When was the last time you bought a new faceplate for your Xbox 360? Most people never did. And Microsoft said as much in an interview with OXM.
"It turned out nobody bought it. We killed that one pretty quickly,"Microsoft's Albert Penello told OXM.
There hasn't been a new official faceplate for Xbox 360 in a couple of years and the new slim model obviously does not support them:
"We don't ever create an accessory with the intent of having it fail. The idea wasn't bad. People used to put faceplates on their cell phones. Rewind five years, faceplates were what everybody wanted to do."
