  • Amerijapoxicano, on 02/25/2008, -21/+39Good one. I LOLouded. See? Microsoft is an evil corporation. Keep the baby away else it be eaten by that baby-eating machine.
    • doshindude, on 02/25/2008, -13/+4No, it's the PS3 that eats babies, the Xbox gives you brain trauma if it falls on your head.
    • JulyZerg, on 02/25/2008, -11/+4M$ is evil...
      • NeoOfTheSith, on 02/26/2008, -2/+2Most corporations are.
        • ZigVicious, on 02/26/2008, -6/+3Not Google!
          • JulyZerg, on 02/26/2008, -6/+0I'd love to work at google. And by M$, i didn't mean xboxs. I meant their... vista... evil... abomination... I'm keeping my xp, tyvm
          • spyrochaete, on 02/26/2008, -0/+4Google is just as evil as any other company, and they're really not all that fantastic to work for either. Their #1 employer status has given way to SAP and and they're going downhill. Just because you have onsite laundry and free food, doesn't mean they don't expect you to spend 3/4 of your waking life there (and most of the last 1/4 working from home). Google life is for recent graduates who lived on residence and have no family.
    • tcpip4lyfe, on 02/26/2008, -4/+11Why is it an evil corporation again? For making computers easy to use for people like my mom? Or is it because its CEO gives billions of dollars to charity?
      • popfrogs, on 02/26/2008, -8/+3Because it stifles competition, gets sued on every continent, dilutes quality by rushing to market with low quality goods, ad infinitum.
        • cawpin, on 02/26/2008, -1/+3"gets sued on every continent" You forgot to end your sentence. They got sued on ***** charges. They've done some pretty mean things, but nothing illegal.
  • mrfreeziexp, on 02/25/2008, -6/+52Your baby looks just like you, Cheapy, just... shorter.
  • HarassmentPanda, on 02/25/2008, -20/+8Really funny and Tai is just adorable. Even when your 360 is broken you make videos about it instead of your PS3--fan boy!! ::rolleyes:: Keep up the good work!
  • Del129, on 02/25/2008, -5/+40Someday Cheapy, we won't be apart of the "16%". I'm on my third 360.
    • AntBing, on 02/26/2008, -8/+10That's why I never bought a first one.
      • dawpa2000, on 02/26/2008, -1/+1AntBing, way to be lazy.
        • AntBing, on 02/26/2008, -0/+2Laziness has nothing to do with it. I refuse to support any company that chooses to make a quick buck rather than sell a quality product. If Microsoft had designed the Xbox360 correctly to begin with these heating problems would be non-existent and the console would be great, but they rushed the 360 out to market and are paying for it in repair costs and lost sales.
    • doublebummer, on 02/26/2008, -1/+3Just sent my 3rd one to Texas. Should have the 4th one next week.
    • fallenone05, on 02/26/2008, -2/+1I'm on my first and it's awfully quiet too...oh wait mine says "Playstation 3" on it!
  • oyouno, on 02/25/2008, -13/+11hahahahaha great vid cheapyd.
  • blackhole82, on 02/25/2008, -22/+3I'm still on my first 360, but I did have to send it in to get repaired for a RROD.
    • Del129, on 02/25/2008, -4/+40technically thats your second because they don't repair it, they just replace it.
    • banmaster, on 02/25/2008, -3/+3Yep. They recondition other returned 360s (and probably replace the casing with a new one) then ship them back out to the poor sods who've had the RRODs.
  • CursorTN, on 02/25/2008, -7/+12Isn't that your second dead 360 Cheapy? I guess your wife will be dealing with Xbox customer service for you soon. It MUST be a bajillion times better then the service you get here in the States through 1-800-4MY-XBOX. There's my idea for a segment on the CAGcast. By the way, I'm on my 3rd 360 just like Del 129.
  • Alphateam, on 02/25/2008, -10/+1Read them this story.
    http://gizmodo.com/342499/microsofts-brainwashing- ...
  • BillyCutter, on 02/25/2008, -7/+5Great video! :D
  • chris9902, on 02/25/2008, -1/+127I'm pretty sure I play that baby every night in COD4.
    • graemee, on 02/26/2008, -0/+8Owns you too. sigh
    • awm4, on 02/26/2008, -0/+4Mine died a couple weeks ago. I cried too.

      Has anyone else had to call Microsoft multiple times to get them to send a box? I had to call the three ***** times before they finally sent me a box to ship it back to them in. The second and third times I called the rep. said that an repair order had not been submitted yet. Oooo I could have choked the ***** out of that little Indian on the phone. What do you mean NO ORDER has been submitted yet? This is the third damn time I have called I already have two ref #s.

