No, it looks fake.

1) The resolutions are off

2) The angle is WAY off.

Pretty much. Gaming related is preferable but not required. Fake game boxes, discs, cartridges count! So do fake screenshots or videos!

And why do you need a soldering iron? For a screen that's actually hooked to a tape recorder? To connect a portable hand-unit to a 360 with hidden wires? Oh the possibilities!

also, can someone get a video up on youtube, then get it removed so that the final product can be linked to a youtube video.

Then we have benheck members posting like "that was an awesome video!" and stuff so it'll seem more legit that it has a video, but really doesn't. Does that make sense? is it a good idea?
