This Xbox 360 is Covered in 10,000 Crystals
This one pack's AU$1,000 worth of crystal bling bling.
Earlier this week we featured an Xbox 360 organized by Microsoft Australia to celebrate the 1 millionth Xbox 360 console sold down under. It was an impressive effort from WETA Workshop, crafting one amazing sculpture of the Xbox 360 and Master Chief. But what if you wanted the bling?
This other shiny console, which has plenty of bling-bling in the literal sense, is also a part of the charity auction.
Nothing sparkles quite like the ‘Crystal’ console boasting more than 10,000 semi-precious stones and valued at more than $1000.00 (AU). A one-of-a-kind design, this Xbox 360 Arcade console is set to be a showpiece for the most glamorous ‘bling’ living room.

wow shiny
yay first comment
There is not a gamer I have even heard of that would want crystals on their Xbox. Honestly, who would want that? Imagine taking it to a LAN or something, "Ooo look at John, nice crystals mate!
"
Lately these crystal/diamond covered ordinary devices have been getting quite annoying. I could care a whole lot less....
Its seems like they may have made the red crystal of death?
Nothing better to do I guess.
Even if it RRODs, it can still be used as a disco ball...
or a ridiculously expansive paper weight...

I hope that the crystal in your hand has not turned red :-)

Seriously, I think they post these news reports JUST to piss people off
dang and none of it used to boost thermal conductivity.
And when it's as dated as an atari system, you can soak it in acetone until the crystals come off and glue them on the modern console of the time...which would be a PC, cause consoles will be dead by then. So sorry.
Is this what really bored people do in their spare time?
At least it looks better than the gold plated one.
Looks like MS is really really tryin to reach the female population.
AN ARCADE?
WTF, not even an elite?
/sigh
looks like they bedazzled it =/
Well... At least it's not gold.

LoL yeah it's diamonds.
Put a chain on it and hang it around Flavor Flav's neck.
You guys miss the critical point of having these diamonds on the Xbox.....To help with the overheating, in a sense these diamonds are one big HSF so the Xbox doesnt overheat!
I'm getting tired of news about electronics covered in crystals or gold.
So god damn useless.
I laughed, but it sure is pretty.
looks like a 4 year old girl was let loose with a bedazzler!
Even if it RRODs, it can still be used as a disco ball...
The nerd disco!
Oh but they used one of the initial release 360's and now has a pretty red light in addition... ahh, all that work to make a piece of crap sparkle... ahhh

But it is very unlikely that the three major console manufacturers would agree with you....
Also, you are basing your premise on the assumption that the "PC" as we know it will still exist at your chosen time in the future.

Or Lil' Wayne
I don't know about you, but that's one ugly xbox 360. You know they show celebrities wearing terrible dresses to movie awards. Well, this is just like that, except worse, at least you can fap to those celebrities.
COOL!!!!
Now cover my PSP and ps3 in crystals and I want a killzone 2 structure carved.
LED lights in my PC is good enough for me.
So, they can afford covering it in crystals (I would assume diamonds), but they could not afford a 360 Premium package?
What?
silly and useless though eye catching
