LOS ANGELES - July 25, 2006 - Gamers can upload, download and share GameFace 360 faceplate designs that feature pictures, drawings, photos or their own creations with thousands of users on the Nyko GameFace 360 Community site.
The new site promotes countless trading options for Nyko's popular GameFace 360 product available for Microsoft's latest console. Users can upload a new Xbox 360 faceplate design to the site, download faceplates created by others or send their favorite designs to a friend. The free site gives Xbox 360 owners endless options, allowing them to browse through hundreds of faceplate designs hosted on the GameFace 360 Community site. Nyko plans to sponsor regular GameFace 360 design contests with webmasters, editors and message board moderators, assuring that there will never be a shortage of artistic expression on the site.

Fans can purchase Chromehounds or the GameFace 360 at any participating GameStop where they will find a promotional code to enter on the GameFace 360 Community site, granting access the exclusive Chromehounds design.
