Microsoft console survives car wreck

Forget the Wii, forget the PlayStation 3 get an Xbox 360! Apparently, if North Korea decides to launch the atomic bomb, the only things left standing will be cockroaches and Xbox 360s. Or at least, it can survive a car wreck.

An Xbox 360 owner, called Zikronix, posted on a forum his highway adventure involving his crashed car and an Xbox 360. He reveals that he was involved in a serious car accident (a hit and run that is). His truck was side-wiped and rolled over several times. I'm telling you this because apparently, he had on the passenger seat an Xbox 360.

After the car stopped rolling, he came out of the car unharmed and guessed what was the first thing that he did. If you said, checked the road for his Xbox 360, you were right! In true gamer style, he went in search of his console and found it to be a little damaged. He picked up the pieces, went home hoping and praying for the Xbox to function. He plugged it in and surprise, surprise, it works!

So, from this point of view, the Xbox 360 seems much, much better than the Wii or the PlayStation 3. Actually, the PS3 was called "cheap plastic cr*ap" by 1up.cpm editors. I'd like to see the PS3 survive a car wreck.
