    same shit happened to me back when I got GTA IV. Gotta love it, lol

  2. FoxyMayo on September 17th, 2010 6:57 pm

    That should teach you to NOT buy Halo.

  3. MrRaccoon on September 17th, 2010 7:02 pm

    Is it or did the X-Box just take an auto-security measure?
    *is ready to get mauled by Halo fans*

  4. MajorMantis on September 17th, 2010 7:03 pm

    That xbox has has probably been abused with halo games in it's childhood.

  5. KamikazeGible on September 17th, 2010 7:09 pm

    Can't let you play that, Xbox!

  6. Mr Plen on September 17th, 2010 7:12 pm

    360: "Oh what a lovely day, I wonder what new games my owner shall bring from the store on this joyous day."
    *sees Halo Reach*
    "NO NOT AGAIN! THE EXTENDED PLAY TIMES! THE HARDWARE ABUSE! THE HEEAAAT! FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-"
    *Red ring*

  7. CapnJakeBob on September 17th, 2010 7:18 pm

    In terms of finding proof that 360s have sentience, that's really reaching.

  8. shonen413 on September 17th, 2010 7:18 pm

    fake. the case is a fake. its not green, and no way he bought it used. fake.

  9. Onecanofsprite on September 17th, 2010 7:18 pm

    Looks to me like the Xbox…
    *sunglasses*
    Is the one with the Halo.
    AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
    THE FANBOYS!!!

  10. CrackLawliet on September 17th, 2010 7:18 pm

    Um…Is it just me or is the Halo: Reach box black??

  11. ArmyOfMidgets on September 17th, 2010 7:20 pm

    *counts people on game cover* Looks like the 360 got…

    *shades*

    An Overkill.

    YEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!

  12. DavidTheWise on September 17th, 2010 7:20 pm

    That should teach them not to buy an xbox 360 period.

  13. smashpro1 on September 17th, 2010 7:21 pm

    The 360 Slim cannot Red Ring. *smug as fuck*

  14. CapnJakeBob on September 17th, 2010 7:22 pm

    It's funny. Don't apply realism to the picture, it just messes it up.

  15. PewnyPL on September 17th, 2010 7:24 pm

    Ahhhhhh, the RRoD. I dunno if they fixed that issue in that slim X360, but I do know that this one eats DVDs!

  16. Ataeru on September 17th, 2010 7:24 pm

    That should teach you to not buy an old 360, and buy a 360 elite or 360 slim.
    *looks at 360 Elite*
    My 360 Elite still works a perfect as ever.
    *grin*

  17. Fission on September 17th, 2010 7:26 pm

    Racist.

  18. Guppy06 on September 17th, 2010 7:31 pm

    They went with a single red dot to cut costs.

  19. clownx on September 17th, 2010 7:32 pm

    It's the Limited/Legendary Edition. I had the same thing with my copy of Halo 3.

  20. TCC on September 17th, 2010 7:43 pm

    this is why i'm a PC gamer…. now I've just gotta get the cash for game itself… >>

  21. dope92 on September 17th, 2010 7:46 pm

    not only is it a RRoD

    its a 3 ring RRoD

    rel="nofollow">this'll make things a little better

  22. KamikazeGible on September 17th, 2010 7:56 pm

    It's representing which Pokemon game the developers wiill buy.

  23. FlareonWuver15 on September 17th, 2010 8:01 pm

    This happened to me yesterday.

  24. Histomen on September 17th, 2010 8:30 pm

    Maybe the 360 noticed it was being endorsed by Justin Beiber and committed suicide?

  25. Gamage on September 17th, 2010 8:36 pm

    That should teach you to get an extended warranty…

  26. Gamage on September 17th, 2010 8:40 pm

    It just goes to show, halo will always cause rage.

  27. GameboyPATH on September 17th, 2010 8:42 pm

    CASPAAAAAAAH!!!!! D:<

  28. Linkman15 on September 17th, 2010 8:54 pm

    Who knew that a Xbox would do that at the perfect time?
    Everyone actually.

  29. Nick Soapdish on September 17th, 2010 8:59 pm

    It looks like playing Halo
    *RROD*
    Is just out of Reach
    FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU…….

  30. Rocker23220 on September 17th, 2010 9:01 pm

    LMFAO, thats EXACTLY what I first thought of when I saw this.

    +1 for you.

    And +1 for Nostalgia Critic, wherever he may be.

  31. fmarulz on September 17th, 2010 9:01 pm

    all the Halo has already a warning within the title, just look at the O in Halo with a microscope and it says "may cause" followed by the dreaded ring.

  32. Leo E. on September 17th, 2010 9:02 pm

    Some editions came in black boxes.
    Think before you speak.

