Mate & xbox - wind up idea's

[R2D2]

My mate comes in home from work every day and plays on his xbox, sometimes stopping for food and a swig of beer. However two weeks ago it got the ring of death and was sent off for repairs. It's just been sent back but he doesnt know yet, I could be nice and just let him know but where's the fun in that?? Any idea's on what I can do??

[dwaynepipe]

take it out the box and replace it with something, a cat for example.

[krallicious]

Somehow make it display the ring of death when he next switched it on?

[Spartan luke]

what you could do is send him a box with a picture of an xbox and a note to say thanks for the free xbox you have been scamed. Or just dont give it him for a while make him sweat for it

Replace it with an etchasketch

or poo in the box

Smash it to pieces and put it back in the box. Enjoy the resultant angry phone call to Microsoft customer services?

Open it and pour Orangina on the circuitry. Put it back together and enjoy the moment in a few months when the acidic drink renders it inoperable?

Sleep with his girlfriend?

[Justayellowbadge]

Don't give it to him.

He won't be able to console himself.

If you don't plug to power unit in correctly it comes up with RROD.

ETA: Might be better in the computer games forum as it'll get better replies.

Go down to cash converters. Buy an old version One xBox (should get one for £20). Put it in the box his 360 came in. Watch his face as he opens box (preferablly film it and put it on youtube).

[WorAl]

take it to grainger games or some such like and sell it to them, take him out for a drink then when he doesnt get it back in a few weeks he will be on the phone playing holy hell with microsoft, record that and put it on youtube. have a good laugh, he will get a replacement eventually and you will have scored for £100+ then tell him in a few months later what happened.....make sure before this point to set up the camcorder and record him kicking your head in - post to youtube so we an all laugh.

[f13ldy]

Go down Gamestation buy an old Xbox for £20 or so.

Replace the 360 with the old version.

Or replace with a PS3. Oh the hilarity.

If the video output cable is not quite inserted right it will do the ring off death. You could do that as soon as he's set it up?

st in the box, throw a smelly kipper in, Seal up - viola





Ahh the Glory will be on you tonight sir!

A perfect occasion for an Annoy-a-tron: http://www.thinkgeek.com/gadgets/electronic/8c52/

Take the fuse out the plug?

[chunkymonkey71]

Sellotape a picture of a fat persons rectum, all covered in piles on it.

Then it will have the "ring of death" again...

[Eddh]

You could stick a post-it note on it saying 'Sorry m8 unable 2 fix'.

st in the box.

Masterbate on it.

Infect the box with 'teh ghey' and turn him into a gayer?

[M@T.R]

Plug it in whilst he's out, fill it up with gay porn pictures, change his background to gayers etc. Then put it back in the box and wait for him to start it up. If he doesnt notice straight away you cant wait untill he has mates around then suggest you look through his pics!
