I have a couple of myths:

Myth Number 1: Is it possible to "fly" like Mario from Super Mario Word with the cap? He can even do it from a few feet off the ground.

Myth Number 2: Proxcimity Mines from Golden eye, is it possible to be able to throw a "mine" on a wall, and the next person that walks by it "blows up"

Myth Number 3: You can't beat "pong" it only gets harder (the orginal)

Myth Number 4: Car Sims improve driving at excessive speeds.

Myth Number 5: Flight Sims, can help you fly a plane.


Myth Number 6: You can set off a mine Via laster "trip wire"

1. Towel Trick for the 360 does it really get fixed by over heating it even more?
2.Could a 360 explode like a hand grenade if it over heats too much?
3. Can you get fit from wii fit?
4. Is a human actually able to get 100% on Guitar Hero 3's Dragon Force Threw the Fire and the Flames on expert?
5. In halo 2 Bungie purposely Made "glitches" not easter eggs.
6. Halo 2 had few testers.
7. Music games and file make the old 360's cd drive fail faster.
8. Microsoft 360 is designed to fail when multiple games are played for an excess of 1-2 weeks in order to get more money.
9. 360 wired controllers are tougher because they don't rely on the battery pack
10. Gears of War has no story. people are saying I have played and it seems to have a story.
11. Myth Busters will invite me and my Red Ring Of death hero 360.
I have tried the towel trick and just turning it off for a minute and i am sure its the R.R.O.D.
it worked both times for me and i did the towel trick wrong.


8. Microsoft 360 is designed to fail when multiple games are played for an excess of 1-2 weeks in order to get more money.
Actually, Microsoft are loosing money on each 360 they sell, because of the technology that goes into them etc, if they sold them for a profit no one would buy then because the price would be soo insane!...
360 loss
Theres a link here somewere.. hmm...
Search for "Q010 - X-Box 360 cost to much" on this page
