Dashing Through The Snow...

Now how the heck am I going to open this stuff?

It's that time of year again. Crowds, malls, secret Santa, and of course last minute shopping for people whom you have absolutely no clue what to get. With the help of our friends at Geeks.com , we were able to compile a list of truly affordable Xbox 360 stocking stuffers. As of this writing, all of the items on this list were...get this...all under $10.00! Holiday joy, for under 10. You can't beat that. Let's have a look!

Evil Faceplates

I can be honest and admit that the 360 design is well, kind of bland. By bland of course I mean that it is an IKEA-accessorized wuss machine. Amp it up with a face plate! My 360 went from being an object of my friends ridicule to something that I am now convinced is evil.

It's watching you...

Installation can be a little tricky as the faceplates don't quite come off as easily as I would have liked. All in all, there were no tools required so I was happy.

Apparently, there were a few more bits of Evil trickery. The evil chrome faceplate unfortunately reduced the range of IR remote controls. The shiny evilness tends to reflects attempts to control it. Wireless controllers however, were unaffected due to their RF nature.

How about a Stand?

Now this add-on is just plain necessary. For both space savings and aesthetics, the 360 was meant to stand up. Unfortunately its slender profile makes this somewhat unstable.

It's a no-brainer!

With the stand you can add some extra stability for the erect position and still have it look cool. Too bad those grooves are just a little to narrow to hold my game cases. I haven’t seen my coffee table in 2 years!
