Colorize your console

[WetWired]

Color your existing system and controllers for $100, or just a controller for $25.

If the PS3 didn't look so good in black (and the fact that I've recently had to return it...), I'd consider this. I'm still considering getting a controller done in prowler.

I think the PS3 looks quite nice in a dark red, too... but only as long as it's got the chrome stripe.

You don't mind me asking why you had to return it, do you?

[WetWired]

It was randomly overheating on power-on, regardless of whether it had been recently in use. It sits in the open, too, so it's not something else's heat. Probably a fan startup issue. I got a replacement and it works fine.

I'm going to colorize my NES.

[Lenny]

Fair enough.

Methinks the colourised 360's look quite nice - a lot better than regular beige, that's for sure.

So when does your pink ps3 come in?

[klo]

WOW! they can do it to my phone too! I want it pink and black :)

[Asamin]

I just do not like the PS3. This addition is nice though and might finaly convince me that getting one is worth it.

[Grav]

This is a cool idea, but kinda expensive.

[Jamesadin]

I hear that. Its not really like I go around showing off my gaming systems, really. I don't even have a next-gen console, yet. Soon, though!

[WetWired]

It's current gen, now.

[khwiii]

Amen.

I though geez that's an expensive sticker god damnit.

[Willkillforfood]

Am I the only one that finds this to be the most retarded thing ever? Just give your spare money to me and I'll color it with some markers.

[WetWired]

You'll color a black console with some markers? Right...

The whole point of this is that it looks like it came that way.

[!King_Amazon!]

Unless you're going to all kinds of LAN type things or something I don't see much point. Nobody sees my consoles except me and my girlfriend.

[WetWired]

Your environment effects your mood. There's nothing illogical about wanting nice looking stuff that few others will see.

[Willkillforfood]

Have we really become so metrosexual as a culture to care what color our gaming console is? x_X.

[Lenny]

I sure do - anything electronical in my room is black, curvy, and shiny. I spent time looking for visible computer parts, and for a TV, that compliment the PS3. No point having a bright green PC, silver TV, and a shiny black PS3.

Heck, even my mirror has a cast iron frame that's black and curvy.

I just have an airbrush kit and have done a lot of this myself. You just have to be very careful and know how to take it apart.

Both my PS2 and GC are a dark blue. Same with the TV.

[Lenny]

You know, you could make quite a bit of cash doing that - a few people have coloured PS3's in interesting colours, and sold them for a few thousand dollars on Ebay, "the only PS3 in the world that is such and such a colour". Of course, they have a couple of controllers, bigger harddrive, but they sell for a lot.

For example, there was a red one on recently that sold for $6000, I think.

[MightyJoe]

Wow, thats a lot, then again if people are willing to pay it let em.

[Lenny]

I can't see it lasting for long, to be honest - not with the likes of this "Colourise Your Console" site popping up. Why spend a few thousand on something that you can get for a few hundred?

[WetWired]

And this process is designed not to be scratch and wear resistant. Also, apparently, you can choose a color not shown for another $100, though there's no details on the site that I could find.

[Rurouni Storm]

First I'd actually need the cash for a PS3.

[Lenny]

Sell your parents, or something. :p

[khwiii]

For a PS3? Come on.. at least make it be worthwhile!

[Willkillforfood]

Burn the PS3s. All of them. And the developers.

[Rurouni Storm]

Only if we can add Microsoft's fanboys and both xboxes to that pile.

[Willkillforfood]

Sounds good to me. Microsoft has a lot more haters than fanboys anyways.
