Give your Xbox 360 system a retro-lounge makeover with these animal print faceplates. These snap-on replacements for the standard Xbox 360 front cover don’t just look like their mammalian counterparts, they’re velvety soft to the touch.

Evolve 360 Faceplates and Controller Covers

Whether you’re going for a jungle theme or fifties kitsch, they’ll definitely get looks when you have your friends over. Before you even ask, no actual animals were harmed in the making of these fuzzy faux fur accessories.

Available from Totalconsole for $18 to $19 respectively, the Talismoon Evolve360 fur faceplates come in cow and leopard prints (what, no lions, tigers or bears? oh my!) They could have at least included a liger in the menagerie. There’s even a matching replacement cover ($17 to $18 each) for your 360 controller if you want to go all out with the animal theme.

I just finished posting a blog about how I thought the XBOX 360 would be the beneficiary of all the product-recall/lead-paint news. After looking at that fancy faceplate you discuss, I just have to wonder if that one is completely “safe” too. I’d sure hope so. Neat post regardless.

I was examining/contemplating how the holiday season sales of video games (as “safe” alternative to lead-paint-covered Chinese toys) may help XBOX 360 sales for Microsoft, PS3 for Sony, Wii for Nintendo this year (and those companies’ stock prices). Time will tell I guess. Maybe these furry faceplates will further help the sales

I really like darker faceplates as tend to acentuate the silver around them. For instance the Gears of War faceplate really works well with look of the console. I don’t, however, think the faceplate on the Elite should be touched as the console is beautiful out of the box.