  33. Dr. Furry on September 17th, 2010 9:05 pm

    its just halo reach, as much as xbox sucks, he's not missing out

  34. Axel_X on September 17th, 2010 9:05 pm
  35. Dr. Furry on September 17th, 2010 9:06 pm

    you sure you're a pc gamer? i ahvnt payed fora game in forever

  36. Axel_X on September 17th, 2010 9:19 pm

    You should have X-pected this from the beginning. It was out of your Reach.
    (lame comment I know)

  37. Tifakitteh on September 17th, 2010 10:01 pm

    The funny thing is that, actually, the game crashes at random points on certain Xbox 360s. For no apparent reason. My coworker and at least 3 persons called today to complain that Halo Reach's Campaign would crash at some point on their Xbox. While others have no problems at all.

    You'd think they'd test for that stuff before releasing the game.

  38. GameboyPATH on September 17th, 2010 10:37 pm

    Also, +1 for getting your answer to the comment question of the day chosen. :P

  39. darkdan1100 on September 17th, 2010 10:43 pm

    So a 360 is a living thing? Just like Sheila and Andy?!

  40. XxGiroxX on September 17th, 2010 10:48 pm

    i commend you for this Superb comment +1
    *nods head*

  41. meinmattias on September 17th, 2010 10:54 pm

    Halo. Has a nice ring to it. XBox. Has a nice red ring to it.

  42. vatonnage on September 17th, 2010 10:58 pm

    I didn't know Wolf had a part time job as an Xbox 360…

  43. Marzen on September 17th, 2010 11:17 pm

    FAKE AND GAY

  44. Marzen on September 17th, 2010 11:17 pm

    Y'know, I was gonna post a "I hate Halo" post, but considering how this place IS called Halolz…

  45. Marik_Ishtar on September 17th, 2010 11:40 pm

    AHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Excellent! The first stage of my evil plan has begun! Soon everyone else with a copy of Halo: Reach will also feel the wrath of my Millennium Red Ring!

    Now to move on to that new Call Of Duty game…

  46. CorasG on September 17th, 2010 11:58 pm

    Hell, I've had my old pro model for years, no trouble with it at all.

  47. AuraMaster on September 18th, 2010 12:17 am

    GRAMMAR HAMMER!

    *paid

  48. AuraMaster on September 18th, 2010 12:20 am

    The Gaming God is a cruel and unmerciful one.

  49. Roflcopter419 on September 18th, 2010 12:39 am

    If it happens to that many people you'd wonder how they missed it.

  50. Roflcopter419 on September 18th, 2010 12:41 am

    Go right ahead. CoD can die for all I care and the rage of the mainstream fanboys will amuse me.

  51. Link4all on September 18th, 2010 12:45 am

    Fact: Some used games come in to Gamestop 1 day after they're released.

  52. Ataeru on September 18th, 2010 12:46 am

    NOOOOOO!!!
    *Installs Reach*
    Ha! I found a hole in your plan!

    as for that COD game, You know its also on the PS3 right? how will you sabotage it?

  53. Link4all on September 18th, 2010 12:48 am

    Halo, in my Halolz? It's more likely than…Wait a minute.

  54. Marik_Ishtar on September 18th, 2010 12:58 am

    The same way I caused all of them to fail on the same day binky boy!

  55. died70 on September 18th, 2010 1:08 am

    Sooooo it's sentience is
    *puts on sunglasses*
    reaching.
    YYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHhh

  56. died70 on September 18th, 2010 1:19 am

    Ummmm I wanted to do a Nope joke about this but i am currently unaware of any neck the xbox may or may not have.

  57. MoG on September 18th, 2010 1:32 am

    Guess i should tell my friend who got the 360 bundle with reach that his game isn't Real.

  58. MasterLuigi452 on September 18th, 2010 1:36 am

    It looks like that 360 hates Halo so much.

  59. MoG on September 18th, 2010 1:37 am

    Has anyone noticed Microsoft Has this thing with the words " Of Death" I mean theres the Blue screen "OF DEATH" And the Red Ring "OF DEATH"… i kinda wanna see what they'll make next, and what color they'll orientate it with

  60. MoG on September 18th, 2010 1:39 am

    BLUE SCREEN OF DEEAAAATHHHH
    -restart-
    FIXED :D

  61. DM1293 on September 18th, 2010 1:51 am

    CASPAAAAAAAAH YOU SHALL NOT TAKE THESE PEOPLE *Crosses the streams*

  62. Hejiru on September 18th, 2010 1:56 am

    Could be worse. He could've dropped a line piece on his house.

  63. DM1293 on September 18th, 2010 2:03 am

    Remember the days when the BSOD was the running joke? Those were the good old days. A simpler time, when flash animations were king and flash games were amusement for kids, not stay-at-home bored people who wanted to grind bejeweled.

