Well some of you may know from my other thread i had decided to sell my 360.
I boxed it all back up over the weekend ready to take down to Warrwick today.
Last night i was tidying my room, picked up the 360 box to take downstairs, carrying by the plastic carry handle on top of the box. Walked across my bedroom and out onto the landing.
Approached the stairs, stepped down onto the first step and *RIP* the plastic handle had ripped through the coardboard, it was almost like slow motion as i watched the first handle break away from the box, the jolt and twist and the box falling onto 1 support of the plastic handle proved to much and the rest of the handle gave way.
Xbox went crashing down the stairs in its box with all its contents. Stood at the top of the stairs with a plastic handle in my hand slowly coming to grips with what had just happened.
Walked down the stairs and collected the 360. Set it up and plugged it in.
To my amazement it powered up with a click click here and a pop pop there i thought "this isnt too bad" i then thought ill try a disc, not wanting to write a game off aswell i put in a old DVD, Disc wouldnt read, the drive made some nasty sounds at me.
So a word of advice, DO NOT MESS WITH THE UNKNOWN FORCES OF THE XBOX 360 GODS!
Something tells me they dont want me to sell it. So that was my night. Going to see if i can get a replacement, if not then ill have to splash out on a Core system to replace my Premium
Thanks for reading.
