Xbox 360 Towel Trick vs. CheapyD
CheapyD | 7:30 PM on 08.14.2007 20 comments


We all know about the 3 year warranty, but perhaps you have a fear of cardboard boxes. Maybe you live in Japan and have a broken USA Xbox 360 and international shipping would be cost prohibitive. This technique could keep your 360 going until the new HDMI 65nm models have saturated retail. It could also burn your house down.
Over 100,000 asses rocked on YouTube...your ass is next. Bend over!

Cheapy,

I have a friend that's living in Yamagata who had the same issue back in January. The towel did not work. It cost him $100 roughly to ship it back to me for me to send in for warranty repair.

Do you have any recommendations for a jaded traveler going back to Japan a second time? I'll be there in October. I'm also going to try and find Super Potato while in Tokyo. If you know where to go in Akiba (I didn't know there was one there), I'd appreciate it if you could point me in the right direction...

Yeah, I can buy a new core system for just over $200, which is why the $100 each way international shipping isn't worth it.

There is a super potato in Akihabara.

Yeah, he didn't have the core system option back in January.

Oh, bleh, I meant it was basically $100 bothways. I think I sent it EMS to him. It wasn't the slowboat 6 weeks shipping, but it did take about 2 weeks for him to get it back.

Thanks for the map. I found LAOX and Club Sega last time with no problems, but I didn't have time to venture back into the side streets where I see Super Potato is located... I will be very poor come November thanks to you...

Nice video. This looks about as fun + time intensive as reinstalling windows every 3 months or so. A testament to Microsoft, horray!

This worked for me. I got the 3RLOD, did the towel trick, and its been working great. Played Madden last night for 6 hours straight.
