Cheesecake on your Xbox!

Microsoft supports charity with custom airbrushed consoles for auction.

Every now and then, Microsoft likes to shed its image as a giant soul-less corporation, and it takes on the mantle as a giant soul-less corporation that cares for the less fortunate. Actually, that's pretty harsh, and MS's Konsoles for Kids charity drive is pretty neat.

To get into the whole Australian Fashion Week vibe, there's a mess of airbrushed consoles signed by the world's fashion elite, including Elle MacPherson, Jennifer Hawkins, designers Sass & Bide and vacuous celebrity entity Kim Kardashian. 

You know, we're normally not a Hawkins fan, but her, um, box is pretty alluring... Wait... did I say that or think that?!

Moving right along, if you want to know more, or are even tempted to bid, move your mouse on over the the Konsoles for Kids site.

I'm all for corsets...I think it was the excess of buckles that turned me off.

Give me a unitard-clad lass though and I'm all over it!

You guys might like those types, but all you're going to end up with is a gimp with a raging rod if you keep on faffing about it :P

They did a custom Halo Edition. Before you click the link though, take a guess how much it went for.

Not that much compared to the Halo 360 when you think about it.
