X-ray pix peep into video game innards, look awesome

Check out the gallery below for all of the radiated gaming goodies, and just wonder how this guy got everything in and out of the hospital. We'd pay hard cash money for a photo of a red-ringed 360 on the way to the x-rays in a gown and wheelchair.

Does he know that radiation also messes up your system?
jonah stein @ May 2nd 2009 8:57PM
how's that?
BUGz @ May 2nd 2009 9:10PM
X-Rays use Radiation
DWells55 @ May 2nd 2009 9:22PM
While they're running it could interfere, but electronics are used to radiation - they give off radiation. That's why stuff is shielded - to keep theirs in and other radiation out.

I sense a Fallout 3 joke coming in.
why not the LS2LS7? @ May 2nd 2009 9:35PM
DWells, you don't seem to understand the difference between ionizing and non-ionizing radiation.

"difference between ionizing and non-ionizing radiation"
....And that's why I stick to video games... I can just "play" a scientist.
ArchGamer @ May 2nd 2009 8:48PM
I feel oddly dirty for taking a peek at the inner parts of the systems...
TMGE_rock @ May 2nd 2009 8:53PM
and I always thought there was a wind generator in the NES carts =(
Jake @ May 2nd 2009 8:53PM
how come there wasn't one of the 360 system?
is weird to see how some items are big but are empty in many parts
i.e the n64 looks like it could have been more compact

Just go look whats in the toilet same thing.
TMGE_rock @ May 2nd 2009 8:59PM
Just look at his flickr site for the 360 one:

Nter @ May 2nd 2009 10:25PM
Maybe he wanted to keep his 360 in working order? >_>

You wouldn't happen to be a PS3 exclusive owner, no would yeah? A.K.A complete douche.
tboy123 @ May 2nd 2009 11:05PM
@Doug
How do you assume that all PS3 exclusive owners are complete douches?
All he was saying was that there is empty space in a toilet. Though, that 'empty' space holds the water which drains into the tank.
I don't think they included the 360 X-ray because most people have taken their 360s apart to do the 'fix' for the RRoD. They KNOW what the inside looks like...
KaBob799 @ May 3rd 2009 2:17AM
@tboy
he wasn't referring to the empty space or the water
MrKlorox @ May 3rd 2009 8:51PM
@tboy123: Is that seriously how your mind works?
tboy123 @ May 4th 2009 10:30AM
...Well, excuse the hell outta me for not reading a comment on the internet about a toilet correctly. While at work, trying to bypass the internet blocker to play games...
What would I do without you guys?
Here, I will fix my comment, just for you!
"@Doug

"I don't think they included the 360 X-ray because most people have taken their 360s apart to do the 'fix' for the RRoD. They KNOW what the inside looks like..."
Then after reading Elijah's comment closer, he is talking about crap. I agree with him. Completely. I had a 360 break on me twice, then it went to Ebay. How that is acceptable is beyond me. Why people buy 2 360s just in case one needs to be sent in, is just stupid. No matter how many exclusive games the 360 has, it does NOT justify this.

"I don't think they included the 360 X-ray because most people have taken their 360s apart to do the 'fix' for the RRoD. They KNOW what the inside looks like..."
What idiot would void their warranty by taking apart their console to "fix" it when the RRoD is covered by an extended warranty? Is it the same kind that makes obtuse and uninformed comments on gaming blags?
tboy123 @ May 4th 2009 11:54AM
umm... considering most of the people I know (that have 360) have had RRoD. Only one of them actually sent it in. The other about 10, have just fixed it themselves. They did not want to go weeks without playing. So, there are people out there who 'void their warranties'. Just to not wait for repairs.
Its not the smartest choice... But... I don't have a 360, more power to them.
tboy123 @ May 4th 2009 12:02PM
and...
"Is it the same kind that makes obtuse and uninformed comments on gaming blags(blogs?)?"
umm... It was a half joke. Damn man. Calm the F down.
It is the internet. If you think MY comment is 'obtuse and uninformed' then... You do not get on the internet enough.
but, have fun thinking that you always make perfect comments.

Nifty. I like it.
WINterfang @ May 2nd 2009 9:21PM
mmm your nick means C-section in Spanish....EW.
Cesaria @ May 2nd 2009 11:42PM
Wow, someone actually got that. Most people think it's supposed to mean Cesar from Rome. Congrats, sir. Although, I cribbed it from a jumbled spelling of my full name which came out to be a cesarian nights horror port. TMI.
MariusElijah (Only on PlayStation 3) @ May 2nd 2009 9:07PM

Yeah, and because of it I will be scared for the next years.
Which leads me to my first post: I hate you. :)

this is awesome. they look so simple. someone should have done this sooner. but isn't it kinda expensive?
The_Doctor @ May 3rd 2009 5:25AM
xrays are relatively cheap nowadays. i wonder how he got away with using the machine for it in a large hospital... we wait ages for someone to do an xray at our hospital :(
j.howlett @ May 2nd 2009 9:32PM
it's strange because i've seen the actual insides of most of those without x-rays
Dave @ May 2nd 2009 9:37PM
That first Gamecube pic is so badass.

I don't understand - where's all the duct tape inside that Wii?
