Subject: Damn my Xbox to hell! I hate it so much!

It was a cold day near the southern base in Blood Gulch. Cortana and I were relaxing over a game of Go Fish, WHEN OUT OF NO WHERE 700 BANSHEES CAME FLYING IN!!! I GRABED MY SPARTAN LASER AND LET HELL REIGN DOWN UPON THEM. I HOPPED IN THE NEAREST WARTHOG AND TOLD CORTANA TO GET IN.

Oh my God. It is the most annoying beastly console ever having the misfortune of being brought into this world.

It randomly freezes, shuts off, makes grinding noises, refuses to aknowladge that there's a controller plugged in, and many other irritable things. I hate it. I really do.

So sell it on ebay and buy a new one. I don't have any of those problems and I have had mine for 2 years.

And maybe it hates you, with all of your imperfections, and leaving it outside for hours on end. Maybe you should stop using crappy 3rd party controllers and using the disktray as a cupholder.

Either its old, or a PS2 in disguise.

I use no third party controllers, I don't use the disktray as a cupholder, and I am insulted that you think I am that stupid. Now is not the time totest me, even if it was ment jokingly.

It is very old. I got it the year it came out, in May. First gen, and shes held on pretty well for awhile. But God, it is so annoying.

My friend's xbox has most of the same problems, and he has treated it like a God since the day he bought it. This is indeed a mystery.

Everything will be gone long before me. When the first living thing was born, I was here, waiting. When the last living thing dies, my job is finished. I'll put the chairs on the tables, turn out the lights and lock the universe behind me when I leave.

I have that problem too. but i just get over it. I need to get a new one, or just wait till x-box 2(or w/e they are calling it)comes out.I got mine when it came out too, but i got it that x-mas.

I got mine March of 2002. It still works fine.......except for that time when I was playing Morrowind for 12 hours straight and it started to sound like a lawnmower and turned off.

It's those damn thompson drives....

  • 01.03.2005 4:34 PM PDT

I'll be on my own side.

the Thompson drives in the old Xboxes are the problem. the new ones have Samsung drives,and dont have any of those problems. just go to Gamestop and grab a refurbished box for like 100. its a good deal, and they test them to make sure they work.

My other one is only a year old and it's already starting to act funny. Luckily I have the Halo Xbox so I should be good until I get Xbox 2.

Yeah, whenever I press the large button on the front of the Xbox, it makes my TV flash patterns of light that resemble moving pictures, then makes a soft whirring noise. At the same time, a piece of plastic slides out of the Xbox. It's so stupid, I need a new one.

A nice place for Xbox repairs


I bought a new disk drive and followed their steps how to put it in.
Kept my old Xbox alive for another year or so, but then it just died completly. Wouldn't even turn on. So I bought a referbished 'box for $120, and a $17 two year warinty....and this peice of crap is starting to break.

Hope this helps.
