Mother-of-pearl Xbox 360 units given to VIPs |

Now here's a special edition Xbox that you won't get your hands on, even if you have the dough. Microsoft recently commissioned Kim Young-jun, a Korean artisan, to create three lacquered black Xbox 360 units in-laid with beautiful mother-of-pearl ume flowers and butterflies.
It's quite the piece of work, and we fancy that this is one Xbox 360 unit that you'd want to remove the casing off before sending it to Microsoft for repairs (in case it goes red-ring on you). Microsoft chairman Bill Gates had them made as VIP gifts, one of which was handed to Korean President Lee Myung-bak, and another was kept by Gates.
The beautifully modded Xbox 360 units are named "Peace", with the flowers and butterflies symbolizing peace and harmony. "I'm grateful that Bill Gates appreciates the beauty of mother-of-pearl, which even Koreans are forgetting," Kim said.
Microsoft was impressed with how the lacquered Xbox 360 units turned out (we are, too), and ordered a hundred more similarly-designed units to be given to more VIPs. We wish we're VIP enough to get one, but we can always dream, right?

If it was so much about the "art" and not the publicity....then I think they would be showing off the 360 and not talking about it with just one crappy low res picture that makes the 360 look like garbage....
are those beads from walmart....hard to tell...
