GT5 KY Signed PS3 Faceplate on EB Games

[JimInPT]

Err...looks like an SLS with its doors open.

Yep, I do believe you're correct.

And it's fugly as hell; any PS3 would be disfigured with this thing. 👎 I wonder how much Mercedes paid KY to create it?

Is it hard to change the PS3 Faceplate? Also does it void the warranty if i open it up and replace it with this one. Two of my main concerns on this. I hope someone can help. I don't have ps3 yet but will buy it after i get the game. Anyone knows the answer?

 

[Nish]

I think it would just snap onto the original one.

Just drop your PS3 on concrete, it pops right off. I know this from experience.

Ok, thank you for that. Now I can see it. It reminds me of this thing...

Old or Young Woman?

Yeah, all I see is a young woman.

 

[Rey-FD]

Look at it. You can see what looks like a young woman looking away from you, or an older woman at a profile view. The young woman's jaw becomes the old womans nose. And what looks like the young womans necklace is the old womans mouth. Its just a trick picture.

Oh now I see it! Thanks 👍

Yeah, all I see is a young woman.

The young womans jaw bone is the bottom of the old womans nose and the necklace is the old womans mouth. Young womas eye and ear are both old womans eyes.

Called Gamestop today, the CSR told me its a sticker to put on the ps3 slim then u rip off the layer and then the ink dries on top of the existing surface. I'm asking myself is 34 dollars worth my time sending it to Canada and paying for duties on this item.

That's what it looks like to me. Just a simple snap on, thing. It's either that or a sticker.

 

[Nish]

In my opinion I think it looks good but if it's a sticker I'm out. I will not pay 30$+ for a sticker.

Same, don't really want a 'sticker' on the PS3, then when I decide to take it off it leaves sticky residue behind for me to clean off.. they should have just called it 'Face Sticker' instead of plate..

My whole grudge was 30$+ for sticky paper lol but yes that sticker glue is a hassle to clean and the ps3 has a textured top so it would be worse. Especialy wouldn't on a 435$ machine. I will buy a clip on one though if thet have them.

Haha, all I see is an old woman

It's a shame this isn't just being lumped onto the LE preorders...though I suppose there is the tiniest shred of a chance they might? Definitely not holding my breath at all on that one but it would be a nice surprise.

 

[Coxis]

Gosh, I certainly wish it isn't a sticker... I'm guessing it isn't. Why call it a "faceplate" if it isn't a plate, but a sticker?

the OP pics didnt show for me

On e-bay you can get vinyls for fat & slim for loads of game for about 6-10 GBP
Not signed GT5 ones but If you want a cheaper alternative.

FYI if you live in the States. Gamestop has this for 19.99 right now. Although you can't pick them up from the stores, probably should order it online if you really want one.

 

[WRXLENT]

It's not a sticker. It is plastic. You clip it onto the front of your PS3. Then it doesn't fit in the stand anymore But it is very cool.

 

[BaLListic_Evo]

I got one for xmas

[HangDC4]

Too bad this doesn't fit my phat ps3, other wise I would of got one

 

[Jay]

I also got one the day before GT5 was released.

Any photos with the product fitted onto your Playstation console, how's the fitment, quality etc?

I saw it at the local EB, looked quite decent really.
