[godfist88]

first i'd buy a bigger hard drive for Xbox. then i would give in every stupid impulse buy imaginable.

 

[YOUM@D123]

I would cry when my Xbox 360 red rings and all those MS points will be useless since they can't be reconverted into cash.

something tells me you have ps3..

 

[DEATHROAD]

Buy 500,000 MS Penny sweets, What? Im a man of simple tastes..

OT: Get a metric fucktone of dlc, buy a few xbox originals that im not rich enough to fork out real money for (GTA:SA Im looking at you) and probably make my avatar look like the most minted mo' fo' this side of the marketplace, Again, man of simple tastes.

Actually I have 2 xbox 360s, a PS3 and a gaming PC. I love playing on the xbox 360, but the hardware is garbage. One of my xboxes has already red ringed twice and had the graphics card die once and I'm sick of paying to get it fixed. If it ever dies again I'll just defenestrate the damn thing and be done with it, which is a real shame because I have a ton of games for the system.

You found the invisible gasoline, and just attempted to light it, I'd call you on it but im impressed with your determination to start a flame war.

Not starting a flame war. I have 2 xbox 360s, and I love them to death, but I'm willing to point out that the hardware is complete and utter garbage, which is why one of my xbox 360s has died on me 3 times and why I won't be an early adopter for the next xbox generation.

 

[Solo-Wing]

Sell it and my Xbox for a PS3.

People seem to be forgetting that the points aren't tied to a certain console, they're tied to your profile. So as long as you remember the password and the email address to that profile you used, then your MS points and everything you've bought with them will be just fine. Plus the slim 360 isn't supposed to break down like the original. Note that I didn't say red ring - it can't red ring because (gasp) the led light won't turn red.

Yeah, but you'll have to pay $120 to get your console fixed, or $300 to buy a new one, and you can't do either of those with your microsoft points, and I wouldn't be willing to spend more money than I already have on the piece of shit hardware in the xbox 360. After getting mine fixed 3 times I'm officially done with it if it ever breaks again.

 

[ThatLankyBastard]

BRING ME DOWNLOADABLE CONTENT!!!

 

[Sieggy]

Trade it in for Microsoft stocks share.

 

[YOUM@D123]

Sell it and my Xbox for a PS3.

GET OUT.

 

[kommando367]

Buy several overpriced DLCs and figure out how to convert around 300,000 of it into cash legally if that's possible.

 

[ryai458]

Sell them to some hyper nerd for real money.

Then go buy beer and bitches.

You can't strut without beer and bitches.

And a furry coat.

You seem to have forgotten the purple fuzzy hat.

Yes, unfortunately. By the way, MS had a three year free warranty on the red rings, didn't they? When mine red-ringed, I sent it there and they got one back to me in less than a week and I was back up and running, and it hasn't red-ringed since. I think I just got a new Xbox because it still had a new console smell attached to it - you know the one - and I remember there being a nick on my old one that wasn't on the new one that I've had for two years now.

Why are you paying $120 if the red-ring warranty is supposed to be free?

Mine red ringed once under warranty, which I didn't pay for, then the videocard died, which wasn't covered by the warranty, and then it red ringed again about 2 weeks after the warranty expired.

[joshthor]

[Swifteye]

I would have a "painting the town red and buying it too" montage.

 

[Ih8pkmn]

I would buy every good arcade game and several DLCs, including the GTA4 expansions.

...then I would not be on the internet for 10 days waiting for all of it to load. Fuck My Bandwith.
