This Story and picture are nothing but a fake that should be reported and removed.
I right clicked and "Save Picture As" Opened it up in Photo Shop and zoomed in. Ohh my what do i see lol
1st There is a Piece of main board missing where the fan/Heatsink extends past the mainboard.
2- The power for the fan does not connect to the fan lol instead they photo shoped it going directly into the heat sink which is not possible in real life, you dont mount po...
you know what the sad part is, allot of people will just read the front of the box which says 5 games included, buy it thinking they can bring it home and play for awhile but find out the hardway that its only demos with like 1 level.
The other thing that ticks me off is the way MS is Trying to push there remaining defective stock off on consumers before they bring out the suposadly fixed/redesigned Falcon. They Disconinuted the Core system and just gave it a new name "xb...
Incase you people did not read it correctly The arcade games are ONLY DEMOS, you know the same exact ones you get for FREE on live ..lol
This is only a Core 360 (NO HARDDRIVE) with a 256Mb memory card for game saves. These Cheesey Arcade DEMOS are located on the disc itself which means in order to play them you will have to insert the disc.
"a disc that includes demos of Xbox LIVE Arcade games Boom Boom Rocket, Feeding Frenzy, Luxor 2, Pac-Man Championship, and Uno....
The real problem with people having to upgrade there computer to play these games are the systems there buying. Most people have no clue about a PCs hardware, they walk into a department store and get advice from a 19 year old salesman who should be flipping hamburgers. They spend under $700 and walk out with a basic HP,compaq or gateway computer package deal (monitor,printer,computer,$400 of included outdated bundled software that is useless and system restore disk)
The bottom...
My P4 system with 1gb ram & Nvidia 7600GS 512mb Video Card Runs and looks perfect. Infact I have seen the 360 version and it is not as clear and detailed as what my 7600gs PC puts out. The funny part is, it only has a 3.4GHz Pentium 4 w/ht and yet it still out performs the 360 console.
I also use a program to contol windows Vista etc, im using Pinnacle game profiler. works flawless and every button can be programmed to your liking.
I dont have a super computer, infact the most expensive thing is the video card. Altogether it only cost around $550-$650 to build which includes Windows Vista lol.
I have Bioshock Settings all on high and it looks awesome ,runs smooth, loading of new levels takes less then a minute and no Freeze-ups or issues, ohh ya plus it was $10 cheaper then the 360 version.
My system specs: Pentium4 3.4GHZ, ASROCK mainboard , 1GB DDR400, Windows Vista32, Wireless 360 Controller & US...
I have been using this wireless 360 USB dongal for over a year , its always plugged in, always running and i have NEVER had any issues with it. Infact its the best thing since sliced bread. I will also add that im also using the original LAUNCH Controller which has also works flawless. And BioSHock is awesome on the PC!
Even if they were giving these 360's for free now, I would not take it. The 360 is total junk with a Failure rate proven to be over 33%, it has the worst Tech-support in history not to mention the Azzwipes they got running the Xbox forums. Do yourself a favor, stay far and clear of anything even related to the xbox 360. Trust me i have been there and back its not worth the headaches or money you will lose in the long run.
Games Dont break systems, The 360 is capable of running exactly what the developers are createing and programing. The problem is the 360 was not designed correctly, Its a lemon design. To be put in laymans terms, The 360 parts (GPU, CPU ,Memory etc..) Can handle the games however because of the Faulty 360 Design and cooling the system overheats just like it always has and Bricks. Again The componets are doing there job well but the root cause is the very poor cooling design in the 360.
The fact and truth is the only thing the 360 will do for the family environment is make the kid cry and become depressed while holding his controller and crying because his Viva Pinata game locked up with dots all over the TV screen with 3-red lights flashing on the console.
Mom and Dad are screaming on the phone with MS tech support because $140 for repairs is taking food off there families Table and little johnny's $400 X-Mas present is now a Big Flashing Red Brick.
As the 360...
Ya ok.. thanks for the good laugh.

gotta love it, some of you MS fanboys just cant accept the fact that the 360 is total junk and will continually get screwed by MS. If anyone says anything bad and truthful about the CrapBox you try to shut them up..lol very immature and pathetic, but then again what else can anyone expect from a MS fanboy. Really Some of them are even to dumb to realize a lemon when it flashes 3-red lights in there face, instead they go out and buy another..lol
"What do you get when you play Forza Motorsport 2 over a network of up to five Xbox 360 game consoles with just as many monitors?"
Thats simple, You would get SUNBURN and a mild case of Epilepsy from all the xbox 360's 3-red lights falshing at the same time..... lol
Your right because the PS3 dont overheat so its impossiable to die from it, HOWEVER chances are you will burn down your house when you wrap your 360 in a towel trying to fix the 3-red ligh...
I did the same thing awhile back after my 2nd one crapped out. Sold everything seperatly which is the way to go if you want to get the most money back. Power Supply got me $65, hardrive $65, Controllers $20 each and games ranged from $20- $45 each. All in all i got a little over $500 back and still have a few games left over.
Used the money to build a MID Range gaming PC P4 3.4 GHZ w/HT , 1GB DDR400 (duel channel) , 160GB hardrive, ATI 9550 Video card and a few Games which cost abou...
Ya Ok, The only problem with the 360 is that it breaks within months, Hello is anyone home? lol Dude the system DIES completely, when this happens you cant use it at all, yet in your Mind this is the ONLY problem the 360 has..lol Get real its more then just a problem, Its a complete failure! a $400 Paper weight As for "MS is doing a great job Fixing them" what planet are you from? MS has done nothing but put a little GLUE on there newest elite 360 which are failing also and yo...
Well Im not a sony fanboy, infact I USED TO BE A MS Fanboy, Yup you heard me right, I started out as a Beta Tester for the original Xbox Live service and when that was over I became a Loyal MS customer. I also had 360 on launch day which died after 13 months due to the famous 3ROL GPU issue, My second store bought 360 only lasted a few months and died from the same exact 3ROL GPU issue. All MS wanted was $140 for repairs and informed me that because I refused to renew my Gold (which was abou...
This towel trick is a very old method of getting a 360 to boot up again after getting the 3-red lights. It has been around for awhile and will not fix the system. In some cases the heat induced by blocking the vents with a towel causes the mainboard to warp (the same reason it broke in the 1st place) This warpage sometimes is enough to warp the board to the point the GPU contacts touch and the system boots up again however 90% of the time the system will only work for 15min to a few hours, i...
Its no surprize that Microsoft is being so anal However Nintendo has nothing to worry about and most likly just laughed it off because everyone knows by now that the 360 has become the most defective gaming system in history.
The Fact is even the 360 cant play DVDs with its famous 3-red lights, but at least the Wii user can still play games and enjoy there Wii system while the 360 user is calling MS for a coffin and paying $150 twice per year for repairs on a system that cant b...
I have a 40" samsung 3DTV and its freaking amazing.
I can see why people who dont have one or just bought a new TV within a year are kinda upset, however either save up or next time do your research before buying.
3Dtv is here to stay and its nothing like it was years ago with reg and blue glasses. The 3D of today is truely amazing. I have already played BFBC2 in 3D thanks to the on the fly 2d to 3d conversion the new samsung tvs have and its awesome.