      Typically I would just deal but I am going to have my first child in a month and know that this will be the last bit of xbox that I get to play for a long time.
    • linuxpenguin, on 02/26/2008, -1/+3No, this one is crying after the Xbox broke. On Live they cry while unfortunately for you, their Xbox still works.
  • CrudeDarkness, on 02/25/2008, -6/+32I'm on my 4th xbox right now. Anybody have it worse?
    • ElAssoWipo, on 02/25/2008, -4/+22I got you beat by one. 4 RROD, 3 in the first year. I got the Falcon now so I'm crossing my fingers. One of them was even RROD out of the box.
    • snyperr2s, on 02/26/2008, -6/+8im on my 8th 360 :( my 3rd died the night gears of war released.I got so fed up i just went out and got a halo 3 xbox 360 when it released, haven't had any issues since
      • DeathJux, on 02/26/2008, -5/+7Um, what? You're on your 8th 360... but you bought a new one after your third died, and you haven't had problems since? Three dead + one new = four total... where are the other four?
        • magicaltrevor, on 02/26/2008, -2/+8I think he meant that he *eventually* got fed up, on like his 7th RROD, rather than his 3rd.
      • veotho, on 02/26/2008, -2/+2Um, what? snyperr said he's on his 8th, meaning the halo3 box is his 8th.
      • wellyuk, on 02/26/2008, -2/+1Yeah! Explain yourself soldier!
    • captoftheworld, on 02/26/2008, -10/+5Im on my 9000th...
    • HiKevinRose, on 02/26/2008, -1/+10I'm on my first. :)
      • kjk437, on 02/26/2008, -0/+5Me too. :)
      • BlackStorm, on 02/26/2008, -0/+3I'm on my second. My first I sold because I bought the Halo 3 edition one. Never had an RROD though. Debating if I really want one or not so I don't feel left out of Microsoft taking everything from me and putting me though phone service hell. =/
    • Thorpe, on 02/26/2008, -3/+13I've lost count. Honest.
  • unicronband, on 02/25/2008, -7/+10Good night sweet prince.
  • theaceoffire, on 02/25/2008, -9/+27Am I the only one who felt like the baby was asking for attention?
    Thought process: Hey, hes crying again... LETS MAKE A MOVIE!
    • Takuro, on 02/26/2008, -8/+5Cheapy, go take care of your child. Call me crazy, but I think he/she is a little more important than a red ring of death.

      Since as a baby I was forced to wear dumb shirts in my crib, I feel for the kid. Parents who pull this ***** should get locked up.
    • darlyn, on 02/26/2008, -1/+1You know, he could've simply provoked the baby.
      • Ciebergasm, on 02/26/2008, -0/+3Thought process: Hey, he's finally quite... let's wake and make him cry... AND MAKE A MOVIE!
      • linuxpenguin, on 02/26/2008, -1/+1And this is better? Digg is a weird site. . . people get PISSED about a brother provoking his younger brother and post all sorts of things about bad parenting. . . but a baby crying? That's hilarious!
    • s0nicfreak, on 02/26/2008, -1/+1The baby might really be crying because the 360 broke. My daughter loves to watch me play games, while she holds a controller and thinks she's playing, and cries when I switch it off.
  • GrumpyTroll, on 02/25/2008, -21/+5Here's a hint: don't buy ***** Microsoft products if you don't want to make your kids cry.
    • theaceoffire, on 02/25/2008, -9/+12Or a better hint: Don't harass babies to fuel a fan war.
      Parent should be punched.
  • smoger, on 02/25/2008, -7/+6poor Tai.. the kids gonna grow up scarred .. lol
    • banmaster, on 02/25/2008, -2/+2Nah, that only happens when those heavy PS3 consoles fall off their shelves and onto the heads of kiddies.
      • popfrogs, on 02/26/2008, -2/+4How are the PS3's going to fall off the shelf? By people tripping over the cords - oh wait, it's wireless. A true puzzle.
      • smoger, on 02/26/2008, -1/+1..scarred as in emotionally.. from growing up with Cheapy as a dad :)
  • jtbndy, on 02/25/2008, -19/+99Pretty sure that kids crying not because of the RROD on your 360, but from you putting ***** headphones on his head, putting a gay ass t-shirt on him, and throwing a controller 1/2 the size of him, on his lap..... all the while video taping him for YouTube.
