What to do with a dead Xbox 360?

Archive: 40 posts


Turns out the answer is keep the electric motors for reasons of the OCD kind and send the left overs to rest as landfill. Which means it's now time for this thread to rest in peace.




I'm expecting this thread to flop but nothing ventured nothing gained I say.

I have just been given a dead Xbox 360 (Yes these sort of things excite me) so I was just wondering a couple of things.
And yes the Xbox 360 is comlpetely dead and there is no chance of repair so no comments about repairing it please.

1. Are there pictures of anything that you would like to see from inside an Xbox 360?

2. Is there anything that could be done with any of the parts to have a bit of fun?

I've already made a quick USB powered fan with the fans but there not very powerful so that was a let down.

Well you could attach a sledge hammer to a bolt and let it swing into the 360, that would be funny!2010-03-16 11:53:00

make a "my girlfriend plays Xbox 360 too much" video a nice twist on a classic, plus you get to think of creative ways to destroy it 2010-03-16 17:09:00

Shinyyyyyyyy

Set it on fire and make a lolcat-esque picture that says something like:
"Spontaneous Combusiton Fail"
Or something similar

1. Set Xbox down
2. Squat over it
3. Release

That good sir is what every man should do to anything that is damaged/causes problems/aggravates us.

take out your camera, start smashing it with a hammer and upload it to youtube.

I say use the laser from the DVD drive for a laser pointer or something, and use the rest by doing the following.

Make a video of you smashing it on youtube and don't say it is broken, just say how much it sucks.

Xbox fanboy rage ensues, and I laugh at the comments.

Throw it off a two-story building onto a sheet. Then, roll the sheet up into a bundle and set it on fire. Dump the ashes in a river.2010-03-17 04:33:00

What's with the hate? It's just a game console.

Empty it out and wear it as a fancy hat. The women will be all over you!

Holy crap there's alot of quotes here, anyway here goes nothing.

Or I could use the power brick it's pretty much a sledge hammer anyway and think of the IRONY!!!


sell it to a system repair guy he will probably buy the parts that are good
Wow, someone actually responded seriously but I'm gonna keep those parts for myself. thanks anyway.


Look at my sig...
Hahah I never noticed that, nice work.


you can build a laser gun look at youtube
That sounds cool, I'll look it up, thanks.


microwave it.

microwave anything.
I don't think my parents would be very happy if I did that but it does sound like fun.


OK, in all seriousness, throw it at an old lady.
Doopz, If this is you being serious I want to see you when you're not

I think I will do this, not because I perticularly hat Xbox 360's but it would just be so much fun and I can't pass up the opportunity.

cook it. try a flamb?? i think it would make a very tasteful dish if served with fine wine.
i guess you could salt it and store it for the long, hard winter months on the trail. wow, i almost went off on an oregon trail tangent there, go me!
in all seriousness,
give it a proper burial. be respectful.

Well a lotof things DO taste like chicken but I don't think copper and silicon have much fibre, maybe a nintendo 64 would be better.

The thread is old but out of my love for the 360 I just have to say what I think about it. Smash that fking piece of garbage with a hammer! Then burn it and keep hammering the melting parts as long as you can!!! Well but if it's working again or if you have a new one do it anyway!!!!!2010-04-11 04:06:00

If you are talking about me I like the Wii, the PS3 an every other console so that has nothing to do with fanboys or girls. The 360 is just a piece of junk and not even worth the effort of smashing it!
If you're not talking about me a PS3 fanboy is always better then a 360 fanboy anyway because it's a better console then the Microsoft garbage.
