Today, in an attempt to get my son to stop playing Call of Duty, I threw his Xbox controller out the window. He was so desperate, he followed it. His bedroom is on the second floor. My son has 3 broken ribs, and no future. FML

...WOW. That's some serious addiction right there. That boy needs therapy. Seriously though OP, you don't need to go that far. You can RROD an XBox 360 just by looking at it the wrong way. I should know -- I own one. -_-

My dad doesn't know I have an xbox. He'd do the same thing hahaha. So I only play when he goes away on business trips which is regular enough anyway.

Dad threw the controller out the window, not the game console... Aren't there two controllers?

My thought pattern would have been to unplug it and take the power cord, and also the games. Then again, I seem to be one of the few teenagers who actually uses this funny gray thing between their ears as something more than a hat rack. I play a lot of games, but I do so 2 days a week: Saturday and Sunday. Makes it easier on me when I can look forward to my gaming rather than getting tired of a game. Plus, it means I get games that last a little while. Oh, and on the console debate: PC FTW! At least in a few months when games start looking better, I can just upgrade the graphics card instead of missing out or having to buy a whole new machine just to play the next best thing. I've played both the Xbox 360 and the PS3 (yeah, I know a few friends who have them, and the only way to do a proper review is to play both systems), and the PS3 seemed to have better graphics, the Xbox 360 had the better feeling controller. Xbox 360 seems to have more games based on it, but the PS3 can turn around and play the older generation games. Those not wise enough to read the original poster is a guy, well, shows how much brain you have. Zombies would pass you up in hopes of a better meal. To the OP: Throwing the controller was a little extreme, but perhaps you can right this by selling his Xbox and all his games as a way to 'pay off the medical bills', aka: a good way to punish him for stupidity.

Actually, only some of the PS3's can play older games. Sony decided it needed to be ******* stupid and remove backwards compatability because it could.

CoD is for people with no taste in gaming. I recommend any of the Fallout games, or maybe Metro 2033.

I love my xbox and would be pissed if someone did that to me. Although my game of choice is Dragon Age 2. Luckily, my parents live about a 24hr drive from me.
