Ben Heck has done it again, and this time to an Xbox 360 slim console. Ben's work is generally great, but this project of his is absolutely beautiful, and you can see from user comments on his website that most people agree.
From Ben's Site:You knew this was coming ? the Xbox 360 Slim Portable. Big differences compared to my older models:About 1.5″ inches narrower left and right, ... [ read the full article ]

On his website, for $6,000+ depending on if you want further custom mods or not.
Which takes me to my next point, as nice as his mods are, they aren't $6,000 nice. I agree with Killer on this one, it just looks to plain without a keyboard, and it would be a lot nicer to use one than to attach that silly keyboard add-on onto the controller. If nothing else, it could have used a custom paint job so that it didn't look so meh.
Also the button placement for power and whatever the central pieces are seem off... Its like he knew he had to fill a void of blank space, it would have just looked nicer to have all the buttons or cut spaces to the sides and leave the middle empty. Also on his site he reports the rings don't work properly, so if the thing gives you a hassle, you'd have to rely on his expertise to determine the error; that alone is not worth $6,000. He also claimed there are error code sounds when it turns on, but has yet to determine what they mean if anything at all. Why advertise it then as finished, it's clearly not.
Quote:$6000 is nothing to some people. Heck for that price I hope he hacks it for you too...
If people want to pay $6,000 for nothing, then that's cool with them, I know some people have that $ my point was that the current model going for $6k is not worth that value for the $. If a Rich guy believes it is tho, or just some retarded must have everything collector regardless of what it costs rich or not, well then there ya go.
I mean I agree he should profit from his mods, but at least show you care about em.
