just want to let everyone know im the first one to put a xbox360 in their 92rs tell your friends.. let the world know.. im gonna try to get a camera to post some pics

 

then why does your sig say 91 rs?

 

So basically what your saying is "I can blow 400 bucks better than the rest of you". That is an accomplishment in this company!

 

what's an x box?

 

Does it work? or did ya get lucky and get one that crashes every 15 min and burns a ring into your games I'll stick to my PC gaming thanks.

 

Let me know when the power supply burns down your car due to Microsoft cutting corners on production.

 

Is that your idea of a power adder??!!!

 

Are they melting down? first I've heard of this Reason for the big brick was to keep temps down inside the box itself, as I understand it.

 

I wouldn't be surprised of fire hazards based on:
1. Previous x-box power supply fiascos
2. The fact that the hot power supply is being attributed to the frequent crashes.


Also, I wouldn't reccomend advertising it online or to your friends since they're fetching a great deal of money online, you're basically asking to get ripped off.

 

i've seen 2750 for the 400 dollar bundle on e-bay

 

LoL so many people so upset about the xbox360 i got lucky i guess it doesnt burn any rings in, but the first time i connected to xbox live with halo it messed up and i had some weird fog and it said xbox live sign in sucked pretty bad.. but boy does that power supply get hot, never had a problem with the power supply getting that hot on the first xbox 360

 

thaTts gotta be the longest sentence i've ever seen

 

Hooked on phonics should be a game for the xbox!!

 

One of my friend's brothers codes for a gaming company and it was explained to me that the XboX360 DK was just total refuse. Apparently, Microsoft pulled...well, a Microsoft...and released a DK to the world which crashed worse & more often than Win95. Due to the fact that a lot of these companies cannot stay in business trying to play it all hard, they were forced to debug MS's product for them for free...oh, and MS told them to forward any changes they had to make to get it working. I just hate MS even more now...

As I understand it, the release version is much more stable because it's been debugged by MS's "free" debug team.

 

hey thats cool you got one. i dont understand all the hostility but whatever.

 

yea me neither but whatever... seems like everyone has something to bitch about lately though

 

they arent getting a great deal of money anymore..if ya check out ebay you can get them for around $400 they arent selling for thousands anymore that was just before they came out and people thought they were getting a smoking deal when for $50 you could have just preordered one and had it waiting for you on the 22nd

 

Well I don't like putting stuff like this in cars, but thats cool that you did. i am sure "pimp my ride" will start tossing them into cars soon. Get pics of it running. That I wanna see.

As for all the power supply issues from the origional xbox to the new 360.... I got xbox the day it came out and have taken it to to friends houses and 3 differnt countires that I have lived in or visited over the last few years. Needless to say it has got beat on a bit and I play it constantly. With all this abuse I have never, ever had a power supply issue. Neither has anyone I know personaly. (all my best friends play xbox) I was offered a new power cord and said i do not need it and turned it down. I think people with defective stuff, 90% of the time it is the people doing something wrong being idiots.

360 kicks ***. MS is not the best company but you can't deny the success of windows in general. Stuff works, end of story

of course thats just IMHO

 

How the hell can you get by skipping. Our cars are not necessarelly the "smoothest" riding cars out there!

One or two bumps and you will be pissed.

Also, think about it. You put that console in and your firends will end up playing it while you drive. Than it turns out you bought it for your friends.
Than you would want to play it, but you wont let anyone else driver your car. SO you get in an accident while playing.
Now you dont have your car, and you 360 is messed up.
I did this with an N64 ln my car and it worked great.

I had it under the driver side rear set coushin. I took out all the padding, put down few firm pads on the floor. I put the 64 on top of it and left it on. Put the cushion back and Hooked it all up to a TV/inverter that I had. Than whenever I turn the TV on the 64 would come on and I can play games!
It was fun, but my firends ended up playing 64 wile I drove and I got pissed! Its a good thing I only spent 15bucks all toghether on the 64 and Wrestlemanina 2000!

SOmething to think about.

I took that carp out in two days after installation and sold it on e-bay.
Never again.
Now I roll with a PSP and play it whenver I want, and it does not drain my battery.

Laters.

 

I dunno about putting in an xbox, I have a hard enough time trying to find female passengers- would the xbox increase my chances of that other form of in-car entertainment?!

For serious , I'd like to see some installed pic's of this xbox, how it looks, where you mounted it, what kinda moniter are you using, etc.

edit- I thought this was the fabrication forum- call this early winter-time boredom, I wanna see some sawzall'd roofs and duct tape mods not some xbox install!

 

 

how was this thread not closed? unless you fabricated your own x-box from scratch, IM your friends to brag about your purchase. This board is getting cluttered

 

If we leave it alone and don't feed it maybe it will die!!

 

Yup this is kind of retarded in this forum, but as long as we're talking about Xbox I gotta say the original (not the 360) is probably the best console to install in a car because of the ability to mod chip it, upgrade the components, and run different software. Forget playing games, you could hook it up to your ECM to datalog in real time and display output on a flip out LCD screen (those ones people use to watch movies). That ability right there is well worth the sub $100 price for an Original Xbox, put about $100 more into it and you'll be able to do all sorts of crazy things (which also includes storing MP3's on the hard drive and Aux into your Deck to play them, no skipping there)

 

this is a third gen forum not a xbox forum...... ionly have 12 post and i know this comeon

 

I love this idea! has anyone done this to their camaro as opposed to using a laptop?

 

no but i have a xbox with a xecuter chip in it, and a 120 gb hd, if ya want to know how to do it, i could prob help u out.
