Bioshock Faceplate

[GreeseDog101]

Hello everybody, i have been looking for a BioShock faceplate, like this one:

Or this one:
http://cache.kotaku.com/assets/resources/2007/06/bioshockfaceplate.jpg

Now i have been looking for one of these forever it seems like now. I keep finding some on eBay for like a starting price of $20 or so which is a good price to buy it, but then they get to like $100 or more in like a day. So i was wondering is anybody had a new or great condition BioShock faceplate that they would like to put up for sale or if they didn't want it at all just give it away to me. Please people, i want one of these so bad, so it would be greatly appreciated if someone could help me out, thanks.

2K made very very few of those. If you are able to ever find one, you will be super lucky. I am hoping I will get one if 2K has a giveaway party for the release of Bioshock 2.

[smartalec5595]

lucky americans....HEY 2K!!!!!!THROW A GIVEAWAY PARTY IN BERMUDA!!!!!!!!!!

[GreeseDog101]

i have found a couple but they were all at super high prices, that would be awesome if you got one at the BioShock 2 giveaway party

[Unorthodox]

There are only 5100 of these made (each numbered) so the chances of getting someone to just give you one are very slim.

[GreeseDog101]

ya i know but thats not what i meant. I meant that anybody who is willing to put it up for sale for a good price.

[Dr. Locke]

Whoever would sell something that valuable lost his brain a long time ago.

Theres 6 up for sale right now, the lowest price at $36.00 which is the main one that i'm looking at. And Locke, if you do happen to get one at the BioShock 2 giveaway thing, try to get 2, lol :D .

[Would You Kindly?]

Looks cool but only covers a small bit so to seem. I'd rather would go for those Bioshock case mods.

[GreeseDog101]

what do you mean "case mods". A picture of this would be good. I mean i probably have seen it, but i havn't heard the term to go with it.

[Bioshock Lover]

:) it is expensive but i got mine from a freind who owns gamestop and got 1, he was going to throw it away! I said HELL no and he said if i wanted i could have it. lol

[Dr. Locke]

LUCKY!!!!! I also bet you live in a mansion with a 110" plasma screen TV to.

[smartalec5595]

no dr your thinking of me lol

[Dr. Locke]

No I am pretty sure I was thinking of Bioshock Lover............... yea I was..................

[smartalec5595]

nawwwwwwwwwwww u thinkin of me and my mansion :p

[Dr. Locke]

No I wasn't smarty. I was indeed thinking of Bioshock Lover.

[smartalec5595]

u never back me up in front of company!!!! :(

:p

[Dr. Locke]

Thats right.............. cry.........cry! CRY! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

[smartalec5595]

lol this is funny :p

[Dr. Locke]

No its not, you are making a fool of yourself. In fact, why did I just ramble on with you? The conversation led us nowhere. This poor forum.:(

[smartalec5595]

i think the forum was just insulted?

[Dr. Locke]

Yay! Another senseless topic!

smarty, I did not insult the forum, I was just saying that if that was all we could talk about, then what has this forum come to? I am sure at the release of BS2, this place will once again be a bustling metroplois!

[smartalec5595]

and even a few months before and i really want to know....is it conformed that bioshock 2 is a sequal or prequal?

[Dr. Locke]

Yes smarty it was confirmed by Hrej. He is man currently working on Bioshock 2 with many others. I fou-............... I found th-..................................ZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzz zzzZZZZZZZZZZ..................................... ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzZZZZZZZZZZZ

[smartalec5595]

Yo Wake Up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Dr. Locke]

....... O yea! Ummmm, Hrej confirmed that the crew is currently in the pre-planning stage and that the events in BS2 will take place before the ones in the original. It is going to be a prequel! Yipppeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!

[smartalec5595]

sweeeeeeeet maybe when jack was a baby in raptue (n no it aint a spoiler)
or has it been comfirmed that jack is the main character in the prequal too?

[Dr. Locke]

I don't know if Jack will be in it or not. Barely anything was revealed.

[smartalec5595]

oooooooo ok thanx for the info now back on topic everyone

EDIT:thanx doc for makin me look like an idiot :D

[Fuzzy OneThree]

I got one before Bioshock was released.

And stop the chatroom. Get AIM if you want to IM.

[Dr. Locke]

Yea Fuzzy we got it. Thats why smarty said, "oooooooo ok thanx for the info now back on topid everyone."

Knowledge is Power!

