XCM Xbox 360 Casemod Glows Whether Console is Overheating or Not

Irresistible Xbox 360 red ring of death heatsink jokes aside, this glow-in-the-dark replacement shell from XCM is the bee's knees for gamers who like to do it in the dark. Even with the lights on the case is still pretty cool, as it sports a semi-translucent look, allowing onlookers to marvel at the melting electronics housed within. More »

Your PSP Doesn't Glow (Yet)

Since my PSP generally sits on the shelf, it might as well serve a greater purpose, like as a night light. This XCM Magic Night Glow face plate for the PSP Slim could create such a night light, air traffic control signal, or radioactive PSP prank. During the day, the covers look pretty normal. (This one is a tomato-soup red). But at night... More »

XCM Chrome Xbox 360, From Drab to Fab(ricated)

We can't speak for everyone here, but our home theater just isn't looking tacky enough lately. Luckily there's this XCM-branded chrome Xbox 360 case replacement for HDMI-enabled models to help us reach our geek quota. Running about $60, a set of four will only set you back $240—a nominal cost to have the most unique, sought-after rims on the block. Unfortunately, the hard drive cover isn't included, nor is a new skin for your controller. Those will set you back $25 and $30, respectively, meaning that this little joke gets expensive real quick.

E-Setter Easily Switches PS3 Resolution Externally

Switching resolution on the PS3 isn't too complicated, but if you're trying to do it from memory on a TV that's blank because you've got the wrong settings it's nigh impossible. With the XCM E-SETER, you can quickly push one of the labeled buttons and switch quickly and instantly to the desired setting, bypassing all that Sony Cross Media Bar goodness their programmers worked so hard to port from the PSP. $29.99 is a bit too much if you rarely use this, but if you're taking your PS3 to your friends' houses to show off how great Heavenly Sword and Folklore are, you probably stopped reading and ordered this already.

XCM 360 Hot Rock Case Warns Of Impending Doom

If you or someone you love has been affected by the Xbox 360's red rings of death, consider the new 360 Hot Rock case from the modders at XCM. This clear case mod comes with a temperature gauge and multicolor LED that goes from cool blue to flaming red as your console approaches the melting point. No price point yet, but the Wii version runs about $60, which is most likely what this creature will cost once it's available.

XCM XFPS Xbox 360 Keyboard/Mouse Adapter In Action

Despite whatever feelings you may have on the "fairness" of using a keyboard and mouse controller when others are using the joysticks, here's a video on how the XCM XFPS adapter actually works. You can assign different keys on your keyboard and mouse to map to the buttons on the 360's controller (video of that after the jump). More »

XCM XFPS Xbox 360 Keyboard/Mouse Adapter Available Now

If you hate using the Xbox 360's dual joystick controllers to play Gears of War, now's your chance to pick up the XCM XFPS keyboard and mouse adapter for the 360. Not only does it allow you to use a PS/2 or USB keyboard and mouse, you can also hook up a PS2 light gun, a PS2 guitar, or a PS2 dancing mat, none of which are really supported on the Xbox 360 gamewise.

XCM Brings PC-style Gaming to Your 360

Miss using your keyboard and mouse to play first-person shooters? XCM is bringing old school PC gaming to your living room with the XFPS 360. The tiny adapter plugs into your Xbox 360's USB port and lets you connect either a USB or PS/2 keyboard and mouse directly to your system. I could never get into the keyboard and mouse routine when gaming (maybe I was using the wrong combo), but most hardcore gamers favor that over a clunky gamepad. To each their own. The XFPS 360 is currently in prototype. More pics after the jump. More »
