Originally Posted by ZiKrOnIx, Xbox.com Ok, So monday I was involved in a Hit and run Car accident. My truck rolled 3 or 4 times. During the course of the rolling my xbox 360 Premium was thrown out of the vehicle. I didnt get knocked out and Im alive. When I got out of the vehicle I saw my beloved 360 and harddrive not to mention some of my games strewn along the road with other items of mine. I walked over and picked up the 360. Face plate not to be found. 360 had a tire mark on it. It had been ran over. Along with one of my wireless controllers and my remote and power brick. The power brick was ran over but shows no signs of damage. The games were ran over. Saints row and prey might be salvagable. The 360 Got ran over it was squished. one of the metal supports on the side was bent. And when I picked it up the case fell off. I straigtened the metal side and put the case back together and turned it on. It fired up and went to the dash I poped in a game and it read. Played for a little bit then watched a dvd. looks good to me.
This is really a testament to the 360. Granted it wont hold faceplates any more and its got a tire mark on it. It also has a chip missing from the chrome bezel. but it works...No I had the extended waranty from Microsoft but at this point in time I will probably buy an aftermarket case or an oem one if I can find it.
On a Side note I walked away with a bruised elbow | Here's the pics:     
Who said 360's Break Easily? being run over and thrown from a truck? I'd Say thats a Tonka fucking tough machine!
Here's the Link

Wow, I swear I'm cursed on T360F, for every time I want to make a new thread, it's already been made before. Please don't give me that "Use the search button" jazz, because I always do it. Bleh...
I thought this was pretty amazing, though. | |

Haha, I remember being told when they first came out that whjen its on its side, do not put any weight on it as it is not made to support weight.
Looks like the Xbox isnt the toughest box out there anymore. | |
