Spruce up your next-gen console with Colorware |
Listed in: PS3, Wii, Xbox 360 Tags: Colorware

There are some who are content with the appearance of their stock PlayStation 3s, Xbox 360s and Wiis, but those who aren't have two options: mod it yourself or send it into one of the many companies which mod the systems. If you don't have time for the first option, Colorware offers just the service you need.
The company offers a lot of options for those who really want their systems spruced up. You can send in your consoles, and for US$ 99 they will color your system according to your specifications. If you don't have a console yet, you can purchase one from them, pre-colored and in the manufacturer's original packaging. Their services are not limited to coloring your systems, as they also color up to four controllers to match your system.
According to their site, purchasing a colored console would set you back a few extra hundred dollars or so, as compared to buying the plain, old versions:
- PS3: US$ 725
- Xbox 360: US$ 525
- Wii: US$ 325 (currently out of stock, go figure!)

Unless you were being sarcastic (which I am hoping), disregard my reply in that case

Based on reports and statistics...
- PS3: 3.2 million consoles have been sold (during Nov. 2006 - Apr. 2007, for 6 months)
(0.53 million consoles per month)
- Wii: 6.1 m sold (Nov. 2006 - Apr. 2007, for 6 months)
(1.01 m per month)
- X360: 11.5 m sold (Nov. 2005 - Apr. 2007, for 18 months)
(0.64 m per month)
Wiis are being sold with fastest rate...
Wii > X360 > PS3
So, you think this f+cking Wii will win in this next-gen war?
- Most analysts I read say either PS3 or X360 will eventually win; therefore, let’s completely forget about Wii; Wii is just a fad (f+a+g).
Now, we are almost there for conclusion. So, you think X360 will win in this war because X360 consoles are sold with faster rate? Let me just add some more info here...
- X360: 9.1 m sold (during Nov. 2005 - Nov. 2006, for 13 months)
(0.7 million consoles per month)
- X360: 2.4 m sold (Dec. 2006 – Apr. 2007, for 5 months)
(0.48 m per month)
PS3 > X360 (since Nov. 2006)
Until Nov. 2006, when the X360 has been the only next-gen console, 0.7 million X360s were sold per month on average. Then PS3 and Wii were released for the first time. Since then until now (Apr. 2007), only 0.48 million X360s have been sold every month. This 0.48 million X360 units are even lower than the number of PS3s sold. After a quick math, after the release of PS3 and Wii, X360 consoles suffered 32% sales decline. People just had to buy X360s until Nov. 2006 only because X360 was the only option they had; monopoly; there were no other options...
So, who can save this ever-falling X360 and Micro$oft (from the HELL)?
- Halo 3? Not a chance... because...
Halo 3 will be humiliated first then trampled next by Lair (cinema quality motion), Ratchet & Clank (Walt Disney meets Pixar), Warhawk (better than Unreal Tournament 3), Heavenly Word (next-gen God of War 3) and Killzone 2 (next-gen Half-Life 3). All these will be released in Jul to Sep. 2007. So, in a few months, there’s only one A-game on the X360 when there’re five A-games for the PS3.
And just wait a few more months from that time; PS3 owners will exclusively have Metal Gear Solid 4, Final Fantasy 13, Final Fantasy versus 13, MotorStorm 2 (tentatively confirmed), White Knight Story (revolutionary RPG), LittleBigPlanet , Home, Gran Turismo 5, God of War 3 (tentatively confirmed), and Resistance 2.
I have listed about 20 A-games which are exclusively available on the PS3. However, only one A-PS3-game is needed to crush and trample Microsoft and X360 altogether (including Crapalo 3).

Haha, wow man, I mean I love my PS3, but if you're talking about sales then you couldn't be more wrong. Halo 3 will easily outsell all of those except FF13 and Gran Turismo by millions. And will probably be better than a good few of them, like Warhawk. Don't even get me started on Killzone, Halo-killer my ass. And this is coming from someone who doesn't even *like* Halo.
Halo 3 will also undoubtedly sell 360s. There is nothing that needs to be saved "from the HELL", the 360 and MS have already cemented themselves in the video game world. I'm a die hard PS3 fan and even I can see that, sorry if you can't.
On a side note, isn't it a little idiotic to compare Halo to Lair or, heaven forbid, Ratchet and Clank? They are nothing alike.
BTW you listed 14 games, not 20.

Quote from the support page:
"Section II: Personal product sent in for the ColorWare Inc. colorization service is warrantied against defects in materials and workmanship for a period of 1 (one) month from the date of shipping the finished product. In addition, ColorWare Inc. will waive any labor fees that may be incurred as part of a repair for 12 (twelve) months after the shipping date of the finished product. This additional warranty only applies to labor for repairs associated with normal hardware failure, not product modification or accidental damages as described in Section V. Note that the coloring process may also void any non-ColorWare Inc. outstanding warranties the customer may have. If you discover a defect, ColorWare Inc. will, at its option, repair or replace the product as long as the defect is found to be at the fault of ColorWare Inc."
So if your system does get damaged and they find it to not be at the fault of ColorWare (which they probably do without looking at it) you're out of a console.
