A Slightly Sticky Halo-Themed Xbox 360
September 27, 2009 47 Comments
If someone’s ever lectured you about the importance of choosing your friends wisely, you will kick yourself when you see this example of the wisdom behind the advice. EvilDan, a rather generous deviantART user, decided to try his hand at console customizing with his friend being the lucky beneficiary. Finding his motivation from the always inspirational Halo, this Xbox 360 mod (more pictures of which are located after the jump) features an impending confrontation between a plasma grenade-throwing Master Chief and a sword-wielding Elite. We may not know exactly how this scene plays out but if my Halo playing experience is any indicator, Master Chief will overthrow the grenade, the Elite will lunge when his reticle turns red but still miss, and some bastard will come up behind them both, haphazardly firing rockets and scoring a double kill. Fucking douchebag. Not that I’m bitter or anything.

Man, the customization between people’s Xboxes is mind-boggling. How can they manage this?
OH yeah, my pre-order of ODST from Amazon arrived today! And I played as Sgt. Johnson, so I’m giddy with glee :)
You only got your pre-order today!? Jeez, I got mine delivered on release day, where the heck do you live? It must be on some remote uninhabited pacific island or something if it took that long to get to you XD
Mine still isn’t here and I ordered it from Best Buy. Of course I picked the free shipping, and I only paid 45 bucks so I can’t complain.
Haha I got mine delivered to my front door at 3:45 the day ODST releases. 100 bucks off of amazon.
Middle East, dude.
Ahh, fair enough then.
dude jus got my odst today too, 45 buck off amazon, but they advertised sergent johnson and i didn’t get him
I got mine at 11:30 the day ODST was released, and only paid 60 bucks with Gamestop, so no offense, but sucks to be you xLAS3RP01NT3Rx
u might want to do some research on the odst sgt. johnson with amazon thing, i think i read in my oxm that they were going to start making it right by sending people their codes but i cant remember if u have to contact them or if it will just b sent to u automatically…
Try checking the email inbox that you used to sign up for amazon, thats where i found mine :)
Mine came 3 days after release :( But only £30 (yes i live in the uk!)
it would suck donkeyballs if it gets the rrod =(
True, but the seeing what the person did to the outside, they could probably fix a rrod.
And if that box is a fan, it will probably stop a rrod anyway, even though that case mod looks like quite a bit more heat insulation.
This is the first thing I thought too. Remember the story of that kid who got all those signatures and artwork cleaned off his 360 when he sent it for repair? It’d be like that, but a thousand times worse…
Just claim it as a fireplace diorama
actually my xbox got RROD the day before ODST came out … ;-(
A bunch of my friends got RROD the weekend before. It was wierd
i got it the day of its release, but i went to the store and bought a new one! can’t beat that
I got a RRoD on my 360 Elite back in August… and I’m still waiting for the shipping code they supposedly mailed to me on September 2nd after a good half a month of trying to get the printable code’s link to work (I know it’s 10 days… I had to keep calling xbox support and starting new repair orders. For whatever reason I can’t do a repair request online)
Uh-Oh! I’m gonna asplode!
Spelt a5pL0d3 wrong. :-D
I thought this was a cake :( Oh well, still awesome!!!
THat would have been even better, somehow…
Don’t you know the cake is a lie?
So I’ve been told.
I wonder, if you have an Xbox like this, and it needs to be sent off for repairs, does it come back the same way? do they even repair it? do they “Clean” it?
I sent mine off to “be repaired” and they just gave me a new one. So that would suck if they kept the modded one and threw it out.
What a great way to void your warranty.
It looks good.
Angel, this is something of an example of what I’m constructing.
Well this is the internet.
Pics or it didn’t happen.
So when its made, we want to see it.
Oh yes.
Me like case mods.
Don’t worry, it’s still under construction. You’ll see pics. :)
Awesome.
Can’t wait.
I agree with DethPwn. At first glance, this DID look like a cake. Bet the plasma grenade would blow up in your mouth.
You want glowing blue balls to blow up in your mouth?
:D
I know someone who can make that happen…
I was talking about the cake you pervert.
LOL!
there’s no door for the front usb ports! no mic and wired guitar at the same time! ='(
Its a freaking Halo case mod.
This guy doesn’t fool around with downsized fake plastic instuments.
But glowing blue balls that explode.
How is that sticky lit up? Awesome mod ^_^
He can haz reconz. This xbox is too full of awesome sauce to be played on by anyone except Master Chief himself.
It’ll overheat. He covered up the vents.
Hint hint large silver fan in middle of fight scene hint hint hint hint.
I think a guy that has this much skill with arts and crafts will forsee such a simple problem as RROD.
There’s already a fan in it. The air still needs to be vented.
is that metal box a fan? if it isnt then this will get the rrod FAST
Yes, that metal box is a fan.
Also, in response to the OP:
“Master Chief will overthrow the grenade, the Elite will lunge when his reticle turns red but still miss, and some other guy will 2-for-1 them both with a quickscope. BLAINER!”
because of the surface on which the Xbox sits and the way the “dirt” is designed, some of the pics almost look like a grainy filter was photoshoped on
I agree with JohnKiller118, the owner probably won’t send it in for repairs due to a voided waranty. That and problems packing it in a box for shipping.
I got rrod when I first put ODST into my xbox but the good old “give it a punch” method worked better than fine, haven’t gott them since. I thought it was quite amusing.
It’s simply AMAZING that no comment has gone without a thumbs down!
:thumbs down:
There! Now your statement rings true. ;)
