no....No...NOOOOO

Red eye of DOOM D:

Oh that had better not happen when I pick up my copy today.

dont buy the elite, buy the legendary or the normal :P

Got legendary. ;)

then no problem there, as the only defective dvd holder was in the elite version

Well...not really apparently.
I got the 'core/normal' version and so did a few of my friends. All but one of us have had ours die of the feared Red Ring O' Death.

I dont mean the x-box dude.. I mean THE GAME HALO
theres news around everywhere how they screwed in the ELITE version...
the DVD holder isnt good.

Wow...I must have been out of it when I read those comments then.

Sorry about that...

Ah, I long for the days of cartridges, where the surface could be scratched and the game would not be affected.

Just give the cart a quick blow job and all was right with the Universe

lol, exactly

That would be the ultimate torture.

lol glad to have you among the living my friend, just picked up mine today. :D (hugs)

This was like when I was doing Dead Rising's nonstop mode and. power went out. and then. ROD.

Did this happen to you? Im not surprised if it did to some people...wow...


Mine works <3

naw it never happened to me. but my friend whos 360 just showed the ROD before Halo 3 launched. then i hear the game disc is scratched ontop of that

in other news. my dreamcast still works after more than a decade...

word!

I still want halo 3 though XD gunna ask fer it for my bday

As does my MegaCD (SegaCD in USA) from like... 1993!. Still works like it's fresh out of the box. :]
Sega always did make the best hardware =p

Nintendo too in my book. The Dreamcast was the first sega system I owned and as much as I loved it - I could not believe how little it was appreciated. Though now I'm trying to track down Dreamcast games and not current gen games. X3

The Legendary Editions of Halo 3 are all coming out scratched; I traded mine TWICE today, got an even worst tin then the fantastic one I started with, and the games and the bonus discs all have marks on 'em...

*sigh* I wish I had just kept the original I had, and taken it into to get buffed at Game Crazy instead...*grumps*

...as for teh red light of death, that happened with the LE of Bioshock....horrible, bad Microsoft, BAD.

Poor fella :( I'm sorry

sucks 4 u ;)

lol M$

*psst* It's three red lights that mean the thing died on you ;)

Great little comic here!

Got my copy, unscratched and all!

Now I just need a 360 :3

I'm not a Halo fan, but yeah, I've heard of the scratched disk, and of course, the red rings of death, its one reason I'm off on buying a 360.

That's just the xBox's way of laughing in your face for falling for such an overhyped and over rated franchise!

Halo sucks.

Though, the RRoD sucks.

I shall never be corrupted by games !

i knwo one tha tsaid the same and now is obsessed over 1 game

du du du!!! red ring of death!!

Good thing I hate FPS games entirely and lack 400$ to blow. I laugh at all the people buying the halo xbox edition.. What a giant green turd.

Wait another year and see all the systems and games drop down to 250$ and 30$ a piece. If it happened with the ps2, it can happen again. ... Unless they just keep replacing the harddrives with bigger ones.. What a cheap copout..

well, look at the brightside: M$ increased their warranties.

lol, ROD? Not familiar D:
And I've heard of that happening to folks, how sad after you wait so long and then drop the cash they want for it. :/
I love the expressions in this comic though, your so proficient with them. ;)

so close yet so far

I was truly gifted by the gods. My copy was dislodged, but NOT SCRATCHED! Wewt.

And the odd part is I find Halo to be a very very boring FPS. ??O_O??

But then again it's for the console. I know nothing about consoles. I was born with a keyboard in my grasp.

That's why there is the saying "patience is a virtue". All these people lining up to be first make me laugh. They're just basically beta testers for the rest of the patient people!

Of course one fun thing to do with all these goods now is to steal the magnets off them and stick them on your friends so they set off alarms in all the stores X3

*Offers titties and corn* moar comics please sir :3

Hahaha Thats soo mean...but i wanna try that now *grabs some magnests and sticks them on your tatas!*

*boobs get magnetized to your chest* Now what mister, I'm stuck... >:3

I can assure you I'm up to no good... X3

Hahaha, poor fella. xD

Well i thot i got it at one time the entier machine went hiwire and videos and readon start bugg like hell.

I tell you the heart stoped on me.

beside discs not be in the package is not new happend on xbox games allerady seem teh one package dont botehr and jstu tos the disc in teh box for i got a game with so deep scratches you could loose a needle in em.
And resendlty i got darkness that was same issue gladly not scratched.

The Limited Edition box is faulty. My game was the same way. Fortunately everything works, but I was pretty miffed when I opened it.

And yes I was a loser in one of those lines TT~TT

Ha, my friend bought the limited edition from Wal-Mart yesterday. Yup, dislodged disc and scratches and all. He was so pissed he's thinking of trying to return it. Luckily there was like, no one at the Wal-Mart last night, so we just waltzed right in and bought it.

epic...
I lold so hard.

I'm just going to smile and enjoy while I go beat Lair and Heavenly Sword again...


