The Wooden Xbox, a 1:1 copy of the original Xbox from Micrososft, is an absolute must-have for gamer freaks and the eco-conscious. Sculpted by Ben Winfield, this Wooden Xbox looks like the real thing, with a carved Xbox logo, power and eject buttons, and four controller ports. What's impressive is that it comes complete with a Wooden Xbox controller that has a pair of moving analog sticks, which work just like the real thing.
I wonder what Ben Winfield will think of next--an Xbox CD along with its case made from wood, or a video cable made from tough vines? Or perhaps Winfield will take it back a bit with an old-school wooden Game Boy. Regardless, the Wooden Xbox is enough eco-conscious cool for now.
