well Trust me if you have a 360 like me you don't have to destroy it... it will do its by it self...

bought the 360 in December 2006 than last month it gave me the Ring of dead...(3 Red lights) this all took place after installing the May Patch...

But thats not every thing... if you like your games to be scratched Than buy a 360... the people of MS have 2 Diskdrives (3type is comeing Now From Liteon) you have the Samsung Drive(1st Gen) the STTC(2nd Gen) This 2nd gen is in most of the 360 but what they have done is... INSANE normaly there are rubber pats around the laser so that if the disk wobbels a bit it doesnt toutch the Laser head. But Whit out this pads it does... and thats what STTC did. so your disk can become useless after lets say 1week of normal playing (what happend to me) so now my 360 is to Germany to be repaired and iam getting some more cooling (cause they instal a extra heat sink whit heat pipe on it and iam also getting a New Disk drive from Liteon) so hope this fixxes those problems...

dont think that if you have PS3 that your are Free of flaws cause Blue-ray disk are rooting away check out this tread on the AVS forum....

and ofcourse if you have dumb friends a Wii isnt the thing to have cause the Controlers could get you or some other Friends of you in to the hospital... when Wii Nunchucks fly in the air or straight threw your HD-TV...

So the point off all of this You dont have to distroy any of them the console's will do it for you...

BTW tip for you if you like to buy a console EBAY... and let it be sent to you from the states.... saves you allot of money

it is not so easy to buy from ebay

the Federal Police of Brazil supervise all foreigner orders. So, i'll have to pay all the taxes the same way..

maybe i can save the lucre money that i would pay for a traditional vendor, if i bought here.

you the Trick to go around this (and this is whit all Ebay-store Buyings) let the Sender not Include the bill on the out side but let it be shipped as a Normal packet... by doing this you will not get taxxed (atleast in the EU)

by doing this your item will be sent as if it was a normal letter and not as an object...

i do this all the time whit parts for my car and for my Friends... buy it in the states and than ship to the netherlands... just a blanco box whit a sent and resive adress

Problem with that is if something happens to it and it gets lost in transit you wont get compensation. Best thing to do is ship it with the value but mark it as a gift since they don't tax gifts for some reason.