...and then try not to let my soul get sucked out by Disgaea 1, 2, Makai Kingdom, and Phantom Brave. >_<

o: wasn't ROD when the lower right quarter of the ring was off?

yeah...im too lazy to change it though

x3 it's awrite. The message gets thru.

Reminds me of a journal I read in the past few days, recommending that people open their copies in the store to make sure they weren't scratched up.

Ah well, at least Microsoft increased warranty length. I heard that there are a lot of faulty Wiis that show graphical corruption when you push the graphics to the max (high-end games, what everything will be in 6 months) and if you don't notice it until then, yer screwed because your warranty is ex-pi-red D:

Once again, Microsoft fails.

Thank god I don't want to touch a 360 with a 50 foot pole...

Wow... my 360 redring'd, but when I took the fan off the back it magically lived again. And I beat Halo 3. it was awesome, but short :c

and thats why Halo 3 is the best game ever AM I RIGHT?!?!!? >:D

Microsoft does it again! D:

I'm thinking on getting a 360... but hell, I'm not even that much into halo =P
I'm more into Halo's soundtrack than the actual game, even thou it IS a good game, it doesn't get me as other games do... Too much pop vibe makes me hype too much and I end up loosing interest.

jeeze! why does everyone have such bad luck with their microsoft products except me!? >.< my pooters, and my 360 are fine, and halo 3 works spectacularly for me as well o.o;;

Hopefully not personal experience?

Wow. Reminds me of a story I head way back when Zelda 64 came out. Some kid got it for christmas and opened the package only to find a bar of soap in the place of the game in the never-opened-box. Talk about a spirit breaker. :b

LOL I feel a bit sorry for those who stayed up for the midnight launch. Of course, I didn't play fair, I had the game since Friday >.>

Y'know, that actually happened to me.

Seriously! I'm not kidding!

Though, my 360 tends to have this tendency to occasionally flash the red ring and go, "HAY IM NOT WORKIN LOL"

For some reason, all I have to do is turn it off, then back on again a few times.

I was laughing my ass off when it happened the first time. I knew I could get it replaced for free, due to warranties and blah blah blah, and Halo 3 wasn't an earthshattering event for me, so I was okay with it. :D

Luckily, it wasn't the big one, though! I got to play for a few hours, then went to sleep. Then played s'more today.

Damn armors. need to unlock them...

lucky my ass to cheap to buy the limited edition, and stuck with just getting the game itself. all thought i would like to own that sweet Master chief Face case.

I rented mine copy. (don't know if the rental stored packaged LE Halo 3) At first it said it was unreadable 'possibly scratched or dirty' The disc looked brand new. Played for a few hours before it froze up (and during a damn plot twist) and then it kept saying unreadable each time I tried to start the disc again. Now, for some reason, the console freezes during the start-up animation. No red lights and I can't get to desktop. This is the second time that it will be sent to be replaced.

At least shipping and everthing is free. Also, I think MS is offering to replace the bad Limited Edition discs. Good Customer Support, unreliable hardware.

Truely Microsofts calling card.

~N~

It wouldn't be Microsoft if they didn't find some epic way to screw up.

Now, I don't really have xbox 360, but if that was me, I would had gone totally bananas! è.é

Wonderful illustrating comic wuffie ^^ The face expressions are NOM!

http://www.escapistmagazine.com/art.....onsole-Rundown

Dag..... that sucks..... But, I must admit, I don't know why people camped for that game..... from what I hear (besides the trapped cases of doom), the game looks pretty much the same as the second one really.....

My disc was scratched too, but the Software Etc. (Gamestop) I was at for midnight launch was enough to have us check first and replace the game disc on the spot if it was.
BTW, you forgot to plug your AV cables into your Xbox! (Three is RROD, four is missing AV)

XD

I call it a HEX-BOX 666 for a reason. And this is it. That and the way it "rings" your games with it's shitty lazer lense holder.

Thanks god I already got my copy, and I don't even have a 360 yet thank god.

XD

Those lulz are EPIC! I'm sure that happened to more than a few of the fanbois that got Halo 3 at launch.

I wonder if MS put something in that game that makes whoever plays it turn into a complete asshole? My roommates (both furs) got it at launch and they weren't even playing it for three hours before I noticed the mood swings and obsessive behavior...and all this because I had the nerve to ask about one of the main characters. WTF?!?

Also, I vowed never to play that cursed game, but I ended up doing so just before departing for MFF last week thanks to my mate. It's not a half-bad game and there were sequences that I particularly enjoyed, but it wasn't anything worthy of such an obsession. I'll stick to my Rainbow Six and Forza Motorsport 2 for now.

I got the normal version though my roomie got the elite version I think (comes with the retarded helmet you can't wear?) both our coppies work just fine so we lucked out, and halo 3 has turned me into an acheivement whore :D the reason I got the xbox360 actually..

Your expressions are perfect! body language too. Im so impressed~
