and so it is

Pictures say it best. Here are pictures of my new xbox 360 hard-drive. The mysterious bits on the chrome outer layer are glue and paper-towel fragments. The sticky residue was left by the “protective tape” adhered to the chrome. You can see the solvent chosen to remove it but it was largely ineffective and I didn’t have any lighter fluid.

If we needed any further proof that microsoft hates us and doesn’t want us to buy (or have access to) their products, this is it. Now my new Xbox is guaranteed to attract high-calibre dust-bunnies and have the extra edge to collect them!

with flash, snacks and bottle cap. (update: Boondoggler says this looked like I was getting ready to do lines of coke off of it. I don’t know what that means)

the cleaning solution. Note the small bottle of Kahlua in the background. Perfect for a white russian!
