I got my Xbox 360 from Destructoid!!!
dephect \| 1:07 PM on 08.28.2008	35 comments

Ah, finally... it arrived today. I was cussing the UPS people in IRC and the BAM the truck pulls up.

Its up and running, no RROD out of the box (phew). The only problem it does have is the USB section is broken (the flip lid) and it has a big crack there... not a problem since I can always buy a new one. (blame it on the USPS).

Anyhow.. PICTURES!

Thanks again to Destructoid, even more so Niero for making this happen.

I am off to play some Lost Odyssey ;)

Is this post awesome? Vote it up!

Mine is actually pushed in too far. Doesn't spring back out.

Anyway, why not Castle Crashers? Did you not set up your online stuff?

RROD doesn't happen until you start enjoying your Xbox. When the fun level gets too high it sets off the red lights.

Sweet! You lucky bastard!

Welcome to the dark side? red ring side?

Have fun with videogames.

Congratulations, jealousy, RROD, all that good stuff.

Yeah, Mogg, how dare you attack Hexic like that. It's a pretty good way to waste a few minutes, and it's free - what more do you want?

I'm not complaining about free stuff, even if its crappy. I was just commenting on how everyone who gets a new next-gen console and, I'm assuming at least one game with it, still always manages to find and play that piece of shit puzzle game right away. I know i did

I still play Hexic from time to time. Get Castle Crashers please. Welcome to 360 FNF :)

Yay for free stuff, now the only way you can get pissed at microsoft is if it scratches your expensive games, or if Live goes down... something you paid for anyway.

When I first got my 360, I spent a good couple hours playing Hexic HD before I even touched a real game (even though I had bought Dead Rising and Viva Pinata along with it). That shit is addicting.

Anyway, congrats on your 360! My gamertag is kaizokukitsune if you wanna be friends. :D

if its loud i guess you got a 0800 (check the box...on top of the code bar is a serial number) or less...mines a 0809 and it's quieter than a beat-up fat wife with low self-esteem.

about me
Me and my Love (besides gaming.. of course <3) . . If you have time please check out my fan club. Vice President of the DepheCt fan club is Heretic Message him with any questions you may have. I am twenty six years old, and I'm OBSESSED with soda (Coke), Poptarts (Strawberry), and video games. I live a pretty boring life at the moment, take up most of my time playing games and waiting for the new edition to the family... My wife and I are expecting our first child in July, and I couldn't be happier. I am really into all forms of music, but mainly black metal, death metal, and some grindcore. Born and raised in California, I also like some old west coast punk rock. In this blog I plan to cover all kinds of things, movie reviews, game reviews... as well as venting, ranting and my thoughts on everything. If you don't like what I have to say, move on. From time to time, when I have the goods(heh), I plan on giving away some free stuff, could be anything from a used console to a dvd. All in all, I just love DTOID and all it has to offer.
