What Happens When You Drop Your 360

I’m still in shock. All I know is that I may be really unlucky after what just happened, or just regularly unlucky. I don’t know yet because I haven’t encountered any severe problems with my Xbox 360 console after accidentally knocking it off a 1m high table while playing FIFA World Cup.

The first thing I thought was “NO! NO! I HAVE TO GO BACK IN TIME!“. Unfortunately I don’t have that power so the second thing that came into my mind was something like “What’s that weird sound?“. Apparently that sound was the disc reader making a thick hole/scratch across my disc:

I knew that game was lost because it just crashed every time I started it up, and I should just call EA about it and get a new copy or something, until I saw my faceplate. As you can see the bottom pretty much broke and the slot for USB cables doesn’t fit anymore. I instantly ordered two new faceplates after that (the cheap and probably crappy ones from Joytech), with the money that was supposed to go to my iPod fund (yes, I don’t have an iPod).

Please pray for me that I won’t have any more problems with my console than this! I love my 360 and I don’t want to lose it! Have any of you had near-death 360 experiences? Be sure to tell us about them in the comments!
