XBox consoles no longer just have to be the standard-out-of-the box types, as proven by this alligator skin XBox.
Yes, I moan about cliche branding of goods (The Dark Knight XBox being a recent example) but this piece of customization is unquestionably cool, however, it could offend animal rights activists.
This skin is in fact made of real alligator skin. I am not sure about you, but that eye scares the life out of me. It kind of fixes you with a steely glaze, and if that does not put you off your game playing, I don't know what will.
It is not made from a real dead alligator, but I still feel glamorizing the use of alligator skin like this makes it a bit wrong. It's actually a real shame as I would love to get this for my XBox, but alas, my morals wont allow it.
