My xbox just broke, what to do?

[Canid117]

Learn to live without your XBox? It isn't that big a deal to lose it for two weeks.

Go outside.

No glitches, better vitamin D intake from the sun, and a significantly higher chance of getting laid.

 

[Zedzero]

I'm going to say anything and everything.

 

[jboking]

no, it's not being fixed for free, have to shell out 100 bucks to get it fixed.

Not under warranty? Ouch.

 

[Altaries]

Grow a moustache and become a poet.

If you've got an original XBOX, better call some guy with a crane and/or a forklift to remove it.

If you're talking about a 360, try and take it back. It's the trade-in pile next to the gas cylinder trade-in pile at your local hardware shop / fuel station.

get a ps3, u will love it
as for ur xbox that happened to me and my brother said; hahahahahahaha

 

[Bloody Crimson]

If you've got a PS2, A GameCube, a Wii, a PS3, a DS or a PSP you should be okay. That or make a free account on Runescape, it should keep you entertained for at least a month if you get into it.

Drop gaming for a while and work on your education. That's what I did. Course. by the time it gets back, you'll be practically be in a state gaming deprived insanity.
Cheers.

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.

 

[wells02]

i always go back to my original xbox or nintendo 64. Both are still in great working condition.

just go back to an original console if you NEED to game.

or go outside

 

[MONSTERheart]

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.

 

[NattyMichael]

a bloody game boy with pokemon xD

 

[p3t3r]

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

get a ps3. never breaks, never overheats, free online.

lulz wasn't there just a huge breakage of ps3's

maybe go play some badminton
