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

xbox-coffin-1.jpg

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.

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.

All that lamenting for nothing....pshhh seems like a waste...err...glad ur Alive GW!!!

GW is in the house, you dip-shit rednecks.

Haha! Welcome to Sunny Southern Cali GW!

The real GW is in an Xbox 360 coffin.

It's an omen GW...come back to the East coast.

As to the accident...

Hope you're ok GW!

Welcome to Earth!... er, uh, I mean, Welcome to California Beezy.

I'm sorry to hear you got in an accident, I hope you're okay.

why is there a condom symbol on the coffin?

Sorry to hear you died GW, but now you've arisen all glittery as shit. Appropriate post for one whose been to hell and back.

Hope you gave as well as you got with the uhaul bang-up. What'd you do, hit a silicone police car?

What? An M1 Abrams?

Did you get mugged, knifed, shot and/or gang raped while waiting for the police?

Sorry to hear about your troubles GW!

Welcome to LA....home of the skyrocketed Car insurance!

Dang you got into an accident? Welcome to LA, I hope the other people were ok.

@15: It's called a typo, and it's "your", not "you're".

Lawyered.

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!!

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...

Why would you throw away the controller too?!

@ GW

I TOLD you to stay away from my sister, see bad things happen.

I had a Uhaul a few weeks back and declined their insurance... Totally spent that $15 on beer and candy bars!! Wooohooo!!

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. ;)

What was the accident GW?

What other person can not be posting for like 12 hours and people think he's dead?

...

@24 Exactly... WTF?!! Thank you.

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.

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.

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!


Did anyone realize that you're not supposed to send the controller? That guy probably isnt getting his controller back lol.

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.

GW! You're awesome. Go fuck

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...:(

GW arrives in LA and LA has earthquake... coincidence?

Slackin' here, GW.

i'd hate to see what the OTHER guy's xbox looks like! hehehheheeeeeeeeeeee

sweet rip to bad it died. but i got 2 so u no what? cause i sure dont know. otherwise welcome to cali their are alot or surprises out here. Try to ride a faggio (mo-ped) or motorcycle our traffic is very heavy. have fun gettin drunk because cops dont give a shit about you out here.

GHEY FAGGOT NERDS.

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.

@ 43-45
UR GHEY! NO ONE GOES TO UR WEBSITEZ

I red ring once a month.

I suspect a giant yellow spider had something to do with this 'accident'.

Its really GW's zombie posting now...... just sayin

@ 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!

I should've used this when I sent mine in for the recall.

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."

Sorry....

"... online play."

@ 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.

@57 PS3 is better than Xbox....just sayin

GW, you should come to the midwest, it's safer, I promise.

Granted the tractors don't go rogue...

Haha so you were the cause of that back up?lol oh and yeah to bad you missed the earthquake

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.

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?

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.

I work on hollywood blvd. should have called me.