[GreeseDog101]

http://www.2kgames.com/cultofrapture/features/faceplatecontest/faceplate.jpg

And this one:

[Dr. Locke]

How do you think you will be getting it? Ebay?

And the seond one stinks, I would get the first.

[GreeseDog101]

i think the second one is sweet, its much cheaper too, like $5-$10. The first one is the main one though, with only 5100 copies and thats the one i want more. I might be getting both but for now, at least the second one, and for the first one, i'm still looking for a great price. And yes locke, on eBay.

that second one you see is actually a custom made faceplate from metal. i believe he makes them by hand. that is not a 2K thing. it's fan made!

[BioShock Freak]

That's what I thought when I saw it. It looks hand made. I was thinking of making my own too. :D Just buy a regular faceplate for your xbox and paint it. :)

o, i actually didn't know that. I still think it looks good so thats why i'm getting it...on the other hand, the other one is much cooler but way more expensive, i'm eying one thats at $10.00 or so on eBay but has like 9 days left for bids

[BlacquePhalcon]

Ive got the Cult of Rapture one, I reccommend it for either a collectors item or for an elite console. The face plate is dark making it look better on the black console opposed to the white. Actully it might look good on the Halo LE console:rolleyes:

[BioShock Freak]

I agree. I think it'd look even BETTER on the Halo LE Console better than any other colored ones. The colors go great. :D

He means to modify not only the faceplate, but the sides, back, top, and bottom as well.

Regarding the faceplate, I have one but unfortunately not to sell. I found mine on eBay and got it for $125.00. I think it is worth it though. Good luck.

[FtRapture]

I haven't seen any cool Xbox case mods, they have a cool PC case mod on 2k.com

http://www.2kgames.com/cultofrapture/features/fanart/casemod.jpg

I will although I have not seen any amazing Bioshock ones there are some amazing Xbox case mods in general here (CLICK (http://cybernetnews.com/2008/08/01/cybernotes-best-xbox-360-case-mods-round-2/)) and Here (CLICK (http://cybernetnews.com/2006/07/24/cybernotes-best-xbox-360-case-mods/))

[BlacquePhalcon]

hey does anyone have a faceplate around the number 2317? Thats the number ive got and was wondering who my neighbors are. Lol

[BioShokk]

around the number 2317?

Wow. 2276. To be within 41 of the previous poster... What are the odds, eh?:D

[BlacquePhalcon]

he odds would be higher if your number was closer :)

[BioShokk]

he odds would be higher if your number was closer :)

Er... That... Makes sense?:confused:

[FtRapture]

The odds would be higher if your number was closer :)


I think it was a small joke ..

[BlacquePhalcon]

nevermind it doesnt come out sounding right lol, is the lanyard and phamphlet anything special?

[BioShokk]

nevermind it doesnt come out sounding right lol, is the lanyard and phamphlet anything special?

Came in the box. The lovely, cardboardy-scented box. Mmm. Excuse me...

[BlacquePhalcon]

i bought my plate on ebay and got the box plate and downloadable theme

[RyanAndrews]

Came in the box. The lovely, cardboardy-scented box. Mmm. Excuse me...

I searched a long time to find one in a cardboard box with the lanyard, pamphlet, unused theme, and faceplte. I love that box. My faceplate is somewhere around 570. Can't remember exactly.

[FUCHI PATAS]

I've had one on my 360 for months now.
Love it. One of my favorites!

Yeah, I one I got the theme was already used.:(
But, I mainly wanted the faceplate!

[Gh3ngis Kh4n]

I got 7 Face plates...

Gears of war... Got it from the GoW Tournaments in 2007, my team finish as 16 World wide...

i got, Bioshock, just the one u got on those pics, cus the nearby store i buy games at had an contest and i won the plate along with the Limited edition of the game..

i got halo 3, woody, nfs carbon, dead rising and the goldn plate....

I live in norway... still pretty easy to get em, just look out for em before game release and ull probly find some at the game shop near u...

[darkuredi]

I have been watching Ebay also, I don't really like the idea of faceplates, there are very few good looking ones, but these pictured above are ever so beautiful :)

[Ronnie Wood]

I own the rusting one without the Big Daddy (Hey, it was free :P) and I'm hunting the one with the Big Daddy on, however I was wondering if there's any cheap BioShock Vinyl skins to match the faceplate so it's not just the front that looks like it's rusting. I don't care if it's custom and I have to wait ages, I just care about price.

[Asherah]

I've never really gave any thought about getting a faceplate but looking at the ones above I think I might reconsider.
