is 2024

[ZoukGalaxy]

The price is a pure joke for what it is, no shame at all.
It should have been thought during the design process, not now with misery stickers already sold for nothing by third parties since decades.

 

[mrmustard]

Just watch the video, it's only like 30 seconds.

 

[Kvally]

 

[PontiusFeeb]

Is it like an old Trapper Keeper? Just kind of velcro/magnet close?

I would be first in line for a Starfield Trapper Keeper.

 

[DeepEnigma]

Okay, who's going to be the first to photoshop Huggies?

 

[Hero of Spielberg]

Looks cool. I like the ability to change them up too. Hopefully they have a good range coming eventually.

 

[Moriarty1889]

Very nice design indeed. Like how it wraps around and covers the seams unlike the many different vinyl stick on skins.

 

[Dr.brain64]

Spoiler: CONSOLE

 

[reinking]

I would be first in line for a Starfield Trapper Keeper.

I love the Starfield aesthetics. I bought the controller and the headset. I am just not into this console cover design. Trapper keeper? I would proudly carry it around the office and use it in every face-to-face meeting.

Yeah, typically you want to have the backside of your console showing

Edit: that pencil case is awesome

 

[Bry0]

I’ll be curious when this gets reviewed. But even after using it the whole evening my XSX isn’t hot or even warm on its side or front. Only the top part gets hot where the air exhaust is.

Considering the thermal design, and that air is taken in from the bottom and pulled out the top, none of the heat from the console is expelled from the plastic sides, which is an insulator anyway. The impact is very likely little to none.

 

[Quantum253]

I just looked it's a high-end fabric. Kind of looks like a fabric cell phone case with a velcro latch. Interesting concept for sure. Its been awhile since the 360 changeable faceplates

 

[TLZ]

This is actually very interesting in all honesty. Nifty idea without damaging the console with adhesive.

 

[adamsapple]

You can see how it wraps on the back in the OP tweet.

And, like face plates, get different "themed" consoles without needing to fork over $500 for them.

 

[mrmustard]

They should also make a wrap with the looks of the Sea of Thieves controller.

 

[DeepEnigma]

I kinda like it. Feels retro and fun, like something we would have from the 80s.

 

[PropellerEar]

 

[nordique]

They saw Sony making money with PS5 plates most likely.

Still don't know if this is better for revenue than dedicated limited edition consoles, but if Xbox is playing copycat to Sony on it they must believe so.

I mean, have you heard of this system called the Xbox 360?

 

[Roni]

You can’t be serious

I am, and a bunch of people who thought just like you did: "Oh, someone responsible at the company is on this. No need to worry!" were proved wrong.

Expecting large institutions to behave responsibly is naive, dangerous and the main reason why humanity is the way it is today.

 

[MarkMe2525]

Some people knew better about the sub that got crushed at the Titanic than the company itself... Just saying.

Dude, wtf.... Just saying.

 

[DevilMayFlyForAWhiteGuy]

C’mon Microsoft, play on my 360 nostalgia and release one with a design like one of these:

(Or let me make one myself)

 

[thismeinteil]

Yea, that's not going to look good in person. More like you wrapped your console in a trapper keeper. And for $50 you'd think they'd have it clasp with magnets to help it look as sleek as possible, but instead are using Velcro? Ok.

 

[MrTroubleMaker]

Reminds me of the 360's face plates. I still have a bunch of them.

 

[AGRacing]

These look great. I'm in.

 

[DeepSpace5D]

Idk I find it weird looking in the back part where much of the black console is still exposed, and you have a strap like the back of a baseball cap.

I mean I get it based on design, you need the vents to not be covered. But it looks off to me.

 

[buenoblue]

$50 for a sticker!!!!


Hehe joking. I love how one clearly wrong post or tweet can affect the narrative

 

[BoxFresh123]

I just want them to release an all black one just to see how many people buy it still.

 

[Editaur]

Should be half the price and able to customize in design lab.

 

[20cent]

This shouldn't be more than 10 max 20 dollars it's a sticker ffs

It's not. It looks like a magnetized velcro'ed flappy foldable pvc cover

 

[Kings Field]

I’ll get a Gears one if they ever make one.

 

[Vox Machina]

Sooooo much potential for these. They can really go wild with the designs since they can probably be produced to order essentially.
