Smooth as Silk


Team Xtender has never failed us in delivering new accessories. It seems like they live to please. Their balanced mix of the flamboyant and the practical is their biggest asset of all. Last time they wowed us with their release of XCM Deluxe Chrome PSP faceplate and their Metallic Edition. You can literally make your PSP look like a different one every day using these faceplates.

Now they are back with a new collection they call Smooth as Silk. According to their website, their new line has undergone coloring through a special process, making the faceplate extra smooth. They say that this could also be an enhancing factor to your gaming experience. They boast of a new mold, lens, smooth coating and the best quality plastic.

Smooth Edition (Black)Smooth Edition (White)Smooth Edition (Yellow)


The images are rather small, but I think you can make it out. Give the buttons a good, hard look and I'm sure you'll be pleasantly surprised at what you'll discover.

What's in the box:
  • Includes the digital pad (D-Pad) & analog stick
  • Includes all face buttons (start, select, volume, display, audio & home)
  • Includes all 4 main action buttons (2 sets)
  • Includes screw driver

 » they'll always look pish

until sony make there own which will never happen.

without the little sony marks on the faceplates they just look like one of those imitation things that you pick up from blackpool seafront for £10

look at the link , psp updates are just reselling those , they get money for it.

Those are probably not better than any other faceplates.

#3, Sony already made their own faceplate. It comes with a stock PSP, no installation needed.

About these faceplates...Do they mean "smooth" as in "smooth in color," or "smooth in feel?" I don't understand.

 » nice faceplates... but the buttons are not so nice...

He was being sarcastic. He meant the one that you get already installed on ur PSP.. i.e. the white or black.

They can't reproduce the usual /, [], X,O layout because Sony trademarked them ...

 » cheap product

i highly recommend NOT GETTING XCM faceplates... Asterix are much higher quality. I've bought 4 faceplates from Asterix so far and i am not disappointed. I bought one XCM faceplate and it was horrible... flimsy and cheap...
