till the end of this year there will be 10M XBox360...................
are there so many polar bear?

Suerte · Jun 18, 2006

What have the polar bears done for me recently anyway?

Alex Anderson · Jun 18, 2006

If you can't stand the heat, get yo ass out the kitchen

squatingyeti · Jun 18, 2006

Well it's kinda funny that in standby the PS2 eats up as much as a 360. Baby polar bear am dead. Also, if that's a problem with 360, wait till the PS3. Ice caps will melt.

Y2Kev · Jun 18, 2006

Could someone explain to me the annual cost?

How much would it cost, for example, to run the 360 for an hour?

goldenpp72 · Jun 18, 2006

This can't be accurate, I leave my 360 on practically 24/7 and my power bill is hardly different.

165W? My good deed for the year will be not buying one of those.

TOY!

(thread of the year)

kisakiproject · Jun 18, 2006

You know Polars Bear will hunt you down from miles away and are on of the most vicious killers in the animal kingdom. Seriosuly they eat people. Everytime you buy a 360 and kill a polar bear you make Steven Colbert happy.

Kittonwy · Jun 18, 2006

So are you saying the ghosts of polar bears are responsible for the red ring of death?

ant1532 · Jun 18, 2006

erikevrhrd · Jun 18, 2006

Every time you use a PS3, which uses considerably more power then X360, a small 3rd world city will lose power.

Chittagong · Jun 18, 2006

Polar bears... energy bricks... energy leakage... force fields... magnetism... HEY WAIT A MINUTE!

2.5 cents

Oh. That's nothing.

Although it does heat my room slightly.

You lost me on that one. I don't get it

Papi · Jun 18, 2006

Oh bears... you just wanna pat them. Until they eat you.

neptunes · Jun 18, 2006

I wish there was an easier way to turn off the 360 from stand by.

JCX · Jun 18, 2006

I think Stephen Colbert would approve of this topic.

Private Hoffman · Jun 18, 2006

Save the polar bears. Buy a Wii.

GhaleonEB · Jun 18, 2006

Wow. My Oblivion sessions are killing dozens of them.

The GameCube has a standby mode? I thought when you turned it off, it was off completely?

JCBossman · Jun 18, 2006

Oblivion 360 and Me....Polar Bears am Rosebudden!

Edit: maybe NOW Macy's Fur Salon will start selling Full Length Polar Bear coats, man you could be at a Packers game in January, Naked in that and be nice and Toasty... Global Warming FTW!

kammy · Jun 18, 2006

maybe thats why x360s break down so much?

the souls of dead polar bears get their revenge!

someone input the numbes and call Walt quickly!

soul creator · Jun 18, 2006

if MS went with Intel and Nvidia again, they would've had perfect BC, but even worse power usage.

So what's it gonna be, Psychonauts and JSRF running on your 360, or trying to save polar bears? Eh? Eh?

LakeEarth · Jun 18, 2006

So how much power does it take up just being off? That light on the power bar is bright!

bill0527 · Jun 18, 2006

I must have killed at least 8-10 polar bears this weekend.

Do whatever you want to me... just please don't tell Al Gore.
