    Was looking at skins at decalgirl and was wondering, anyone here bought any skins for their PS3's? If so ,what site? I just wanna know what the best site is for sending them to ireland in terms of price etc.

    If anyone knows any shops in Ireland, than even better.

    Looks like OP is looking for actual cover skins, not the integrated themes

    Oh right, don't know why you'd bother with that TBH.

    A:

    For fun

    B:

    As a PC gamer who builds his own PC's , I'm used to being able to customise my shiznit

    and

    C:

    Cause I don't like the look of the the big stupid "Playstation 3" in the spiderman font.

    But cheers for the replies anyway, If anyone knows the answer to my op, please let me know!

    Cheers, actually I might just use decalgirl anyway, a console + pad skin works out to about 17/18 euro it seems.

    They look a lot better in RL than in those pics there heres an example (although its a ****e skin :p)



    here are the skins I'm looking at:

    ps3-dante-350.jpg

    ps3-epicenter-350.jpg

    ps3-ruby-350.jpg

    ps3-dkburl-350.jpg

    ps3-indus-350.jpg

    Think the red looks the best if your looking for opinions :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,748 ✭✭✭Cunny-Funt


    yeah sure. Although I'm really looking more at the 1st two, I like the idea of a more silvery PS3 but the 1st darker black one looks damn nice too. bah :D

    Yeah its looks a little like the standard PS3 with all the Black but the extra bits make it look cool alright. I was put off by the fact that it kind of looks like a face in it of a demon type creature but maybe thats just me and I think that looks a little cheap or something or too obvious for a games console.

    The last grey, metal grating type one doesn't look great IMO. Looks like something I could do in Gimp in 5 minutes. I think its built in texture actually. Its too uniform anyway. It just looks boring.

    I would go with the first one, had that image as my desktop wallpaper for months!!

    Been doing more looking around, and actually this kinda thing is more what I'm looking for:

    ps3_chrome_face_plate.jpg

    This isnt a skin though, its a replacement top plate.

    Does anyone know if messing with the top plate voids your warranty?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,748 ✭✭✭Cunny-Funt


    Okay for anyone interested, it seems you can take the plate of really easy and it doesn't void the warranty. I just ordered one there from
    https://www.mrmodchips.co.uk
    :D

    Uggh. Ugly, thugly, pug thugly, ugly ugly.

    The red crystal skin was nice though.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,748 ✭✭✭Cunny-Funt


    Nah I like silver/chrome and black, plus it'll match my PC :D Honestly, I think the original PS3 with that other pad was way cooler looking then this one.

    I know the fanboys forced sony to keep the ps2 style, but sony could have still released the other pad + colours for those that liked it.

    I'd be happy enough with a matt black / charcoal.

    Bleedin fingerprint magnets.
