View Full Version : So I just murdered my Xbox

The last few weeks have been somewhat frustrating, to say the least so about an hour ago While playing BattleField2 on my Xbox it suddenly stopped and gave me a disk read error in spanish, I put in a few other games (Black and Halo2) both of wich refused to work at all so I figured it was the Disk drive. I left it for about 5 minutes and came back to it, plugged in BF2 and attempted multiplayer it began to load then Green unreadable text flashed across the screen and it froze. Now of all the things that have happened in the past few weeks this could be considered a minor inconvenience but all the things piling up finally broke the floodgate of shit I can take. I promptly Ripped open the Dvd Drive threw the BF2 CD at the wall and made it shatter, Punched in the DVD drives case, tore the hard drive and its housing out and ripped off almost every cable and then threw the rest at a concrete wall in my basement.
Good riddance you microsoft piece of shit

my 360 died the other day :(
for a product that seems to have a 1 in 3 chance of death, microsoft's responce was really good, got through the an operator quickly, they took my details, UPS picked it up the next day, should have it back in about a week
i suppose the cogs of tech support are well used to problems :P

I remember When I got My X-Box. It came with one disc containing Amped 2 and Topspin. But it was broken. So I Phoned microsoft and they sent me the two games (on seperate Discs with the actual Packaging :) ). I later sold Topspin to EB games and Used that to get Burnout 3. Good times.
