mine died again a week ago, I would consider this casket for a proper burial, but I think I will torture mine with some hot air and reball the gpu, if that fails now I have a back up plan.

They should ship Windows in a similar box, seeing as it doesn't live more then a few days without good anti-virus software installed, and even then doesn't last more than a year or two before crapping the bed and needing a complete format-n-reinstall.

You must download a lot of pr0n from questionable sites then, since I haven't had a single virus in the 3 years I've used my computer without AV.

It's all about smart web browsing and downloading (i.e. using your brain).

HAHAH I just sent my 360 out for repair, I actually do hate the thing, but since its free, why not fix it. Wish I had the this box to ship it in, or burn it.

I think Microsoft missed the boat with ban waves. Being banned from their service mearely allows people to move on with their life. Same goes for when the console RRODs. I haven't played xbox games in several months. Thanks Microsoft :) probably changed my life forever. And to top it off, no more paying for xbox live or downloadable content.

Crysis 2 will be released on xbox360. No wonder you got a -1 for that comment.

This makes you wonder what the actual 360 sales figures are if you take into consideration how many people ended up buying more than one to replace dead ones.

I would have loved to use that packaging. I had 3 systems die due to RROD. It took MS 8 months to finally ship me back the system, even after 5 calls and 3 different tickets, talk about bad support. My brother had 2 and friend both had 2 system failures. MS was the 1st to the market but not without any headaches. The don't care about their clients. I will never purchase another XBOX360 ... Went with PS3 and have never looked back go SONY !!!

[citation][nom]thermalsig[/nom]Does it play funeral music when it's packed? That's genius creativity.[/citation]

No, it doesn't even play music, Microsoft made the perfect RRoD :D
