Normally, I don't write reviews. I'm more of a reader and analyzer; but in this case I can't keep my mouth shut. The Gears of War 3 Xbox 360 Vault by Calibur 11 is simply awesome. It's made out of very solid plastic, and has in-game interaction; the famous Gears logo glows red when you are downed in the game! It also has multiple light settings, so you can set it to turn on once in a while, or constantly, or just the perimeter, etc. It's a really nice case for my Xbox and it's very durable. You don't have to worry about this falling over on your entertainment center. Also, some added perks are it includes a code to enter into a contest to win a life-sized COG suit of armor, as well as the option to create nameplates that you can install onto your vault (I have my gamertag on mine). This is an excellent alternative to anyone who would consider getting a limited edition Xbox 360 for a much more affordable price, but still have it look unique and stand out in your living room. Highly recommended for all Gears fans especially!

To begin with, I bought this for my brother as a birthday gift. I ordered it directly from Calibur11's website. After they charged my card, I heard nothing from them for about a week. Then I emailed them and asked what was going on. They emailed me back saying that they apologize but the Mass Effect 3 vault is on backorder (How does this work when you're the manufacturer?) and my order would be delayed for three weeks to a month. I told them that was fine, since I didn't order the Mass Effect 3 vault, I then asked them to cancel my order, as I would order it from Amazon instead, since there were multiple sellers selling it.I placed the order, and it arrived. This thing is amazing looking. It really is, and I want that to be clear. I put it together on my brothers Xbox and plugged in the USB, only to find that the USB isn't working. Its either the USB thats not working, or the Vault came with dead LEDs. For some reason, which I admit I am unsure about, this just doesn't work. Brand new and it doesn't work.
My next step was to look online for support or help about this. I thought that perhaps others have had this issue. Good luck with that, is all I can say now. I couldn't find ANY support or help for any of the Calibur11 products, even on their own website. I resorted to posting a comment on their youtube video for the product in hopes of them seeing it and contacting me back.
This is horrible customer service on their part, on both accounts (the original order, and the lack of a help section). This was supposed to work out of the box, it does not. I am left with no other options but to leave this review so that others may know about my experience. I'll update this, accordingly, when or if I hear from Calibur11.
September 29th Update:
I finally got this working. The connector for the USB power that plugs in to the led's seemed to be slightly damaged, upon removing it and investigating. Luckily, I know a guy good with stuff like this and he fixed it up for me. The product now works as it should and glows properly.
I never heard ANYTHING from Calibur11, and as such, will probably not be a returning customer.
September 29th Update 2:
Apparently Calibur11 did contact me on Youtube. They sent me a link they called a "Troubleshooter". It was a link to
Nowhere on that website is there a troubleshooter. It describes how to set up the sound function, and nothing else. They did not help at all and I had to fix this issues myself (with the help of a friend).
To reiterate, I will not purchase from Calibur11 again.
