	I dont remember seeing this on here before, and its a bit out dated, but still a funny read. The Big Box Project At first, microsoft would supply you the box to send your 360 to them for repairs, then they suddenly stopped. Their policy was you supply them with the box, then they will ship it back to you in the same box. One guy, not too happy about this, decided to ship it to them in a 20 foot long shipping create. quote The Story Like many others, I have a broken xbox 360... again. This is the second time I've experienced the flashing red lights of death since purchasing the console in the late summer of 2006. The console was replaced by Microsoft upon first failure under the original 90 day product warranty. Fast forward to present day, same failure... different story. The problem isn't the console, it's the service. This time they left the door cracked just enough for me to barge in... big box in hand. [...] ME: How big is your repair center? T2: I don't see how that pertains to the situation sir. ME: Because I am going to send you my broken xbox in the biggest damn box you have ever seen. T2: Ummm... ok. ME: I'm talking huge, like Mac Truck huge. T2: Ummm... ok. ME: And you'll have to send that back right? because there is absolutely no other available cardboard for you to send it in... that's what you said right? T2: Ummm, policy would state that we have to return your box to you. ME: Great, let's set up the repair. You're getting a HUGE box. They changed their policy before he could ship them his xbox, so he never got to do it. Its still a very funny read though. ------------------- Sometimes you eat the bar, and sometimes, well, he eats you.

	Wow, I'm impressed. I kinda feel bad for the service rep. that he got. Considering he's just doing what they tell him. But this would have been hilarious. I could picture them helicoptering a huge box in and inside is few hundred pounds of packing peanuts with just a 360 inside. -------------------

	It would probably be a Simitruck. When I read it, I pictured a few people backing a Simi into the loading dock of the xbox repair center, opening up the doors, and in the very back sits an xbox 360 completely taped down. ------------------- Sometimes you eat the bar, and sometimes, well, he eats you.

	yeah it'd be a waste of helicopter fuel for just a 20 ft box. they'd use a semi truck. ------------------- Working on: Fable 2, Fallout 3, Gears of War 2
