Xbox 360 Survives Car Wreck

Well what do you know...

An Xbox 360, along with controllers, games and a remote control were thrown from the vehicle and run over.
A user over on the Xbox
forums is reporting an amazing story of survival. On Monday, 'Zikronix' was involved in a serious accident. His truck rolled three or four times. When the accident occured, his Xbox 360, which had been sitting on one of the seats along with all his games and accessories, was thrown from the vehicle. Upon crawling from the wreck relatively unharmed, 'Zikronix' saw his beloved 360 and all his gear strewn along the road.
"I walked over and picked up the 360. Face plate not to be found. 360 had a tire mark on it. It had been run over. Saints Row and Prey might be salvagable. One of the metal supports on the side was bent. And when I picked it up the case fell off. I straightened the metal side and put the case back together and turned it on. It fired up and went to the dash. I popped in a game and it read. Played for a little bit then watched a dvd.This is really a testament to the 360. Granted it won't hold faceplates any more and it's got a tire mark on it. It also has a chip missing from the chrome bezel. But it works.On a side note I walked away with a bruised elbow."
So the new xbox is a real tough box indeed-seriously heh...
