Hey man, looking good.

If you've not deleted the history you can go into the attribute editor and find the poly smooth tab and unsmooth it.

P.S Stick your undo to infinate, in the preferences!

edges are way to sharp for a 360
they are very rounded

does your "xbox 360" text come out of the door, or is it pushed into it?

that's definitely not coming out. also, i think you're using the wrong font. you can find sites that comment on which font to use, etc. if you want to create text with a 'famous' font.

Accept no substitutions.
