An Xbox 360, known for it's fragility standing still, survived being driven over with car(s) and not only does the optical drive still work, but the loading mechanism is unaffected.

If the PS3 was about to get run over, it would just have the car explode using its magical powers.]]>Nov 17th 2006 12:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/17/xbox-360-survives-multi-roll-car-crash-keeps-churning/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/17/xbox-360-survives-multi-roll-car-crash-keeps-churning/
Since they are the ones making the claim, it's up to them to prove it's validity.

I know the first thing I'd do after being in a car accident is to smash my $400 console, destroy a few games and peripherals.]]>Nov 17th 2006 11:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/17/xbox-360-survives-multi-roll-car-crash-keeps-churning/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/17/xbox-360-survives-multi-roll-car-crash-keeps-churning/
When the 360 booted up, did you say "Wii"?

...

hello?

is this thing on?

Glad to hear the guy's okay!]]>Nov 17th 2006 11:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/17/xbox-360-survives-multi-roll-car-crash-keeps-churning/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/17/xbox-360-survives-multi-roll-car-crash-keeps-churning/
I'm suprised, but I think it is feasible. I expected the red ring of death on mine, and while it didn't get ran over, it certainly got shook to hell and back. ]]>Nov 17th 2006 11:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/17/xbox-360-survives-multi-roll-car-crash-keeps-churning/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/17/xbox-360-survives-multi-roll-car-crash-keeps-churning/Those surely are some photographs of some damaged goods.

However, this person is claiming that his 360 was run over not by just one, but by multiple cars and is still functional.

My issue is solely with that claim and nothing else.

I say let's take it to the Mythbusters, loser buys the first round.

Frantically, on his way home, he called me up asking me if i could fix it for him. Not knowing the extent of the damage, i said, let me look at it.

The console was bent to hell, but the innards weren't too damaged. The dvd drive was a bit bent, but I took it apart and straigntened that back out. Now he's got his 360, hard drive and all (the fan broke, so it overheats sometimes), plugged into his TV, with just the motherboard and dvd drive sitting there!!!]]>Nov 17th 2006 12:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/17/xbox-360-survives-multi-roll-car-crash-keeps-churning/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/17/xbox-360-survives-multi-roll-car-crash-keeps-churning/Nov 17th 2006 12:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/17/xbox-360-survives-multi-roll-car-crash-keeps-churning/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/17/xbox-360-survives-multi-roll-car-crash-keeps-churning/
Quite cool anyways, buy that shell is shot to hell. he would be smart not to move it around much.]]>Nov 17th 2006 12:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/17/xbox-360-survives-multi-roll-car-crash-keeps-churning/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/17/xbox-360-survives-multi-roll-car-crash-keeps-churning/Nov 17th 2006 12:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/17/xbox-360-survives-multi-roll-car-crash-keeps-churning/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/17/xbox-360-survives-multi-roll-car-crash-keeps-churning/You have to remember also, a cars weight is evenly distributed to the 4 tires (made of flexible rubber btw), so if your under one tire you will only feel 1/4 the total weight of the car and only for a brief moment depending how fast the car is going. This is why getting your foot ran over rarely ever hurts.]]>Nov 17th 2006 12:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/17/xbox-360-survives-multi-roll-car-crash-keeps-churning/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/17/xbox-360-survives-multi-roll-car-crash-keeps-churning/Step 2: ???
Step 3: Profit!

Enough with the conspiracy theories already... what does this guy have to gain from a hoax like this?

I'm inclined either way, I play because it's fun. Not to impress other people. My current love, though, is Call of Duty 3 on 360.]]>Nov 17th 2006 5:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/17/xbox-360-survives-multi-roll-car-crash-keeps-churning/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/17/xbox-360-survives-multi-roll-car-crash-keeps-churning/

Still does 3 months later!



...rofl, how did you drop that shit into the pool?



strider, you're an idiot. Note the victim's original comments on xbox-scene.com, "360 had a tire mark on it. It had been ran over."
He didn't say it was ran over multiple times. And fact is, with the speed of the vehicle that ran over it - it wouldn't have added too much pressure even if applying 1/4th the vehicles weight; simply because it was on and off the 360 so quick. There wouldn't have been any impact pressure because the wheels of the car spin forward, thus making the car go over the xbox and not merely flinging it out of the way.

Thanks for playing, move along.]]>Nov 17th 2006 9:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/17/xbox-360-survives-multi-roll-car-crash-keeps-churning/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/17/xbox-360-survives-multi-roll-car-crash-keeps-churning/Nov 18th 2006 12:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/17/xbox-360-survives-multi-roll-car-crash-keeps-churning/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/17/xbox-360-survives-multi-roll-car-crash-keeps-churning/Nov 18th 2006 3:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/17/xbox-360-survives-multi-roll-car-crash-keeps-churning/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/17/xbox-360-survives-multi-roll-car-crash-keeps-churning/Nov 18th 2006 10:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/17/xbox-360-survives-multi-roll-car-crash-keeps-churning/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/17/xbox-360-survives-multi-roll-car-crash-keeps-churning/
