Mar 16 2010RIP Beloved Console, Friend: XBox 360 Coffin

So I got in an accident this morning ON MY WAY TO RETURN THE F***ING UHAUL TRAILER. 2,100 miles and the pooch gets screwed in the last ten blocks. Story of my life. And not the fun kind your mommy reads to you before bed. These are custom XBox 360 coffins for when your beloved system red rings.
The Xbox 360 though amazing in performance has one big glitch, the hardware is just not reliable enough with the official warranty providers saying that the failure rate is about 23.7%; and these problems have finally taken their toll on Alexis Vanamois (An Australian Designer) who went ahead and created a coffin design to send off the Xbox with dignity.
Dignity? I was crying on the side of Hollywood Blvd at 9:30 this morning. Just kidding, I never cried. But I did step in a soiled diaper on the sidewalk while waiting for the cops. Happy day!
Hit the jump for a bunch more shots.




Xbox 360 died? Send it off in style with the RROD coffin accessory! [pcworld]

See, this to me is silly. When my 360 does I don't give it a proper burial. I whack the hell out of it in the backyard, Office Space styles.

@15: It's called a typo, and it's "your", not "you're".
Lawyered.
22. JFreezy - March 16, 2010 6:08 PM
Bummer GW man! Too bad you just missed an earthquake! We had one in LA at 4:04am PST today! You almost had your earthquake cherry popped!!
23. L - March 16, 2010 6:13 PM
Stompy: "god, i'd rather live in the northern midwest than the tropic east cost,.... "
Tropic east "cost" (hahhhha) try telling that to folks living in vermont or maine.
keep sipping the single malt and keep trying...
24. tomorrows party - March 16, 2010 6:24 PM
Why would you throw away the controller too?!
25. Jaded Icon - March 16, 2010 6:26 PM
@ GW
I TOLD you to stay away from my sister, see bad things happen.
26. Jzzzzames - March 16, 2010 6:27 PM
I had a Uhaul a few weeks back and declined their insurance... Totally spent that $15 on beer and candy bars!! Wooohooo!!
27. suomynonA - March 16, 2010 6:54 PM
the 360 has a 3 year warranty if it has the 3 rings or e74 code. i recently got the e74 code on my xbox, so i sent it to microsoft, they paid for both shipping and the cost to repair was free too. i didnt have to pay anything, just had to wait. works like a charm again, and got a free 1month code.
And i recently won (on the same day i got the xbox back) the Legion Download & Win game from the xbox. (Download pictures or whatever and instantly entered into the contest to win) and won 17,600 microsoft points. ;)
28. David Escorcia - March 16, 2010 7:02 PM
What was the accident GW?
29. Johnny Q - March 16, 2010 7:05 PM
What other person can not be posting for like 12 hours and people think he's dead?
30. Rude - March 16, 2010 7:07 PM
...
@24 Exactly... WTF?!! Thank you.
31. monster - March 16, 2010 7:20 PM
This article seriously confused me for awhile, I thought GW was saying he broke his Xbox in an accident whilst returning the trailer and they gave him a coffin for it.
Then I actually read it front to top instead of skimming thru it and it made sense but wasn't as cool anymore.
32. Adamasterisk - March 16, 2010 7:39 PM
Haha. Welcome to L.A. dude, I work right down the road from where you probably got hit. Word of advice while driving here: Drive Aggressively. Hell, get a bazooka and some shotguns while you are at it. L.A. drivers can't drive for shit. I'm from Alaska and man, that is where you can learn some crazy driving.
33. Dishy D (fossil) - March 16, 2010 7:39 PM
OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG!!!!!
GW has not posted anything in, like, 2 HOURS, and I"m just CERTAIN he's 100% totally screaming bloody DEAD (again)!!
The NEWS internet site says it's HIT and RUN! He was HIT by a METEOR while RUNNING away from his OFFICE MATES! Don't you GET IT you PEOPLE! He's EXTINCT! He's pushing up DAISY! He's no MOAR! He's pining for the FJORDS!
34. John - March 16, 2010 7:41 PM
Did anyone realize that you're not supposed to send the controller? That guy probably isnt getting his controller back lol.
35. Dishy D - March 16, 2010 7:44 PM
ps. Good luck apt hunting today GW.
Don't know if you've noticed yet, but the traffic in LA is sometimes a little heavy.
36. Face - March 16, 2010 8:01 PM
GW! You're awesome. Go fuck
37. Righteousjoana - March 16, 2010 8:15 PM
That blows! (The accident part) and I guess the precentage rate of 360's breaking also. But hey atleast you didn't get into an accident midway or have your car blown up. Not that I would know how that feels...:(
38. Thomas - March 16, 2010 9:00 PM
GW arrives in LA and LA has earthquake... coincidence?
39. lainz - March 16, 2010 10:06 PM
Slackin' here, GW.

