Ba horrified. Be astonished. Be at a loss for words thinking of Morgan Webb naked.

Watch, and never think of your console the same way again.

That was painful to watch but at the same time very cool.

...Weird... The question remains however as to wether the Xbox could in fact still work, had not the impact of the fall loosened the control panel.

Oh, and the question of why this was done, as it has resulted in the wrecking of three game systems.

Wrecking two game console systems.

The Gamecube still worked.

It just turned on. It didn't play anything...

What good is a console that turns on if it doesn't play games?

Now that would be the test.

You can't put a disk in there, the disk will break and get jammed in the mechanisms.

True, but you could hook up an external reader as the base hardware still seems functional. Although, if you're gonna go dropping your consoles from heights and battering them with lead and sand... you really don't deserve to have it repaired.

No..no.. I don't mean put a disk in and then drop it. Drop the machines, hook them up to the tv and then pop the disk in to see if it runs. Don't just connect power and turn the machine on.

Just because it starts up doesn't mean it'll play anything.

And if the machine starts up and can't play disks, then it might as well not start up at all for all the good it does.

I wish I could afford to destroy three gaming systems...
