One person will win this custom Bayonetta Xbox 360

What you're looking at is the prize one lucky individual will walk away with tomorrow at the Platinum Games meetup. If you didn't score a ticket to the Bayonetta-themed event, then it's possible you didn't read this post from earlier this month. We trust you, though. We're sure you totally read it.

The Sega blog describes the custom Xbox 360 as "one of the hottest Xbox 360's I've ever seen. No kidding." Clearly, Sega has never seen this brilliant Sonic mod.

A match made in Hell: Xbox 360 Hellboy case mod

Behold the Xbox 360 Hellboy case mod. It was made by one Frank Gonzales, the very same Frank Gonzales that created the Gears of War and creepy alligator mods we've featured here before. As much as we like Gears of War and creepy alligators, we're going to have to say that this one takes the cake. Check out more pics in the gallery below. Also, be sure to check out more of Frank's work -- including lots of artwork not related to case mods -- on his personal website (Warning: MySpace link).

Super Mario Galaxy mod reaches for the stars [update 2]

Mamma mia, that's a nice mod.

We'd expect no less from the ever-so-incredible Morpheon Mods crew, who've put together quite a nice collection of Wiis for us to gawk at. The Super Mario Galaxy theme of this particular mod, though, helps it rank as our favorite of the bunch.

The LEDs are a nice touch, especially the ones in the back-lit marquee, and we approve of the various sounds they've rigged to the console. We also like the twinkling stars effect -- simply awesome.

All in all, it's a stunning mod that can be yours if you have deep pockets, since it's up for auction on eBay. This is one auction that we won't mind seeing skyrocket, however, since a portion of the profits will be donated to Child's Play!

[Update: The eBay auction has been removed, for unknown reasons. If the item gets relisted, though, we'll be sure to update the post again with the new link!]

[Update 2: Yay! The auction was relisted and the eBay link above has been fixed. Or, you can just click here.]
