Hello

[cantstopcollecting]

Hello,
I've been collecting for many years and recently came across this site. Here are a few pictures of my 360 related collection. I hope to add what I've learned to the great information you already have on the site.

Nice :D
I hope you didn't trade your kidney for that Beatles Rockband

[Cosmic_Link]

I personally don't think you have enough Xbox 360 consoles tbh... :P

Maybe a little story to go with how you acquired so many cool looking consoles? :D

Nice collection! ^^ Welcome to the forums and enjoy your stay! :D

[foreverflash]

That collection is quite amazing. When I first saw the picture, my mouth literally dropped open and my eyes popped out in shock and awe...

:drool:

Welcome! With that kind of epic collection, you'll feel right at home here on collectorsedition.org (http://collectorsedition.org/forums/collectorsedition.org)

Can someone clear up for me where these theme xbox's come from. Are they sold like this? or sticker decals or what. I have seen a few before but generally all the ones here i have not anywhere.

[themidlandmaster]

Those watchman 360's look awesome!

Who's on the signed one?

[jugolicious]

Most of the consoles were created by Microsoft or a game/movie publisher to promote their product. There are several companies that are frequently used:

Colorware is a popular vendor for Microsoft in the US:

You can go to the product filter and select xbox 360 and 360 s to see some of their consoles. They've made more than they show in the gallery.

In Australia, there is company that does a lot of airbrushed consoles for their promotions:

Most of the consoles were created by Microsoft or a game/movie publisher to promote their product. Some are airbrushed, some screen printed and others have a professionally applied skin/decal.

There's also a company called SmoothCreations that does custom consoles and PCs for publishers.

I'm sure there are many more out there. I'd be interested in any others people here know of.

Edit: I don't know what I did to get the double post...sorry.

This was a special edition console given to EA management back when EA agreed to support the xbox and xbox live.

Here is a close-up:

[BigMike382]

They look amazing, but i imagine not cheap even when they first come out:) So they are all working consoles? not just a shell

[Likey]

Console collecting is sick! Do you have the original boxes with pads and cables for all of them or they don't sell them in that way?

[cantstopcollecting]

All the 360 consoles came with their origional boxes. I only have a couple of the boxes for the origional xboxs.

[Likey]

The controllers are plain right or do some of them match the design or colour?

Would you mind telling us how much you've spent on your collection so far? Intrigued to know. :D

[Viridius]

very impressive collection! Do you work in the Xbox industry to have acquired so many versions, or these all bought by yourself?

[DBMB]

Very Nice! I really like the Alan Wake and ODST xboxs.

Well if it's related to your own collecting habits I'm sure it's fine to post it in your introduction thread. These are obviously items you want or already have?

I would DIE for that Minecraft 360. WOW

[cantstopcollecting]

Dragon age is a nice looking console,but it kinda looks like a sticker thats been put on. If you look at the vent area,its not painted a sticker never covers that just goes round it as shown. If it was painted the grille vent would be painted as can be seen in the other consoles you have shown.

[nipperkipper]

Awesome collection, i nevr knw there were so many 360's available through contests

Love the way you have displayed them also

Oh awesome! I very much like how you present them that way in those pictures.

How do you store all those? Do you still keep a shelf with all of them displayed or keep them in their boxes in a basement or similar place?