    • tedjar, on 02/25/2008, -5/+30Don't forget shoving a video camera in his face.
    • NeverSage, on 02/26/2008, -2/+8I thought that t-shirt was funny...
    • Chazx, on 02/26/2008, -5/+6The headphones were just resting on him, the t-shirt didnt make a damn bit of difference to the kid, the controller is hardly half the size of him, and it's not on his lap it's resting against his leg. The video camera is only metaphorically being "shoved" in his face, not physically, and again this makes no difference to him.
    • frygar, on 02/26/2008, -5/+1Butthurt: Only on Xbox 360!
  • Jaliyl, on 02/25/2008, -27/+1LMAO, PS3 FTW! This RRoD music video is almost as funny, though a bit old.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHg5SJYRHA0
  • reeds101, on 02/25/2008, -4/+25Ok so you get your kid to cry, stick your broken Xbox next to him, and videotape the poor kid.
    • chumba, on 02/25/2008, -1/+9That was my first thought. I know it's supposed to be funny, but the poor baby looks mortified that there's all this crap on his head.
  • lordenlil, on 02/25/2008, -5/+40Dugg for the t-shirt. And for putting your baby through that for our enjoyment.
  • mannymix03, on 02/25/2008, -9/+4I think I win the competition
    1st 360: RRoD
    2nd 360: RRod
    3rd 360: Video out and then didnt start up (on the same day that i recieved the replacement 360 from my 2nd RRoD)
    4th 360: Good so far, noisy though
    • banmaster, on 02/25/2008, -3/+5Well for starters you could try running it AFTER taking it out of the box.
  • LloydBentsen, on 02/25/2008, -5/+8Dugg for Mozart's Requiem
    • tcpip4lyfe, on 02/26/2008, -1/+2Bad ass symphony.
      • DannyDaWriter, on 02/26/2008, -0/+1It's not a symphony.

        But yes, dugg for Mozart's Requiem (K626) as well.
  • aockey, on 02/25/2008, -5/+5I sent mine in for the RRoD. It was supposed to be sent back to me on 1/29/08 according to MS. Turns out, they lost my 360. They keep giving me the run around now telling me to call back in 3-5 days for an update. VERY frustrating. I hope it turns out better for you.
    • elliotys, on 02/25/2008, -0/+4The funny thing, is when I sent mine in (disc drive malfunction), they just sent me a new one. Considering you had to remove your hard drive, they should stop looking for yours, and send you a new one.
      • aockey, on 02/25/2008, -1/+2I actually suggested that too. They told me they weren't permitted to do that since mine was repaired and they were "looking for it". I'm pretty sure I'm screwed.
  • elliotys, on 02/25/2008, -3/+9I wonder how many achievement points he got for unlocking the baby?
    • Kenzan, on 02/25/2008, -2/+11The Mom gets the points I believe.
      • Vindexus, on 02/26/2008, -1/+4As long as you deal damage to it you get a portion of the experience. I believe whoever aggros gets the most though.
        • Tyrghast, on 02/26/2008, -1/+1Granted you aren't on opposite factions of course
  • VinnieDaMac, on 02/25/2008, -11/+11I can't be the only one that thought that was stupid. Buried.
  • TwoLOUD, on 02/25/2008, -15/+11That was lame. Buried.
  • chromerium, on 02/25/2008, -5/+3Don't stand em up! Lay em down. Thats the way to avoid the RRoD!
    • Cheddar79, on 02/26/2008, -1/+3Don't lay em down! Stand em up. Thats the way to avoid the RRoD!
    • popfrogs, on 02/26/2008, -2/+5Don't buy em, leave em on the shelf! Thats the way to avoid the RRoD!
  • nwoolls, on 02/25/2008, -17/+11You're an ***** of a parent for letting your baby sit there and cry while you made some dumb fanboy video. Get a grip and know your roll in your developing child's life.
    • badjoke, on 02/25/2008, -1/+11When a baby starts crying it's going to keep crying until it's done. There isn't a magic off-button.
      • fallenone05, on 02/26/2008, -1/+1Unless the baby is made by Microsoft and it red rings too...
    • piratearggghhh, on 02/25/2008, -0/+6Hey now, no need to be so judgmental. Sometimes it's ok to not come rushing to your child every time he or she cries, which conditions them to be overly dependent and manipulative.
    • centran, on 02/26/2008, -0/+5while there might be a magic off-button like picking the kid up (if you are lucky!) I have to agree with piratearggghh.
      Unless you know your baby is crying for a good reason it is not always a wise move to pick them up right away. They will learn that all they have to do is cry to get some attention.
