My xbox just broke, what to do?

[Anticitizen_Two]

Read a book, like many have said.

If you want to remain within the world of gaming, I suggest using ZSNES, Project 64, or Dolphin. Fantastic emulators.

Dolphin isn't that the wii emulator how good of a computer do you need to run it/ because there is this one gamecube game i want to play

It's a Gamecube and Wii emulator. I'm not sure of the exact requirements, you'd have to check the website for that, but I think with some adjustments to the graphics you could run it on a dual core processor pretty easily.

When my 360 broke, I played Portal on my computer; it made me happy. I'm not sure if that will help you though.

Get prepared for the mass amount of "Buy a PS3" from the Sony Fanboy's. Don't. The 360 is better. Also next time buy your 360 at Best-Buy. If it gets the RROD you can turn it in and they'll give you a brand new one with the same hard drive.

Time to bust out my unbiased PS3 vs. XBOX facts.

Also, not to be a dick, Though that's exactly what I'm trying to do. but you have one too many apostrophes. I'm just your friendly neighborhood douchemonster Grammar Nazi.

Unbiased facts:

Xbox has a bigger game selection.
Xbox has better online.
Xbox has better controllers

PS3 has free online. That instantly makes it awesome. I am unbiased!
PS3 has good exclusives but less overall game selection.
PS3s are very customizable.

Xbox has a failure rate somewhere between 25-60%
PS3 has a failure rate between 1-10%

Xbox can provide free Netflix and usage of Facebook (assuming you bought a LIVE subscription).
PS3 has an internet browser where you can visit websites such as Facebook and PSN also provides a free music video service.

Xbox discs can't stand up to bluray discs in terms of available space and quality of graphics.

Xbox hard-drives are sold separately or with the console and can be replaced, however, some Xbox consoles don't have a memory card or hard-drive with them at time of purchase.
PS3 console each come with a hard-drive with available space ranging from 20-250 GB (same with Xbox, the amount of space per hard-drive I mean).

PS3 controllers are very unnatural feeling and don't conform to the hand very well, and no amount of controller add-ons can fix this fact.

Xbox consoles tend to be much more affordable while PS3 consoles are on average $50 more.

I'll leave the final verdict to you.

I'm so glad I decided to save this.

Seeing as I have both, I'll stick to my opinion. Kthxbye.
Also it's the "fanboy's" isn't it? I'll edit that out in a bit.

I own both as well. So what's your point?
>.>
<.<

If you would've read your post you would've seen that you set out the facts of both systems, and would then on let people choose their opinion. I was secure with my opinion so I said I'd stick to my opinion. You should really read what you post more often.

I'm not forcing my opinions on you. I'm being a douchemonster by trying to state that your opinion makes no sense, but I'm not forcing anything on anyone. Saying that the XBOX is immediately better than the PS3 is pretty stupid considering the fact that they're both pretty even in terms of Pros and Cons. But yes, people's opinions are their own.

And where did I say that you forced your opinions on me?

Also, a douchemonster is a swear that I made up a couple days ago.. I just like saying it.

 

[Slash Dementia]

I'm with the people that say "read a book." Books can be very entertaining.

Also...draw, write, play music. Do you have an old consoles that you can dust off and play?

 

[SilverUchiha]

My xbox just broke yesterday and beyond the fact that i can't play games it was also my dvd player and the only way that i can watch netflix( my computer sucks so i can't watch instantly on netflix.com). Anybody have any idea's for what to do for the next 2-3 weeks while it's being fixed?

Take over the world. Start with South America and work your way up.

[Deviltongue]

1) Build up an army of criminals and mercenaries

2) Find an Black Ops Military dude and burn down his house with his family still inside

3) Spend the next 2 and a half weeks trying to kill him while he tries to get revenge.

4) Kill him

5) Sell the movie rights to Hollywood.

6) Profit.

(No question marks in this plan.)

you could... you know... do that thing with your right hand that lots of people do when they're bored... if you get what I mean.

Thumb war?

 

[LeonLethality]

do a barrel roll
read a book, play GBA/DS/PSP should you have them, go on the escapist... the list goes on.

...That's 3 things. Not really leaving much up for interpretation because you only picked three things that aren't really linked.

I could list a lot more things other than playing Xbox he could do, I just put up the first three that came to mind.

 

[Sarahcidal]

paint a picture, write a novel/comic, read a book, follow some random conspiracies, hit a club/pub, find an old school NES system and start collecting some cheesy old games, rent some bad 80's B movies, rent some cult classics on DVD, have a monty python marathon with some friends, go for a walk, google some lists like "Fun things to do in a Wal Mart" and actually do the things the list says with a couple of friends (make sure one of them has a camera)

 

[DrEmo]

You can:
Get a cat, go to cracked.com, find a new Xbox, play the old games you neglected because of your Xbox, slap a pigeon, grow a carrot in a shoe, find a lizard then throw it at someone, use your new free time to download huge files for the heck of it, learn to play the ocarina, read Shakespeare's complete works, play around with chemistry, study, spend quality time with friends/family, lick something you wouldn't lick otherwise, burn some ants, sculpt something, acquire a taste for modern art, watch every South Park episode, discover new music, read the replies to your post, fight a dragon, watch Bruce Lee movies, watch Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagan, learn to twirl a pen, write a book, harass Starbuck's employees, build a flamethrower out of a super soaker, BUY a flamethrower (legal in the US), learn to ride a unicyle, write a poem, start a blog, read Raven's Dojo the webcomic, beat Super Mario world
AND
Make a wall of text list on the escapist, much to the dismay of others.


I bet no one's gonna read the whole thing, though...
