Livo Posted December 3, 2003 that's worth of another topic, but it does not suck at stopping bullets ;) http://www.gamespot.com/all/news/news_6084935.html Xbox deflects real bullets Irate Marylander shoots his roommates' console, but the 9mm round fails to penetrate its casing. When called to investigate a shooting last Friday night, police in Anne Arundel County, Maryland found an unlikely culprit--an Xbox. The Baltimore Sun reports that 34-year old Robert Preston Kersey had grown enraged by his roommates constantly playing their Xbox at high volume. According to the police report, Kersey emerged from his bedroom at 2 a.m. brandishing an automatic pistol. Rather than shoot his roommates, Kersey took aim at the offending Xbox and fired a single shot at the console. While the bullet's impact disabled the Xbox, its thick plastic casing deflected the 9mm round, which ricocheted away harmlessly. Other than the Xbox, no injuries resulted from the incident. Kersey was later booked on two counts of reckless endangerment and one count of destruction of property. 0 Share this post Link to post

Remilia Scarlet Posted December 3, 2003 heh, and I have an extra one lying around. Maybe I should make a bullet-proof XBox vest. Then swing the controller around like a mace or something. 0 Share this post Link to post

That's certainly no bad idea, but it has to be modified a bit - armies could outfit their soldiers with game consoles to fight their counterparts in a deathmatch :-P Yes siree... 0 Share this post Link to post
Gokuma Posted December 3, 2003 X-Box is only cool if you mod it, but I don't recommend trying to mod a system you want to use on X-Box Live (you, your serial key, your X-Box, your everything will get permanently banned). Find a crackhead looking to unload his system for $30. 0 Share this post Link to post

Sephiroth Posted December 5, 2003 i must say it is rather well built, but hell nothing like that. must have been a shit bullet or bad angle. i have seen cardboard change a bullet's coarse. i was first getting a PS2 but found i hated it after a month of use. so i reluctantly bought an X-box, i was like man this thing is gonna suck. well it hasnt so far. and it is afairly well built system, compared to whats out now. the bad PS2 too weak and shoty electronics game cube, too many kids games Xbox a bit big and not much room for upgrades the good PS2, plays PS games and has a large library gamecube, better games are out and upgrades (and price) X-box, hard drive, netwroking and many games 0 Share this post Link to post
