(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); When Microsoft announced the new Xbox 360 design at its E3 press briefing last month, it was displayed in just one color: black. If you’re into the color of coal, hockey pucks, and pavement, then I’m sure you’re already head-over-heels for the new console. But what if you want the slim, sexy, quiet machine in a different color? What’s a distressed gamer to do?

Enter custom electronics firm ColorWare. You ship your Xbox 360 to these guys and gals, and they, through some sort of sorcery, paint your console and controller whatever color you’d like (yes, pink is possible).

Your lust to be unique will come at a cost though. ColorWare is charging $295 for re-coloring, and a whopping $770 if you buy a custom system through them.

People must actually do this sort of thing, as ColorWare paints all sorts of electronics and just recently added Xbox 360 support. Have any of you ever paid money for a service like this? How does it benefit you? I don’t get it.

In my opinion the idea of having a blue xbox 360 would just be amazing but but the price these guys are charging is ridiculous and unless you have allot of spare money i dont think many people will be getting a color change.

The black one looks way better

blue would actually be pretty cool

looks nice but 295$!!! NO way

This is a rip off, you can do it yourself from about $20.

I know, all they do is open up the console, take everything out then dump the console and controller in paint.

That's why they have the third party warranty.

I would wanna see it in lime green.

the black looks great?!

oh well, is there no skins or some shit like that to put on?
Like for the ps3? (dont have xbox myself so wouldn't know)

I thing red would look SWEEEET
