Rub-a-Dub, Microsoft: the 360 soap controller photo

Hey, that controller looks pretty good, except it seems to have a case of the spots. Well, it's marbled for a reason -- this is actually a replica of the 360 controller made entirely of soap. Not only that, but there's more where that came from. I guess if you're serious about your gamer cred stretching as far as your guest bathroom, you could hook one of these up in there.

Etsy seller DigitalSoaps retails these from $1.75 - $16.00 and has all sorts of familiar designs to choose from. Look at the NES ones! I have to hand it them -- it's odd, yet puts an instant smile on my face. The only problem is wanting to use it, because it's so cute I'd hate to ruin it!

I couldn't help but laugh at the "Things gamers do" tag.

The only way I could see some of my friends showering is if they had one of those. DX

Looks like a delicious cookies & cream flavored ice cream cake.

Cool, yes. But who is actually going to use it? You wouldn't spend so much money on soap to use it. Maybe prop it on your shelf.

That'd be just awkward to scrub with, like do you just start with the edges?

What MrSadistic said. I think I'm more tempted to eat that thing. It looks like ice cream.

I heard a rumor that the dpad on this bar of soap works better than the one on the actual 360 controller.

I would never want to use soap, if it looked as good as that.

Don't drop the controller in the shower...

That looks fantastic. I am impressed with the workmanship. I too wouldn't want to buy one though, because I know I wouldn't ever use it.

Damn you, Mxyzptlk. I was going to say that the soap d-pad was probably better than the real 360 d-pad, but you beat me to it.

Someone should make a soap PSP, so I can be the first to make a funny comment about how the soap PSP has more games than the real PSP.

This soap is amazingly beautiful. I should buy some...

No one pointed out the obvious hallmarks?

If you used this soap, you would know exactly what it would be to rub a 360 controller on your genitals and ass.

I'll take a pass on that glorious-ness as I've just come to terms with accidentally dropping the DS stylus in the toilet and having to fish it back out again...

I'm going to make the obvious lame joke and point out that XBox fanboys have no need of hygiene products.

Now there is an excuse to smear your favorite console controllers on your most gentle parts.

Looks cool, but I'd rather have one made of chocolate (milk or white would be fine).

Hate to point out the obvious, but now I know what all the others at LAN parties smell so bad.
