Limited Edition XBox360 from SA Studios

I look heavily outside of the automotive realm for inspiration and these days, creative icons from the streetwear and pop culture world move me the most. I'm not saying I'm a full-on BAPE *** or stuff my closet full of Dunks, but I pick cool things here and there and I trust the opinions of those industries' tastemakers to show me what they think will be hot just like you rely on our staff to show you what's cool for your car.

A couple weeks ago, John P from the iD agency (http://www.fatlace.com/john) hit me up to clue me in on XBox's partnership (the word "collaboration" and any other form of the word is slightly played to me) with SA Studios (Mr. Cartoon and Estevan Oriol: http://www.sastudiosglobal.com) for the launch of GTA IV and hosted a launch party in downtown LA for the game. XBox invited several industry leaders from all sorts of pop genres, including me, to come check out the game and to pick up a limited edition (500 worldwide; 250 in the US) GTA IV XBox 360 that was designed by SA. I was honored, to say the least, to be mentioned in the same tastemaking category as guys like Jeff Staple (http://blog.honeyee.com/jeff/), Bobby Hundreds (www.thehundreds.com) and Pharrell Williams (see photo below: http://bbcicecream.com/blog/2008/03/24/more-fun-on-the-tour-bus/), to name a but a few. This game pack is pretty sick, numbered for authenticity and comes with all the accessories in an attache case. Guess I'll have my hands full for the next few months. Thanks for the hook up J.P.!
