    Whereas I do like the concept, I think I would prefer to do it in real blood because they've got the color wrong. Dried blood is darker and more brown (due to oxidation).

    @OMG! Ponies!: dried blood also evaporates a bit, so it wouldn't be as effective as this is. This mod is meant to look like a bloody hand just brushed the front of your xbox, and the blood is so wet that it's dripping

    In reply to O Canada: Bungie-centric Xbox 360 Bundle Heads Up North
    something something Bacon, The Arcade Fire something, eh?

    But seriously, if they're going to toss an exclusive 360 pack to Canada, I'm surprised it's not an NHL 10 combo, since I think Canada makes up about 94% of that market.

    @nutbastard: Exactly. If 3 moons pass without a RRoD, your Xbox automatically notifies Microsoft, prompting them to ban your MAC address.

    Okay, so why did it take this long for a company to profit in this fashion from Microsoft's Epic Fuck-up of the 360?

    You'd think at the very fucking least MS would relaunch the Console with a new chassis and a better cooling system.

    Oh well, I guess they can do as they please since people still buy their stylish space heaters.
