Default What to do with your broken Xbox360
Quote:
Ah, the ill-fated Xbox 360 Red Ring of Death, how we fear thy ways. After all, with a 16% failure rate, it could happen to anyone. For some of us, it already has. Multiple times. And as much as we love spending a half hour coaxing Microsoft’s customer service into sending us a “coffin” (the sad cardboard box used to mail back your deceased console) only to receive yet another broken replacement, sometimes its easier to just give up. Well then, the least that Microsoft could do is give us a few ideas of what to do with this giant, expired paperweight of failure. That’s why we propose the official Red Ring of Death Apology Manual, printed and paid for by Microsoft themselves, of course. Besides, what else are you gonna do with the damn thing?

Wii Stand



Sure, the snazzy gray stand the Wii comes packed with is cool, but nothing says “**** you, Microsoft!” more than perching the tiny Wii on top of the mountain of fried circuitry that is the Xbox360. It’s like screwing your hot new girlfriend in front of your comatose wife.

Fake Female Companion



You could easily buy a plastic blow-up doll, but why risk the debilitating embarrassment or bother spending the cash when you already dropped $300+ on a defect-riddled console? A little lube will go a long way with the 360s myriad inputs. The only question is: Are you a front port man, or a back port man?

Everyone loves kites. Of course, that’s assuming they are capable of riding the wind. Tie a string onto a busted 360, hand it to a little kid, and watch them bawl uncontrollably as they discover that a hulking piece of plastic and soldered wires can’t fly. For extra kicks, tell them Santa Clause won’t be bringing them a new system because he doesn’t exist.
OMG - I THINK I JUST BUSTED A GUT!!! ROFLMAO
