Is this legit?

It looks like a cheap spray paint job on an Indigo cube to me, nothing incredibly special.

Does anyone know if Nintendo actually comissioned this?

[kev]

i dunno, but it does look cool.

[Special Kid]

Yeah, it's real - the ebay ID is that of Nintendo's PR company. Plus, it's promoted on the NOE site, somewhere.

[Mr Spew]

LOL.

Look at the right hand side of the grey plastic part where the controllers go in. The spray paint that the guy used as run onto it. BAD paint job.

And the colours hardly go well either.

I think he tipexed on the ships.

Just because the username has the word Cake in it, doesn't mean anything.

A fool and his money are easily parted.

Going by the shadow underneath them I think they're more likely to be stickers, or even glued on card or something. :s

[robotattack]

Not that it makes it any less genuine of course: http://www.gamestyle.net/news.php?newsid=362

[Mr Spew]

Haha, even better!

I think I'll make one, then put it on eBay.

ULTRA RARARAEEE!!!111 And Pritt Stick on Margaret Thatcher's face over the disc plate on the top.

[StephenM]

It's definitely real sirs, Cake emailed the link around a few days ago.

Not that I can see why anyone would want the damn thing....

Oh, charity, yes...

Well, look at Mr Knowitall. Look, I know that it's legit, given that Cake actually told me themselves. So go shove your cynicsm up your arse!

If someone can afford to pay for it, and the money then goes to charity, then what's the big deal?

[Juria]

It's not by a good graphic artist as the description says, it's by someone with some stencils from WHSmith

[PopeSmokesDope]

More like John Menzies!

What, did a big Cake come round to your house, and speak in his cream voice saying "THIS CUBE iS TEH ACE! IT BE REAL!!!!!11", or something?

Perhaps.

Yeah! Curse Nintendo and all badly designed things into the ground!

Consign them to hell! NoE raped my mum! etc.

Yep. That's exactly what happened.

What? you don't believe me?

[StephenM]

Lol, this thread has turned really funny!

High five to Special Kid for a high quality rinseout session!

Cake emails = natural superiority \m/

Hehe

Err, what? Nintendo didn't do that stencil job. What are you talking about?

[StephenM]

Just for irrelevance's sake, imagine how cool it would've been if Miyamoto had done one of his awesome drawings on a GameCube *drool*

[DJ Sack]

Looks crap, like someone got a spray can, a bit of cardboard, and sprayed in the pre made gaps.

[cubeadvance]

I'm fairly sure mine is rare. It would be very hard to imitate the unique stratch it has on the side.

Shall we start the bidding at say.....$1000?

[Mr Spew]

It's called a stencil.

GAWWDDD!!

It's like a child's toy...that has endured the abuse of a child with a bottle of tippex and a black spray can.

WOWZERS!!

I'd prefer it if he smeared his love juice over one.

edit: I can't type and think at the same time.

[StephenM]

...

I see.

[StephenM]

*sigh* It was only a matter of time until we got a Cake photo.

I'm overposting in this thread! hm!

[The Grand Pursuivant]

[Alex W.]

Yes, it's genuine, it has a press release and everything. It's been comissioned via a graphic artist and all the proceeds go to charity.

Dig deep!

And how many GameCube's have you customised, eh? Or how many things have you doodled in general? And can we see them?
