While it's hard to convey in pictures, the ice is actually a translucent layer with the Crimson Omen physically layered below it. The Crimson Omen – the main symbol of the Gears of War franchise – is below the ice, but it's not some 'use your imagination' design here.
The company's description sums it up nicely:Ī limited-edition console featuring a dark translucent casing that makes the Crimson Omen appear submerged in snow and ice, designed by Gears co-creator Rod Fergusson and the Xbox team…laser-etched cracks appear across the console's icy top surface and snow drifts across a Golden locust symbol on the back. Microsoft pulled no punches with this Gears 5 console.
