We love a good Xbox Series X skin, and this one particularly caught the eye of many Xbox fans on Reddit over the weekend (thanks GamesRadar). As you can tell, it's based on the original Xbox design!
Reddit user marszciano posted it to the message board, where it drew plenty of praise:
Unlike many of the custom designs we've highlighted here at Pure Xbox, this skin can actually be bought - it's from manufacturer wds, and available on Amazon at a price of $13.69 if you want to give your console some old-school flavour. Just keep in mind that it's unofficial, so it's not directly licensed or endorsed for use by Microsoft.

I've never put a skin on any of my consoles, but the XSX shape seems to lend itself to being a looker when skinned. The Solo carbonite one was very nice. This is also pretty cool.
Needs laid on the side and the green logo on the top instead of the front.
Looks great next to that gigantic collection of PS4 games 😑
That is pretty high-quality stuff, but it looks weird being stretched out so vertically. Nothing you could do about it, it just looks weird. Still very cool!
I tell ya though, it would be easier to feel nostalgic if Microsoft un-suspended the backwards compatibility program and started getting more classic games available for the XBone and Scarlett. I mean, I understand that once you're launching new hardware, it's all hands on deck, so suspending it made sense (same reason why it makes sense that Sony didn't get a PSVR 2.0 ready for PS5 launch). But man, it's been a LOOOOOOONG time since the last update (that brought Unreal Championship 2 to the modern consoles, iirc), and it's a slow start to the new generation atm, so the time to restart it is now.
They still have so much more to go just to get THEIR OWN LEGACY GAMES compatible on modern Xboxes. Sudeki, Azurik, both Mechassaults, Blinx 2 (they have Blinx 1 but not 2?), any Project Gotham game (even if they have to swap out licensed music with generic stuff), Amped, Rallisport Challenge, Brute Force, Magatama (they could finally give it an International release), etc. And then it would be nice to get all those Sega exclusives there too - Gunvalkyrie, Jet Set Radio Future, Otogi 1 & 2, etc. I'll be very happy when Microsoft resumes the backwards compatibility program, I tell ya.
