Eternal Sonata Xbox 360 faceplates are made of candy; epic winsauce photo

I'm usually not one to endorse pre-ordering anything, ever, but the bonus you get for laying a few bucks down on Eternal Sonata looks too good to pass up. This upcoming Namco Bandai release, (known as Trusty Bell in Japan,) joins Blue Dragon on the very short list of 360 titles that have risen above Microsoft's horrid asian advertising campaigns enough to win the attention of Japanese gamers.

There are 5 faceplates available, and no telling whether you'll be able to choose the one you like or get stuck with the one you don't. I would imagine, however, that there are ways of persuading your local Gamestop or EB Games employees into giving you a peek at the goods so you can take your pick. More info on the game is available on its shiny, new official site; and here's a closer look at the faceplates, because I love you.

These are hot. My wife will kick me in the face if I put any of them on my Xbox, as they won't match the rest of our entertainment pieces. But I think I'm going to get 'em all anyhow.

Those are very nice. I'll definitely consider preordering the game because I wanted to buy it without the faceplates to begin with. It's a win-win situation.

@Mxy- I don't know how they do things in the 5th dimension, but around here you'll have to buy me a slurpee first.

I'm tempted to pre-order this game now. I'm very interested in the game and my 360 needs a faceplate...

Way better than the one my brother slapped on. It's a white one. With a few random blue lines. UGLY.

I like the right-most one, she's the main character, yes? I got the Pokemon Diamond/Pearl 'limited' extras (both styluses and the stand) off eBay after I bought my copy at Costco for cheaper than retail. I'd bet I could do the same with these faceplates.