    …whats that? Relevance to pic? I dunno, I was trying to reach out to people.

  64. Arb on September 18th, 2010 2:09 am

    So much for finishing the fight……

  65. Ataeru on September 18th, 2010 2:14 am

    Very nice.
    oh and why are you calling me binky boy? I for one despise c*** of duty and all of those fanboy kids that play it. I look forward to seeing the reaction on their faces.

  66. Roflcopter419 on September 18th, 2010 2:28 am

    Cock of Duty: Modern Gayfuck Stupid.

    Yeah, I can't wait to see the look on their faces. They deserve it for trying to force me to play that shitty game.

  67. Tael on September 18th, 2010 2:54 am

    What are you talking about? I thought this site was named TF2lolz…

  68. Annonith on September 18th, 2010 2:54 am

    They'll start making movies and you will be able to see the greenscreen of death.

  69. Tael on September 18th, 2010 2:55 am

    I thought he was helping by stopping people playing Halo…

  70. Tael on September 18th, 2010 2:57 am

    COD: Black Operation of Death

  71. Tael on September 18th, 2010 2:58 am

    Testing? In modern Games?
    Its WAY less likely than you think!

  72. Tael on September 18th, 2010 2:59 am

    You forgot ahvnt (Haven't) and fora (for a)

  73. Tael on September 18th, 2010 3:01 am

    I HATE HALO!
    MAN UP AND SAY IT WITH ME!

  74. Tael on September 18th, 2010 3:02 am

    'I was trying to REACH out to people'
    I see what you did there….

  75. Tael on September 18th, 2010 3:03 am

    *friends game dematerializes before his eyes*
    FFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU….

  76. Zyquux on September 18th, 2010 3:33 am

    OBJECTION!
    That's a Killtacular (if only counting the vehicles)!

  77. MoG on September 18th, 2010 3:43 am

    A Problem has been detected Within HALOLZ and will shutdown to prevent damage to the Site.

    The Problem seems to be caused by Lack of BSOD puns.

    I C WAT U DID THAR!!!1!

  83. darkdan1100 on September 18th, 2010 10:30 am

    You shouldn't call it a monster… It will eat your games!

  84. BurnoutSpartan on September 18th, 2010 11:53 am

    I got E71 when I got Reach, Fixed in a few hours but still pissed me off

  85. Link4all on September 18th, 2010 12:18 pm

    Dun wury. Its k.

  86. XxGiroxX on September 18th, 2010 1:26 pm

    And what about the period?

  87. KamikazeGible on September 18th, 2010 1:45 pm

    It started as a typo, but when I noticed it, I decided to leave it as a clever Nintendo pun. Thus, it is both.

  88. Husher_D316 on September 18th, 2010 2:00 pm

    actually the only reason it cant get the red rings is because it physically DOESNT HAVE red rings in the consol…but i still want one sooo bad

  89. FrEEz on September 18th, 2010 2:31 pm

    LONG LIVE TF2!

    Those who say that valve is ruining TF2 as an FPS with every update can SUCK IT.

  90. Spartan_Laser on September 18th, 2010 4:33 pm

    Incidentally, I've had two RRoDs, and I was comped two FREE consoles by microsoft!

  91. jpurdue on September 18th, 2010 5:46 pm

    this is not a used game it is the display case for the game from gamestop before it came out pay attention and xbox 360 elite is the best never had problems

  92. Daifuku on September 18th, 2010 6:22 pm

    There is only Zuul.

  93. shadow649 on September 18th, 2010 8:22 pm

    It changes. At one point it was called advice(fail)lolz, at another point it was called brawlolz and at some point in time it was known as STEVE!

  94. shadow649 on September 18th, 2010 8:25 pm

    That would make the RGB complete! Then they make a TV series with Quattron technology! Imagine being able to see yellow on a TV that your retinas perceive as being a different color because they can only see red green and blue!

  95. Tael on September 18th, 2010 8:41 pm

    You can take a pill for that.

  96. DCMN on September 19th, 2010 7:14 am

    If this had happened to me, I'd of probably murdered someone.

  97. HeavyDDR99 on September 19th, 2010 11:33 am

    one line speaks to me whenever I see light yagami

    "F*CK You Matsuda!"

  98. M4DD4WG on September 19th, 2010 7:56 pm

    Microsoft doesn't test its products anymore. It releases them, has people find all the bugs and sells a "new" product with all the bugs fixed under a different name.

    *cough*vista*cough*windows7*cough*

  99. M4DD4WG on September 19th, 2010 8:06 pm

    Can't let you play on that X-Box.

  100. TheRedGrunt on September 19th, 2010 8:17 pm

    Win

  101. TheRedGrunt on September 19th, 2010 8:21 pm
