The Day the Earth Stood Still

a friend wants to buy an Elite for XMAS. what's your advice, in light of your recent bad luck/karma with regard to your (as good as) deceased XBOX 360?

 

If he buys one now it will most likely be a jasper. It should be pretty cool. I mean my Falcon runs warm, not hot, so a Jasper has got to be cool.

 

No wonder he's pissed.. He was using the 360 to heat his apartment!

 

i think the team that designed the 360 was behind the design of Chernobyl as well

 

well, i've had mine for about 17 months and no problems with the console (except self-induced) until now. buying a 360 really has been one of the better purchases i've ever made if you consider the entertainment value, how many hours of use, and all the new and interesting people i've met and made friends with. totally worth it imo despite it's problems.

lol, after it RR'd i totally just left it on to heat my bedroom. xD

 

Hey, I do that in my bedroom!!

360 + LCD TV + laptop = pretty good heating system! And more economical than my 2kW heater, too ;-)

 

I never thought of that...

I wish my 360 was still hot sometimes, it did heat stuff up a degree or two.

My old 360 + 2 other 360s + 2 large men + 3 tv's = not fun in the summer. I don't put off much heat so I'm not counting me.

 

you got ice in your veins. good luck with all the family stuff, too.

 

I just thought about it, it's near sexmas and your 360 is on and off dead. I'm so sorry! I got so lucky on gears 2 launch and getting a replacement. I hope you don't suffer a true tragedy.

And thanks for the good luck. I'll equip it for +5 SPEC.

 

Uhoh... You mentioned Chernobyl... Run before henners gets up on this

 

DO I HEAR CHERNOBYL?!?!

 

true..even not that surprising!

 

ok, so my xbox is really dead now. it red ringed again last night. i'm not gonna try and bother with it. time to make the phone call. i'm using one of my room mates 360s until further notice.

 

That sucks to have it die on Sexmas eve. You could always temporarily revive it with a towel like I use to.

 

Holy hot damn....

Thats one of the most intriguing thoughts I have heard anyone say in awhile based on Video game assumptions, naw mean?

Think of it... They will all be red ringed over a matter of time.... Thats so scary! :crying:

 

Man thats to bad about your 360 but maybe this will make you feel better:110:

I think I'm going to buy one and just put it away for a while. Who knows.

Thanks! That was awesome. Totally made my day. That and the fact it's Christmas. :110:
