This plate was an early attempt at offering a customizable solution to Xbox 360 console owners, for their own personal faceplate designs. The plate is a two-part plate with a clear front. It comes with inserts that you put into your printer. You can go to the Nyko website and download the template and program for designing your graphic, print it out on the inserts, and then place the insert into your faceplate. It came with a small number of pre-made inserts, and once you used all of yours, additional inserts were available from Nyko. This insert concept was carried over to other products, including NFL Football teams, Transformers plates and even a 6-design Simpsons plate. The idea was not a huge success and these are still available for a quarter of their original retail price.
