Dec 21 2010Fire! Destruction! RAAAAAAAAAAAAAGE!: Slow Motion Video Of An X-Box Exploding

I sometimes wish this on my 360...

Xbox sucks balls anyway.

Omg, hugging my xbox right now, that is electronic cruelty!!!!

My xbox-360 explodes everyday... with THRILLS, EXCITEMENT, AND JOY!!!!

nah, I don't game on consoles

You know why they call it the xbox 360, dontcha?

*drum roll*

Hey cool what game is this?

I like how they focused EXCLUSIVELY on footage featuring the 360. It's got such a bad reputation for a gaming console, and yet it's the one I play more than any of the others. My PS3 I play just for exclusives (and for Blu-Ray films), and the Wii... well, my wife sure loves it for Wii Fit, Mario and Let's Dance.

People just need to let the XBox live its life in peace (as short as that life may be). Sure it's had its share of hardware problems, but as gaming consoles become closer to high-end computers and move away from their own dedicated technology (i.e. cartridges and proprietary circuitry), they are ALL bound to have more problems popping up down the line. Just about the only console manufacturer with a proven track record for near-indestructible hardware is Nintendo; most 20+-year-old NES and SNES systems are still kicking, while the current-gen consoles often need to be replaced after a single power surge.

I love how there is a regular old HD inside and yet you cant replace it w/ a 1tb or 500gb (SLAPS MICROSOFT)

Oh they must have tried to play GTA IV. Or play some form of HD video through it.

I want to see ps1 explode inside of a ps2 that explodes inside of an xbox that explodes inside of an xbox-360 that explodes inside of a wii that explodes inside of my pocket.

Can you hear my XBox laughing?

@7 lol. "move away from their own dedicated technology" "proprietary circuitry."

@* JTAG your xbox and you can even use desktop sized hard drives with it.

@12: ... and your point? The cartridge-based consoles used a lot of chipsets and internal pieces that were developed specifically and exclusively for each particular console (i.e. hyped-up bits like "Blast Processing" and the SuperFX chip), which were less powerful than real computers but more stable and affordable. Current-gen hardware shares a lot more similarities with your average PC in terms of power and capability, so it seems logical to think that they might have more difficulties with stability as comparable to modern PC's as well (particularly since you can't just pop open the hood on a console to swap out the hardware for upgraded power like you can with a PC).

Glad you found it funny, I guess.

Thats actually the disc drive, not the hard drive. Looks like a 360 Arcade to me.

"Console gaming's demise?"

...........HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

Oh you guys :'D

#15 you're right... I was going to mention the same thing but you beat me to it!

@Jonathan

I liked your rave up until that point when all of a sudden you said "proprietary circuitry" like they are the only ones who know how to build there circuits. Like you couldn't look at the PCB and see whats going on.

Your point was good your argument was good just those to words next to each other threw me off cause I don't believe you can have proprietary circuitry.

I also agree with your continued statement. But would like to add that a regular user wouldn't "(particularly since you can't just pop open the hood on a console to swap out the hardware for upgraded power like you can with a PC)" But a lot of enthusiast like myself often perform upgrades like this.

Yeah, I guess "proprietary circuitry" was probably too broad of a term to use. I was just referring to how Nintendo or Sega had hardware that was exclusively used in their consoles alone. You wouldn't find any home computer running the SuperFX chip, whereas today the consoles and PC's share many similar pieces, like brands of graphics cards and such. The fact that you could (up until recently) run Linux on a PS3 kinda drives the point home. Heck, you can even use the current-gen controllers on a PC with bluetooth.

Anywho, still. Console gaming isn't going anywhere. I'm curious to see this article and the claims they try to make on the industry's supposed "demise." That'll be good for a laugh, I'm sure.

Console gaming demise? They just created a whole new dimension for it in terms of motion tracking apps, who wrote the article, a WoW fanboy?

And funny, that's what my PS3 looks like everytime someone disconnects in the middle of a match on Black Ops

*presses replay button over and over* :D~

we need to go slower.

Should have switched the RROD on before explosion.

am I the only one who noticed that the hard drive had been removed prior to the explosion? Xbox 360 hard drives are on the top (the side if you're smart and have yours laying down instead of standing up. Standing them up blocks the main intake vent, causing red ring), you can take it off with the click of a button. they extrude a little bit and this had no extrusion on the top, and in fact has a noticeable gap where the hard drive would have been. the "Hard Drive" people are seeing here is actually the disk drive.

"Watch and be amazed. Oooooooor pissed people are blowing up X-Boxes when you don't eve have one."

LOLOLOLOL TYPO LOLOLOLOLOLOL

once again, retarded americans destroy expensive items for fun. INSTEAD OF DESTROYING AN XBOX, AN IPHONE, AN IPAD, GIVE IT AWAY! i'm sure there's plenty of people who would love to get a free iphone. or don't buy it just to shoot at it and instead donate the cash to charity, for fuck's sake.

retarded americans? thats why its a FREE country. cause we can buy whatever we want and do whatever we want with it... including blow it up! your dumb! GO AMERICA!!

Thanks for your articles.Thanks for your sharing.Hope you will allow me to post here.Thanks very much for you.Have a nice day.

@27 point proven.

This video would make James Cameron hard.

What is with the shitty video effect? I had to stop it because it's so annoying; it looks like they hired the guy who made this music video:
