Support over the last two weeks has been amazing, and we have nearly cleared out our restock! ❤️

We are working on shipping out all orders this week.

The 20% Stellar RGB bundle discount is extended for one more week. Buy now, as the next Project Stellar restock will not be until later this year. 🚀

Stellar RGB kits are arriving and already being installed. 🥳

Discord member hattymein shared these pictures of their install in a crystal edition Xbox and said: "It’s the best fucking thing ever. Super glad you came up with this."

We were also able to use spare inventory of Project Stellar and XboxHD+ to fulfill a large portion of backorders originally scheduled for September. Remaining orders are now on track to ship within the next 1 to 2 weeks.

All Stellar RGB orders have shipped! 🥳

A small restock is coming in 1 to 2 weeks, earlier than the original September estimate for Project Stellar and Stellar XboxHD+.

To celebrate, get 20% off Stellar RGB when bundled with either for the next two weeks!

User guides for Stellar RGB kits are now live! 🥳

Realizing I didn’t post this here. Finally put together my “ideal” original Xbox a few months ago. I wanted the best of both worlds as far as looks and reliability, so this is an extremely late model 1.6, transplanted into a JP Skeleton shell, along with the @makemhz.com Stellar HD+.