42. GORDON "FÜCKING" SHUMWAY - March 17, 2010 12:11 AM
GHEY FAGGOT NERDS.
43. enigma - March 17, 2010 2:40 AM
Oh man GW, that sucks. Well, they say most accidents happen near home, so I guess this just means you're truly home now. Awww.
44. monandkey - March 17, 2010 7:40 AM
@ 43-45
UR GHEY! NO ONE GOES TO UR WEBSITEZ
45. atheistgirl - March 17, 2010 8:10 AM
I red ring once a month.
46. Rosalie - March 17, 2010 8:42 AM
I suspect a giant yellow spider had something to do with this 'accident'.
47. Closet Nerd - March 17, 2010 9:11 AM
Its really GW's zombie posting now...... just sayin
48. witchyone8180 - March 17, 2010 9:26 AM
@ GW - Why the Hell would you move to California on purpose? I hope that was a joke. If not... run, Run, RUN!!! Before you get addicted to Starschmuck's coffee and celebrity twat shots. Oh wait. Too late, huh?
@ 15 - You're an idiot. I could list all of things wrong with YOUR typing, but I'm not a spelling Nazi. So, I'll just say...
SHUT THE FUCK UP YOU HAIRY PALMED, HELMET WEARING IDIOT!
49. Steal This Webcomic - March 17, 2010 9:31 AM
I should've used this when I sent mine in for the recall.
50. witchyone8180 - March 17, 2010 9:32 AM
About the coffin....
Ingenious! I have found my new favorite gift for all my XBot pals that insist on saying the PS3 sucks even though they've all had to send their systems in several times or replace them. Hell, Wiitards know their systems are lame, but at least they always work. What can Xbots say? "I pay for online pay."
51. witchyone8180 - March 17, 2010 9:32 AM
Sorry....
"... online play."
52. XBOT - March 17, 2010 9:55 AM
@ 55-56 hmm cheaper, better games, online play that doesn't suck, sure its $40 a year but if you can't afford to pay that you probably shouldn't even own a game system. stop trying to defend the PS3 and stop insulting the WII that rice powered jerk-off simulator beat both Xbox And PS3 in sales.
53. Closet Nerd - March 17, 2010 10:02 AM
@57 PS3 is better than Xbox....just sayin
54. I've got a crush on the GW - March 17, 2010 10:08 AM
GW, you should come to the midwest, it's safer, I promise.
Granted the tractors don't go rogue...
55. Joseph - March 17, 2010 10:33 AM
Haha so you were the cause of that back up?lol oh and yeah to bad you missed the earthquake
56. Jason Jennings - March 17, 2010 12:24 PM
Hey you should have a Geekologie meet and greet. Get to know some of your new neighbors, I know I would drive about 45 min to have a beer with you.
57. Amy - March 17, 2010 1:20 PM
I'm with #62, I don't live in L.A. anymore, I'm about, oh, a thousand miles North in Seattle now. But it's an awesome area with literally hundreds of awesome shops and restaurants you just HAVE to see. And it's always best to hear it from the locals. Who better than your own neurotic fanbase?
58. how to get your ex boyfriend back - March 18, 2010 6:41 AM
Wow this looks good and safe.Before a year when i got a problem in my Xbox360,i gave it for repairing to Microsoft and they have returned it packed in a box which is also good but this box looks good and promising that your device will be safe inside this coffin.
