.KICK Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 Gold, but not solid gold Xbox 360s. These consoles still play Resident Evil 5, but you can?t buy one on eBay yet. Microsoft is giving these away as prizes for a Lunar New Year promotion. To get a chance at winning one you have to buy a brand new Xbox 360 with a 60GB hard drive or an Xbox 360 Elite between January 15 to February 15 . Sorry, Xbox 360 Arcade purchasers Microsoft only wants big spenders in this contest. After that you need to write an essay and explain why you love your Xbox. Oh, and this is the most important part, you have to live in Hong Kong. It?s the only region I?ve seen Microsoft offer this contest in, which means whoever wins a gold Xbox 360 will have a real collector?s item in their hands.

Smashing Pumpkin Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 With a crystal 360 you'd even be able to see the parts heating up and you'd know when to shut down before you RROD'd :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustGeorge Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 Thats retarded. why would you have to buy one to get one for free. Ha. Who the hell needs two of them? A spare for when your other is being sent off for repairs? Tell me its not likely..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad. Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 Definitely (Y) I still have the original Crystal Xbox as well as the standard dark green (;)) I have a crystal xbox too :p Haven't you seen the ''crystal'' cases for the 360, makes it look disgusting imo.

Brad. Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 Gotta find it funny how you can see what games inside without it even being swtiched on :p The top lid on the DVD drive has also been removed ;) I've seen some neat mods with the DVD drive lid, one which had a halo 3 logo carved into it, damn that was amazing.

spenser.d Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 Yes, cause history proves otherwise :rolleyes: The failure rate for the poorly manufactured consoles was something around 33%. It's high, but it's less than half, so by nature it's unlikely. Consoles purchased in the last year and a half or so aren't plagued by these issues like the earlier ones were. Well it all depends if you have a 3 year old console or a newer model :rolleyes: Mine is about 3 years and two weeks old and has never RROD'd. -Spenser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
