Real or Fake Uk Launch Team Faceplate

Shit, I never even noticed the paint chips... Should have just referenced my own... If i could find it

 

mh i'm confused. I have also the uk launchteam faceplate.
But now, how can i know it is real or fake. My one has also madcatz at the
inner surface and the print looks clear. Nothing chipped.

offtopic:
But i'd like to get the real (or copy off) --> *i made this*
sweetest plate ever

 

yeah im not sure again the other 5 ive asked about are made by madcatz

 

The special faceplates are almost all third party. big or small run it would be expensive to buy official microsoft faceplates. This companies (legitimate or fakes) probably just buy blank white madcatz faceplates in bulk to keep costs down. considering everything is probably produced off site it gets expensive. even more expensive when your giving them away for free like the Launch 2005 one. Obviously this doesn't count for the Launch 2005 one because then they'd use official microsoft ones because they were ordered by microsoft? Maybe thats a way to tell whether launch ones are fake.

 

No. The launch ones are Madcatz ones, they are not M$ ones!

 

looks pretty legit... mine is a "official" one and seems like its painted. so chances are yours is real but probably a factory defect or whatever the case may be. i can take pics of mine when i get back home from holiday

 

It's real.

 

Great, btw oldengineer, what is with *i made this*, also madcatz or
from ms direct?

 

thats all i need . oldengineer what happened to your site? It was awesome!!

 

I also have ony, US Launch, from Madcatz.

 

oh yes i heared you want sell it to me, ehh

 

The Dev Team, "I made this" faceplates were produced from M$ originals, I still have at least one, factory sealed, somewhere.

 

The site is gone, it was kindly hosted by a friend, but it cost money, so it had to go.

...BTW I love your jtag tools
