I remember when the games were $5 and $10 each.....at this rate we'll be paying $50 for a xbla games in a couple years.

You're supposed to throw the exploding capacitors like hand grenades.

I totally agree....make it kind of "fallout" looking.

Even the EchoStar Tru2Way box looks like ancient technology.

Why to the Tru2Way STBs look like they're illegal cable descramblers from the 80s?

What a failure....having to copy the game to sys memory before loading will suck. Some of those WiiWare games are huge, can't imagine waiting 5+ minutes for it to copy every time I want to play a game.

Don't you find it odd that they come pack in lots of protective foam....heck my Dell Mini 9 only had a few layers of cardboard protecting it.

There is a simple solution, cancel his account, give back all the money he ever paid, take back his iPhone and never let him on AT&T's network again. Also give a heads up to Verizon, Sprint & TMobile about him being a "problem" customer.

When I got the RROD after 2 years of owning my original 360, I called the customer service number, the automated prompt said to push 1 if I had 3 red rings on around the power button, it then prompted for the serial numbers, it asked to verify my address on file, I confirmed the address, then it said a RMA has been opened and a shipping box, postage paid, would show up in 3-5 days. The very next day I had a box delivered to my door, I shipped it back that day and 2 days later I had a replacement w/ free XBL card....in all I was missing my 360 for about 4 days due to RROD so I can't complain.

Here are the steps to repeat what this guy probably did:

1. Brick your Wii in a mod'ing experiment gone horribly wrong.
2. Pour gasoline on Wii.
3. Set fire to it and watch it melt.
4. Claim your house burnt down.
5. Get new Wii from Nintendo.
