Joerg Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 I never owned one of these, and even never saw one of these except on websites -> Yes, I didn't have any clue :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Mischif Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 yes there's little tabs you have to press behind the morse code holes that spell out a message, kinda like taking a 360 apart They spell something out? Is it specific for each one or is it the same for all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SomeoneE1se Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 They spell something out? Is it specific for each one or is it the same for all? I would guess they're all the same creating different cases for each would be very expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