  • harrypl0tter, on 02/25/2008, -14/+4Stupid *****......why the hell did you make this movie? Letting your young kid cry like just to make a stupid ass movie? Get a ***** life.....IMO.. I am glad this POS 360 broke so maybe you can spend more time with your kid...
  • MajorLeague, on 02/25/2008, -10/+2Called social services.
  • flashdude, on 02/25/2008, -5/+25 LOL 15 year olds giving parenting advise. If you had a kid you would understand. The Baby looks about 4 months old don't worry the Father of a 4 month old is good and used to him crying and its no biggie. Oh btw I laughed and I am a Father of 2.
    • harrypl0tter, on 02/26/2008, -12/+3ahh that's right your kid is the ***** up one that pisses his pants.
      • orca94, on 02/26/2008, -1/+5You keep complaining about bad parenting in this thread, and yet you're making fun of a 4 month old baby? Are you serious?
        • popfrogs, on 02/26/2008, -1/+4He's a ***** worthless troll. A real hole-in-the-condom child.
  • braditude101, on 02/26/2008, -5/+2PS 3rd times the charm.
  • Mrdudeperson, on 02/26/2008, -2/+0Reminds me about what happened to me when the Game Cube came out.
    • Frogee, on 02/27/2008, -0/+1Yup, I remember those damn red rings on the Gamecube.
      God damn you Nintendo.
  • camulodunum, on 02/26/2008, -1/+1Dude, I should have gotten myself on film four days ago. When a console makes a grown up like me cry even worst that that kid, then you have footage for the Oscar.
    • sum33t, on 02/27/2008, -0/+11) You're 15
      2) That's sad if a video game system makes you cry
  • orca94, on 02/26/2008, -3/+16I have a feeling that every person in here claiming this guy is a bad father has never actually been around a baby. Babies cry, it's one of several things they do, they do it often and you can't make them stop via some magic formula. It doesn't work like that, chill the 'eff out. It's a humorous video, not evidence of child abuse.
    • loper, on 02/26/2008, -1/+8yes babies cry and xboxes break.
    • neATL, on 02/27/2008, -0/+1I have a son and I'll be damn if he is used to make a stupid video on the internet. The baby is obviously not enjoying the situation he's in but this is suppose to be for fun, right? YES, I question this mans parenting skills.
  • Justden, on 02/26/2008, -0/+4Wow, nice job of Wombat doing the voice-over for the crying baby. Very believable.
  • jackflash666, on 02/26/2008, -2/+2Tragic.
    But so funny at the same time haha
  • SamPollock, on 02/26/2008, -13/+3Does anyone else here want to kill that baby?

  • lordwow, on 02/26/2008, -6/+3Since only 5% of them fail, and that's your second one to fail, you basically have a 0% chance of the next one failing, RIGHT MICROSOFT?
    • linuxpenguin, on 02/26/2008, -0/+3Is that how your dad convinced your mom to have her 3rd child?
  • uziko, on 02/26/2008, -9/+2i hate babies they are annoying
    • fallenone05, on 02/26/2008, -0/+3You were a baby too, ya know. Probably an ugly one...
  • Synthesize, on 02/26/2008, -2/+3CheapyD, don't make the same mistake again by buying another Xbox 360 that will eventually RRoD. Call M$ and get that piece of ***** replaced.

    I know how you feel, my Xbox 360 Elite got RRoD just the other day in the middle of playing Lost Odyssey.
  • ray42, on 02/26/2008, -6/+2EPIC.
  • BigglesPiP, on 02/26/2008, -5/+5In Soviet Russia, broken babies make Xbox cry.
  • chnkymnky700, on 02/26/2008, -4/+2No 360 for you!
  • Managua8Green, on 02/26/2008, -9/+4I"m glad we got the child abuse on camera....
  • crunshii, on 02/26/2008, -1/+6I bet everyone who got a RROD feels exactly like this baby.
  • trunk8, on 02/26/2008, -4/+5This was funny, I enjoyed it. To all the people screaming about how he "put his baby through this", STFU and lighten up.
  • blackhole82, on 02/26/2008, -2/+2I definitely feel the pain on this one even though I've only had one RROD.
  • xyqxyq, on 02/26/2008, -3/+3Did you ever stop to think that maybe your baby's crying caused the RRoD, instead of the other way around?
  • soupr, on 02/26/2008, -6/+1You sold your kid out hard
  • niceguydesign, on 02/26/2008, -7/+2Put down the camera and pick up your kid.
