Pimp your ride: PS3, Wii & 360

If you're bored with the look of your console, you can do a fair amount to dress it up. It takes a bit of work to make sure these things go on right and look good once you're done (read: no air bubbles under the skins), but check out the end results. Leopard skin Xbox 360, FTW! Although we really hope that thing doesn't burst into flames during a Gears of War multiplayer match.
Decalgirl has over 97 skins for the Nintendo Wii, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360 (and a billion other products), including this shagadelic Union Jack Wii skin. Although speaking of shagadelic, is anyone going to spend the bucks to cover their PS3 with a naked girl? Talismoon, on the other hand, offers leopard and cow print fur faceplates and controller covers. Take a look at the leopard 360 controller, mrowwww. They also make covers for the PlayStation Portable, so you can take your fur with you.
As cool as these look, nothing can really trump the KFC skin and drumstick Wii-mote.

That one is far and away the best IMO, although it says "Revolution" instaed of "Wii" on it for some unknown reason.

@Pikachelsea:
The codename for the Wii was the Revolution
Jecrell @ Nov 25th 2006 4:17PM
All of it looks photoshopped -- doesn't look like it represents the final product.

That still doesnt explain why they put the code name on there.
I think that this one is the best.

DecalGirl is very, very real. I'd assume that they have some applies that takes their textures and applies it correctly to a default Wii picture.
And I for one prefer Revolution. Whatever.

I'm not usually attracted to pornographic skins, but that PS3 skin is very well done.
If I had a PS3, and no girlfriend, and the desire to never have a girl over at my place for the rest of the PS3's lifespan, then I might opt for it.
Seriously though, the PS3's a beauty, and that skin works well with it.

Leopard fur or no, it's still just a faceplate; the others are full skins. It makes sense, considering the danger of covering up the 360's precious, precious ventilation holes (or "speed holes"), but I still think it's not in the same league.
KapsLocked @ Nov 25th 2006 5:20PM
Why not make your 360 look like a Wii, your PS3 look like a 360, and your Wii look like a PS3? :D:D
Big Ed @ Nov 25th 2006 5:36PM
Shouldn't the nude chick skin be on the 360? After all, it's the only system that gets hot after playing with it.

lol @ "Speed Holes"
Car gets hit by bullets
HOMER: "Hey, what are these holes?"
SALES REP: "They are speed holes, they make the car go faster"

it'll keep the scratches off of your PS3 anyway..

Hi... ey Joystiq or readers... why dont post an oficial, with very good desing, a page of Friends Codes... like www.joystiq.com/wiifriends or something like that, and that everyone can post friends codes, arranged by men/woman, state, city, country, games owned, a pic. etc...
Shane @ Nov 25th 2006 6:59PM
I think that the Union Jack on the Wii is the best. It would be perfect with a matching mini.
KillerSlinky @ Nov 25th 2006 7:30PM
Anybody else find a British-themed Wii ironic, since their not even out yet in Europe. :X
Pikachelsea @ Nov 25th 2006 7:55PM
@General Bison:
I knew that; I just don't understand why decalgirl is still clinging to the Revolution name. Just call it what it is... the Wii.
@FernandoRocker:
lol @ your request for friend codes arranged by men/women.
@KillerSlinky:
That's not really ironic, no... Alanis Morissette ironic, maybe.
32_Footsteps @ Nov 25th 2006 8:22PM
Well, Pikachelsea, some people *really* took poorly to the renaming. Hell, it took me a week before I could bring myself to say "Wii." Some people are more stubborn than that.
Also, by repeatedly calling it the Revolution, you try to avoid all the really bad Wii jokes you've heard 1000 too many times.
Also... damn, a naked girl on a PS3? Porn is getting more and more expensive all the time.

to #3, Jecrell
the Retro Wii Skin has an actual picture of it, with skins on and everything.
what i want to know is what the controller skins look like.
(yes, they do have them, just no pictures)
it'd be awesome to have an NES controller skin for the wii remotes.

Someone cant tell the difference between a cheetah and a leopard.
otakucode @ Nov 26th 2006 4:49AM
What I've wondered about DecalGirl forever is why don't they have a skin skin? I mean a skin for the various consoles that looks like SKIN. Stitched human skin, like renderings of the Necronomicon and such. It just seems like such common sense.

Is anybody else unable to add anything to the cart on DecalGirl.com? It seems whenever I click Buy, it just brings up an empty cart...
