Why??

[Echoes]

I am so mad now, yesterday i went to my friends house and took my controller with me. his little brother screwed around with the controllers, and i left without the little "extention" peice. now i cant even play, god damn why do they have gay **** like this? why didnt they make it so its just ONE wire.. i cantp lay until monday, there goes my "playing halo 2 over my break" idea.. -.-

[Darkside]

The reason they have that is so that if you trip over your cord you won't take the whole xbox to the floor with you

[Scapegoats]

Wait... You forget to make sure all your stuff is together when you leave, and you're mad at a little kid? Sounds like it's your mistake to me.

[Xorg]

I saw a gamespot selling just the break away peice for about 5 dollars, if you really feel you have to play, you can go buy one, but then again, you could just call your friend, go over and get the peice back

[ShaDovV RyDer]

You're smart :)
At least you have learned a valuable lesson from this horrible experience...I hope...

[Reclaimer]

Thank god for the break away wire though. The xbox is so big, if you accidentally pulled it down.. you'd probably kill somone or a small animal.

[Ghost]

lol how high are your guys's xboxes? mine is like 1 foot off the ground in an entertainment center. Do you put it ontop of your TV's or what?

[Echoes]

1.) i didnt say im mad at the kid, im mad at the damn break cord
2.) xbox isnt always on my mind, i went paintballing and my parents picked me up unexpected so i had to rush
3.) my xbox is on the floor so there isnt much use for it -.-

[Variation-XBA]

It's there for a reason, and it's your own fault for leaving it, Simple...

[CRAYMAN]

Actually, some controllers don't have the breakaway feature.
My Micron doesn't have one. I think it's by Intec.

[Brevity]

I think its a good idea to have the breakaway thing.

Im pretty positive not everybodies is on the floor, well would you look at that, myne isnt on the floor!! ;)

I personally love the break away wire, ive tripped over it numberous times, and I sure wouldnt want my xbox falling no matter how high it is. Even if your mom came early you still should have checked that you had everything with you, if you were in a rush it wouldnt take THAT long. Why didnt you just go back later to pick it up? You cant really blame anyone but yourself.

[BKerr]

and why waste your time telling us here when you could be walking back to your friends house :)

[natedog8]

she was early picking you up because I couldnt get it up
dude, not my fault, it happens to everyone

[LTM360]

Mine is on a shelf, and I'll be honest, the breakaway has saved my Xbox on numerous occasions. I'm very clumsy when it comes to those wires. So it does serve a very good purpose.

[Max33]

The breakaway wire also preserves the controller connection on the unit itself.
I also think it was a GREAT idea,being that people have tripped over my controller wire a gang of times.

[mattgame]

It seems as though you're alone on this one champ. I thank God for the breakaway wire, I would have destroyed my box by now.

[keown06]

thank god i have a cordless.

[wbio]

I love the breakaway cable, I've tripped over my controller cord tons of times, and my Xbox would be destroyed if it wasn't for the breakaway cable. I have my Xbox about 3.5 feet off the ground, so a few falls from that height would do some damage.

[shrew king]

Why not duct tape it?

[SPARTAN VI]

My Xbox is a little over a foot off the ground and there are so many wires for me to trip on. Everytime I get up to go to the bathroom, I spend aobut 10 seconds shaking the wires off my foot. If it weren't for the breakaway, the Xbox might've broke through the floor and killed my mother directly below. :confused:

lol, ouch. maybe you should go wireless if you can afford it. I know i cant, but i mean seriously now it takes me 2 seconds to do exactly what you said, there are not THAT many wires.

[Dark Enemy]

Cry me a River! WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAaa

Its your fault you were being clumsy.

[Douchesforfun]

buy a new one and have your friend pay you the expenses, or his brother. They are replaceable now.
