If you own an Xbox 360 and thought about modifying the case, you should skin your Xbox 360! Adding a skin is a great way to improve the look of the boring factory look, which was fine when you first got it. But now that you’ve had it a while, it needs a new look.

Even though you can buy pre-made skins, the best kind are the ones you make yourself, and this article will offer some suggestions and advice how to go about it.

To create an Xbox 360 skin, you need to start with an image that has a high resolution.
Start looking for desktop wallpaper on video game websites, and look for a minimum of 1600 x 1200. Or another way to ensure your image will be decent when printing is to make sure the image you use is at least 1 megabyte in file size.

Now the hard part – deciding which game wallpaper you want to use. The good news is your Xbox 360 skin is not permanent. The skin is easily removed and leaves no residue, so you can change your skin at anytime, or return to the original Xbox look.

If you’re wondering where you might find graphics to use for Xbox 360 skins, the answer is desktop wallpaper. So long as you remember to follow the guideline above, you should be able to find images that will be more than suitable for your Xbox 360 skins. There are lots of desktop wallpaper websites to choose from, and you should have a vast selection of graphics to choose from.

Keep in mind that the desktop wallpaper websites are also great to use for skins for laptops, cell phones, iPods, and just about any other mobile gadget. And you don’t have to add just game images to your Xbox 360 skins. You have the option of using anything that you choose.
Skinning your Xbox 360 with your favorite game not only makes your console look great, but you’ll be the envy of all your friends. Imagine having a giant graphic of your favorite game on the side of your Xbox 360, almost like a poster on your game console.
