This is a great idea expecially useful for gaming cafes and lounges. Although the 360 case is somewhat crackable though, overall great idea.

These specially designed steel plates attach directly to the back of your Xbox 360 and secure to the inner metal frame.
Guess you missed that part. I secures to the metal frame inside the 360. So they would have to tear it apart to get it. One costing time and also will most likely break the console.

Good grief, a brand new arcade with the console, PSU, and controller is only $200, and a lot less for used.
The thief can still steal the most expensive item on the console, which is the HDD.

I could understand something like this when they were first released at $400 each, but now?

Yeah, I was thinking if a thief came across this, he'd probably start yanking on the thing, and even if it didn't come loose, he'd probably do some damage to it. And if it didn't come loose, he'd probably smash it just out of spite.
I could see this as being somewhat useful if you're somewhere like a dorm or other environment where someone else living there might just walk off with it, though.

You're getting cost and value mixed up. I value my 360 far more than my Wii.

I'm surprised to hear that it might not be a Kensington lock slot, because it's definitely the right width, length and depth.

Actually, that's not true. If you "loose" your hdd, you should be able to put it right back on and be good to go. You're probably screwed if you lose it, though. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

Why do people keep making retarded useless shit for 360. I used to work in a bike shop where we sold crappy cheap cables like that, they take all of 3 seconds to hack through with a cheap wire cutter.
Because they still serve a purpose. Most everyone by now would agree that anything that's of value inside your car should be "out of sight". Does that mean a thief can't break into the car and steal anything? Of course not. But they gotta break in just to find out if you have anything worth stealing, so it helps deter the theft. Now, you're probably thinking "Well, if they broke into my house, what's stopping them from breaking the chain"? Only the chain, is. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
Think about it - breaking into a home is actually pretty easy to do without tools; just break a window and climb in. Usually if someone breaks in, they're prepared to do a "grab n' go" because alarms will trip and police will be on their way. If there's a chain they gotta get past, it probably won't be one of the things they grab while going.

Great idea, but it blocks a good portion of the ventilation holes...
Did you even look at the picture? It blocks maybe 6 of them.

So it's only a deterrent, won't stop a prepared burglar, only thugs, lowlifes and selfish jerks.
But since the mechanism itself connects to the metal insides, I bet that if you were to get your own quality cable (read: stronger), it'd probably work better than most kensington locks (and kensington lock holes on laptops or such)

And in the center as well, so actually restricting about 2 airflow holes, if that.

If they're real thiefs rather than thugs or lowlifes, they'll have a good wirecutter or such that can cut the cable with minimal effort.
If they were real thieves they wouldn't be robbing dorms, and would just smash the thing for the aggravation.

they need some type of hardware lock... like a key on my key chain wont turn on untill you stick your key in, and unlock the system. or sometype of uncrackable password security system to log on. in your bios, or your hard drive password prompt, after 3 tries , your system locks up, or just shuts down....
As if the RRoD didn't render enough 360s useless....
Post by: commadore64 on August 03, 2009, 07:19:00 AM
Then jump on ebay for a cheap 360 (console only)
best protection for 360 is like those kiosk displays at the game store (enclose everything and have remotes mounted unto the kiosk)
