Default MS Gives Guy Gift from RRoD Console

A guy who sent Microsoft his Xbox 360 after it got the RRoD, got it back. But with a surprise. Upon opening it, he found that they accidentally left a test disc inside which plays 1 level of PGR 3 apparently modified so that the console lags when it plays the game(more like a system killer).

That's pretty cool I guess, but what would the guy do with the disc?? Since it pushes the 360 to it's capabilities and causes it too lag...Love how the disc says confidential in the pic. Guess what MS Not Confidential Anymore!! =P. But yeah that's cool, what does RRoD mean though??? Im kind of an 360 nub..

RRoD = Red Ring of Death. Three red lights that show on the front of console when there is a hardware error/failure.

Very interesting free gift. Now we all know how they test the systems.

Oh that's what it means..kk thanks for clearing that up. The kid I was babysitting last week got the RRoD...he got mad and threw his controller at his 360.

But still what would the guy use the disc for...I mean yeah now we know how they test the 360's. But still what else could be the disc for...if I was that guy I'd sell it.

Well it is ILLEGAL, and the guy didn't do it.

Besides, it basically kills Xboxes according to him. So why would you want it?

So you can send in your console every few years and snag a new one.

From the looks of the other forum, it looks to have been uploaded somewhere.

I'd worry about MS seeing what your last game played was though.

LOL. They'd be like "WTF."

Also, it's a shame Troggy took out the pic. I guess confidential was enough to worry us. Ah well.

I wanna see this thing get uploaded. I Looked there and saw nothing about it.
