If you're like me, you like to treat your console like the amazing piece of technology that it is. I became increasingly frustrated with the carrying/protection case options out there. I bought and returned several before deciding to take matters into my own hands. Below is what I came up with and the steps to make your own if you like it. You can make this in about 30 minutes for well under 40 dollars...maybe less depending on what kind of prices you can find on the materials.
Without further ado...
The Case itself, a re-enforced aluminum toolbox. Found this beauty at Home Depot for the bargain price of $19.99. It's Husky Brand so its tough as nails yet sleek and sexy. There are a few different colors. Silver, Black and Red for sure. I bought an extra for R&D. I dropped it a few times with weight in it and it held up VERY well. It comes with keys for the locks and an attachable shoulder strap.

Park recently produced, co-wrote, and directed the English version of Sky Blue, a multilayered, composite, digital animation feature in high definition. The film premiered at the 2004 Sundance Film Festival and went on to screen at film festivals in Venice, London, Tokyo, and other cities around the world. Park's producing credits also include The Others, starring Nicole Kidman and directed by Alejandro Amenábar, and Chen Kaige's The Emperor and the Assassin, starring Gong Li.
Ubisoft has confirmed that a GRAW demo is headed to the Xbox Live Marketplace. They have not however provided anymore details such as what kind of demo (single player or multiplayer) or the release date. The full game is slated to ship on March 7th, so I would image the demo to be out a few weeks before that.
