Comments on ‘Xbox 360 'eaten' by alligator’Friday 16th May 2008 14:22 GMT A title is required?Lupus • Friday 16th May 2008 14:26 GMT
I'm actually somewhat inspired to mod mine into a Necronomicon... if I didn't think it'd overheat and RROD. Soft and bulbousAshley Pomeroy • Friday 16th May 2008 14:27 GMT
So you press an eye to turn it on? An alligator's eye? Yuck. I'd give it about an hour...Scott • Friday 16th May 2008 14:35 GMT
...before the RROD (or in this case, the REOD) popped up due to overheating. Good grief...thefutureboy • Friday 16th May 2008 14:47 GMT
"Hopefully game and film discs won’t be eaten by razor sharp teeth when you open the tray though… " That's really funny. I think I may never stop laughing. Did you steal that line from Newsround or something? RRODDaniel Bennett • Friday 16th May 2008 14:51 GMT
Yes, Because THATS going to fix overheating issues.... Re: I'd give it about an hourAnton Ivanov • Friday 16th May 2008 15:08 GMT
That is probably the goal in the first place. It will make it look realistic. In fact it will be a proper work of art (just try to imagine the eye-button shining with a nice red ring). This story fails to deliverpunks unite • Friday 16th May 2008 15:09 GMT
I was expecting Aligators+someones house+ American Redneck = Friday hilarity type thing Shame on you reg, shame on you *walks away muttering and shaking head* Why?Neil • Friday 16th May 2008 15:25 GMT
Why is this news? I painted my daughter's bedroom the other week. Surely that's just as much of a newsworthy story. To all those who think it would overheat ...Nik Hill • Friday 16th May 2008 15:30 GMT
... try to remember that alligators are cold-blooded animals, so it's probably a very effective cooling measure. I've only one thing to say...PunkTiger • Friday 16th May 2008 17:44 GMT
What a croc. (I'm surprised no one else had said it.) If you look...Robert Heffernan • Friday 16th May 2008 23:45 GMT
If you look at the pictures, the ventilation holes in the console are not obstructed so the machine will still vent the heat the same as any unmodded machine. Mines the one with the hood, facemask and 'House of Kolor' logo @ MarkIan • Saturday 17th May 2008 00:28 GMT
"the tech inside is as old as the dinosaurs.." Too right, and just like an alligator it still eats more modern, less capable things alive, like say, the PS3. Hooray!Anonymous Coward • Saturday 17th May 2008 07:45 GMT
Mark's made his insecure PS3 owner comment of the day! That's nothingGeoff Mackenzie • Saturday 17th May 2008 14:47 GMT
I modded my alligator to look like an Xbox 360. @GeoffAnonymous Coward • Sunday 18th May 2008 00:18 GMT
Pretty impressive! Make log: Blow smoke in its eyes for the "red ring" effect, sand it down, paint it white. Install small piezoelectric speakers in /near its ears. Set up control electroniccy stuff so that the left and right speakers would fire in response to the right and left motion of the analogue stick. Possibly two sets of piezeos- so one set would be in front of and the other behind the ear- to give some sort of forwards/backwards control too. Anyone got a pet they'd want to try this out on? @IanMark • Monday 19th May 2008 09:20 GMT
Less Capable? PS3 is vastly more capable than the ex-box360... You only have to look at GTA IV to see that. Whilst the PS3 version is better, it's still crippled by the 360's limitations... Ever wondered about the startup on the PS3 version with the semi-static pictures, where no HDD access lights are flashing. Yep, you can thank the 360 version for that, and the common codebase, and fear of upsetting Microsoft for that one... @ Punks uniteJamie • Monday 19th May 2008 10:42 GMT
I have to agree, I was expecting a tale of how a alligator came in someones trailer and ate the X-Box, was even invisioning the slang and accent. It would not be the first, worked with Comcast and a lady could not get online. Asked what lights were on on the modem and she could not answer. Asked her to follow the ethernet cable to the box and tell me what the light configuration was. She then stated that her sons snake had eaten the modem. Nuff said. @MarkMrM • Monday 19th May 2008 12:40 GMT
You are a complete and total Tool! Can i have a "Hear Hear"? @MarkAnonymous Coward • Monday 19th May 2008 13:58 GMT
YAWN YAWN AND DOUBLE YAWN!!! You don't give up do you? @MrM HEAR HEARRRRRRR!!!! Mark, prove your comments, stop throwing out Sony fanboy crap. I have to ask..Mark • Tuesday 20th May 2008 10:10 GMT
DO Xbox owners actually have any education AT ALL? First we have an AC using "Queue" instead of "Cue", and now we have "Hear Hear" instead of "Here Here". Now I always figured Xbox owners must be slightly wrong in the head, for buying such a horribly overpriced console with such last-gen unreliable tech, but it seems we now have proof of this.. @Mark - AgainMrM • Tuesday 20th May 2008 12:27 GMT
Oh you are quite the boffin aren't you! Unfortunately Wikipedia seems to disagree with you: Hear hear is an expression that originated as hear ye, or hear him, usually repeated. This imperative was used to call attention to a speaker's words, and naturally developed the sense of a broad expression of favour. This is how it is still used today, although one can always vary one's tone to express different sentiments; the Oxford English Dictionary noted around the turn of the century that the phrase is now the regular form of cheering in the House of Commons, and expresses, according to intonation, admiration, acquiescence, indignation, derision, etc. It is often incorrectly spelled "here here". Not that I am being pedantic! @MarkAnonymous Coward • Tuesday 20th May 2008 14:29 GMT
It seems the tables turned upon you there! Nice find MrM! Mark, do you not realise that you yourself are the one who bought such a horribly overpriced console, with mostly unnecessary technology and the worst lineup of games in the history of videogaming?
