And for a closer look at some of this luxury gear, be sure to watch our video.

Christofle Xbox faceplate

All we ask of a console case is that it protect the hardware and resist snack-based fingerprints. But if you consider your Xbox a shrine, worthy of silver plate, or if you simply want something that'll be pretty on the shelf once the innards are obsolete, prepare to board a plane for Paris. That's the only place you'll be able to find Christofle's silver Xbox faceplate, at the Colette boutique on the rue Saint-Honoré. According to Popgadget, there will be just five available, at a price of 1,000 euros (about $1,270)--plus the cost of the plane ticket, of course.
