So I go to turn on my xbox 360, and the mother ****ing fans go into a crazed PCP anger trip mode and the little lights around the power button flash red for a bit until it dies.

I think this was a common issue with the 360s, what the **** did I do?

inb4 get a ps3

Send it away to get fixed, I guess. Nothing will fix it for good unless done professionally.

Of course, by the time you get it back the newer version of the Xbox will be out.

And I'm not one of them. I think that all 360s have a conscious, because my 360 is scared to red light. I'm so abusive to it when it's in perfect working condition that I think it's scared what I'll do to it if it red lights. I'll leave it on for 20 hours straight, off an on playing it, I'll get frustrated and punch it. It's seen what I've done to my controllers when they malfunction, and it doesn't want the same to happen to it.

I've destroyed a 360 controller with a hammer before. I had pictures of it on my phone, before my phone broke in half.

Assistance by phone seven days a week.
Hours of operation (every day):
9:00 A.M. to 1:00 A.M. Eastern Time
6:00 A.M. to 10:00 P.M. Pacific Time

Tell them what happened, they'll probably send you a box within about a week, you follow the directions in the box, send it back. In a few weeks they send it back fixed.
The whole process is free and takes about a 3 or 4 weeks in all.

Haha, I do the same. I've kicked my xbox against my wall and it still works.
I've broken far too many controllers by punching them and throwing them at walls.
I've done some stuff to my Xbox that should definately break it. Seems indesructable.

you can hook an xbox into a computer and run it, as one that is, it's quite nice.

Magically .

Lol @ Schall

I don't have an Xbox though but I still get mad at my comp and sometimes hit it. I broke a modem and my computer.

YAY FOR NOT HAVING AN XBOX!


=\

I almost never break anything like that or even throw them across the room... >_>

Wow ****. Nobody knows what causes it?

General hardware failure

Lol I kicked my ps2 and broke it in half cuz i got shot in a paintball game.
