Get Mario on your 360
Last week, you may recall our sister site DS Fanboy frothing over a Zelda-themed Xbox 360 faceplate, a fine, one-of-a-kind piece of fanwork that eventually sold on eBay for the criminally low price of $31.
At the bottom of said auction, creator 'worldwidewebbs' (who has a bit of a knack for these, it would seem) promised us a Mario version within the week, and has duly delivered. Impressively, this fantastic Super Mario World faceplate (which, as we type, is still only at $21.50) boasts moving parts (the Piranha Plant emerges from its pipe at the touch of a spring-loaded button) and even a sound chip that plays the jaunty Mario theme.
Sir, we applaud your talents! While simmering beneath the surface with envy.

I love it. It's good to see one console themes from another. Also the faceplate look really good and I may even have to throw a bid at it.

Ok, it is well done, although it's really wierd to see a Mario faceplate for the 360.
I'm going to nitpick though because a couple of things annoy me. He put Super Mario World (SNES) on there on top of a background and Mario sprite straight out of Super Mario Bros. (NES) and then puts "Super Mario World NES" on the auction. What?
