That's strange, i've had mine for 3 years i think, and it hasn't broke yet. maybe your friend got a bad one.....

He's probably got an old one. I dropped mine from two feet up, it smashed to the floor, and it was still good as new.

^^^^^^LOL YEA RIGHT.

Anyway, your friend must hit the xbox hard or something, because just tapping it, should cause damage to it.

I say just buy a brand new one, its only 150 bucks.

The Xbox is durable. I've dropped it a few times when I move it around and it works great!

Anyway, your friend must have hit the xbox hard. When you say he broke it, how do you mean? Did he smah it? Or does it just no work anymore?

dark1365
He probably dropped it like 15 times that you didn't know of, and the final "light" whack was the last straw.

You're friend is just thick and stupid for hitting it in the first place.

I've had mine for three years, and I had my first problem with it only last week, so yes it is durable.

Well said.

I've never heard of X-box's breaking unless it was in a case of real physical abuse. Btw: "Ain't" ain't a word.

hotsauce6548
Actually it is a word, just not proper english. yes

i actually have a story in the favor of the box's durability. Nearly a year ago there was a devastating flood here in PIttsburgh. My xbox was in 3 feet of water for an entire day. For kicks i let it dry out dor a couple days and tried it. Needless to say, it is still working. Microsoft may not be able to make good games, but they canmake damn good housing for their systems.

hotsauce6548
Yeah, but they CAN make good games. big grin

Holy hell.

why the hell did your friend hit his xbox?

That is just plain stupid. You shouldn't go around hitting your stuff anyway! My brother has had his xbox since he got it! And it still works!! How terrible. I mean, this thing has gone through several moves and everything. *shakes head* He had to have hit it pretty darn hard to bust it up...

yeah, really. unless he got a lemon.

I have broke an nes before. i bought one bout two years ago. After dying continuosly in ninja turtles, i felt as though the nintendo was mocking me saying "you can master the best ps2 and xbox games, but i own your ass on ninja turtles." what else was i do to rather than chuck it across the room?

It's because back then games were made so you'd get your ass kicked and like it.

the older games are a lot more challenging that most of today's. how? i don't know, since enemines always come from the exact same places

I don't think he is arguing that it doesn't work. He's just saying that they don't break that easily.

first off, how could u whack somethin "lightly"? whack means a quick hard strike. so if he "whaked" his xbox he must have hit it with somethin friggen hard. and plus if xbox isn't durable then the world is goin to all hell. i have an old Atari system and that thing runs like a dream and so does my super nintendo. xbox is by all means durable.

Hit any electrical appliance and it doesn't usually respond well.

Things like this are in general not really built to be man handled by slack jaw yokels, who tend to call the X-Box the sex box and decide to put "something else" in the disc drive.

People need to stop raping their electrical appliances.

lol! well put laughing laughing ^^^

XBOX SUCKS!!!! I'VE HAD MY PS2 FOR 4 YEARS NOW AND I HAVE NEVER HAD ONE PROBLEM WITH IT. I BOUGHT AN XBOX ABOUT 4 MONTHS AGO AND IT'S BROKEN. I NEVER TAKE IT ANYWHERE BECAUSE ALL OF MY FRIENDS HAVE THEM, IT'S NEVER BEEN DROPPED, AND I HAVE NEVER HIT IT OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT. I DOWNLOADED THE NEW HALO 2 MAPS AND THEN TURNED OFF MY XBOX. THE NEXT DAY I GET ON TO TEST THE MAPS OUT AND AN ERROR MESSAGE COMES UP ON THE BOOTSCREEN SAYING "SERVICE REQUIRED, PLEASE CALL CUSTOMER SERVICES" IN MY OPINION MICROSOFT HAS NO CLUE ON HOW TO MAKE GAMING SYSTEMS YET. SO NOW I HAVE TO PAY 80 BUCKS AFTER 4 MONTHS OF USE. thumb down thumb down thumb down thumb down sad sad

y the HELL does everyone say the xbox sucks???!?!?! IT DOESN'T SUCK. all u people who think it sucks remember one thing....this was microsoft's first attempt at a gaming consol. how could it suck if urs broke?? u probably got a bad one. i've had mine for 2 years and it's doin JUST FINE. i have dropped it on accident, it's been to a million other places, not just my house. IF YOU DON'T LIKE XBOX THEN DON'T ***** ABOUT IT TO OTHER PEOPLE CUZ THEY MAY LIKE XBOX. EVER THINK BOUT THAT?? i've made my point. now no more complaining "oh my ****in xbox broke for no apparent reason so it must suck!" CUZ UR PROBABLY THE ONE WHO BROKE IT. SO IT AIN'T MOCROSOFTS FAULT FOR UR BROKEN XBOX. good god people!

how about you all get into one big pile and have a 40 guy gang bang with each other!1 how about that

Dogbert
Wow, even though you're restricted, I must say... you're dumb smile

dark1365
@Sn/\ke
Well, that's your problem. I got the maps just fine. Dropped the Xbox, WITH A GAME DISC IN IT, MIND, and BOTH worked perfectly fine afterwards. You probably bought a ghetto one. Make your choices wisely.
