Just thought that id share a bit of good new with you guys, i was walkign home the other day and found a 360 box with a 360 inside it lying in the street. I took it home and sure enough it had the rrod but after a quick route through the garage to get soem screws and replacign the near useless x-clamps i now am the owner of a reclaimed xbox.

AHarvey · 11 Jan 2011 at 21:16

Ciphon · 11 Jan 2011 at 21:16

I call shenanigans!

Stolen from an old peoples home I reckon..

some burglars probably dropped it doing a runner , microsoft will trace the location through xbox live and you will get 5 years inside picking up the soap

lol yea, but yes your right theres no point leaving it to get destroyed when there was a chance it was an easy fix.

The owners must have just realised that console gaming was dying, bought a PC and thrown out the toy.

What for? He made a completely legitimate and correct statement

Good on you for not letting the thing go to waste I guess. Wish I could find stuff walking down the street.

If you don't need it, you could always take it back, knock on a few doors and return a fixed xbox.

That'd make someone's day
