FAKE  and i would say "FULL OF FAILURE FAKE"

There is a core x360 running the game off screen.

Look the core 360 box (the green one) in his room.

The arcade- core  console has a white dvd not silver, so none of the 3 that we can see is the arcade.

 

 

Even the fail dude says he has four 360...

 

Also, the disc scraching is another fake, the dude turns off the console on the sly, we can't see the disc all the time and it sound like some pens in a box... 

But the biggest proof is that the same video is all over the internet, it hasn't been replicated, maybe they can't.

maybe we can get nightsurge to put an old cd in his drive and tilt it.

Oh, and why do you think it's so fake even though MS put a sticker right on the console front telling you not to move it? That's never been on any console before. There is obviously a problem with it, and maybe it's that the xbox is the one that's filled with pens. That seems like one of MS' typical design features XD

Haha, the disc scratching video wasn't fake at all.  That is something that can happen in pretty much every console, but happens more often on 360's because the 360 uses a tray instead of a slot loading drive like the other two.  Both other consoles state in their user manual to not move the console while a disc is spinning.

That said, this video on youtube could be easily faked.  As he said, he has 4 360's but only 3 are visible.  Also, he doesn't state that he tried any kind of trouble shooting whatsoever.  The most likely reason for the weird lines is from a loose video connection as I have had that exact same thing happen to me before and reinserting my video cable fixed it.

And even if this video is 100% real, it is not unexpected.  Every console out there has a failure rate of at least 1%, which is completely acceptable in terms of advanced electronic devices.  That means that if MS has sold at least 10,000 new systems already, there will be 100 potentially failed units either DOA errors or will fail over time.  So of that 100, chances are one will have a random issue show up sooner rather than later.  The more they sell, the more chance of someone posting a video to youtube.

It is in no way, shape, or form representative of all new 360 consoles.


He seems to know what he's doing when it comes to console problems. Like I said, with the amount of hardware and sheer fanboyism he's displaying, a loose wire cannot be the problem. He would have learned that over 20 years or so of gaming.

Yeah, I also don't think this is indicative of what the consoles will be like in the future. This guy was just unlucky.

 

Oh yeah I meant to write this before, he has 2 ps3 boxes but only one ps3 hooked up. Chances are, the other 360 is either broken, or some such similar reason.
