People have been decorating their games consoles and computers since the dawn of micro-time, though obviously it helps to have a light-coloured machine -- white, cream or beige, rather than Sinclair Black. Twenty years ago, for example, ace Llamasoft games programmer Jeff Minter did some nice paint jobs on his Atari STs. But the Xbox marketing team in Germany has really thrown down the gauntlet with an Xbox 360 that shows Lara Croft, created by sticking on 43,000 small crystals (or possibly 36,000 -- the Microsoft Games Global Marketing team's blog has both numbers). Apparently it's worth €9.000/$11,000, and will be a competition prize.
The Gamerscoreblog has other amusing things, such as water balloon fight videos and Xbox 360 logo wallpaper (below) made out of people....
