Every single freakin' time I press the God-damn disk drive button, I get a jolt of static electricity. Oh, and it isn't the simple kind of static shock you get from touching a metal doorknob, It's like the mother****ing X-Box is trying to electrocute me. You can count on M$ to pull this ****, they'll probably release a first-party only "shock protector" for $50, just to make a quick buck. I like the 360's current and future software lineup, love its online capabilities, and revere its downloadable content, but I'll be damned if I ever get ****ing zapped with lightning ever again. Thank you for listening, please go on as you were.
i am sorry but i have to laugh reading that.... sucks to hear man... maybe you are just full of a lot of static electricitiy?? ... try grounding yourself before you touch the button.
If you really don't want to get it fixed, use the remote opening whenever possible. Unfortunate part is if there's already a game in there, you can't do that. :(
yea like their god damn vista tactics. i have to pay an extra 15 dollars if i want a 64-bit version of vista. when i already paid 90 for the upgrade. sometimes i feel like they are trying to nickel and dime you at every turn. ever see that southwest airlines commercial where everything you do costs a quarter? that is basically what i am feeling for ms right now.

Apparently it didnt shock you hard enough!! But yeah I guess that since everytime I get out of my car and I go to close the door, I get shocked...I guess that is Dodge's problem? Stupid car manufacturers...
I know a guy who was killed the same way. I took the extra step and had a grounding rod put in the floor of my living room. Now any one who comes over to play just has to strap a leg to the rod b4 they can play the 360. Problem solved.
My 360 gives me a shock... but its winter (in canada) and almost everything gives me a shock. But i noticed the xbox gives me a rather large shock. its annoying but wtv. i just ground myself and get on with it.
I have been shocking myself too for the past months, I have alot of static build-up, I touch my cellphone, a laptop (buttons), the metal bars of a chair, and still get shocked. And no, it won't kill you, it's not powerful enough to, but static build-up pisses me off, I have to worry about grounding myself now because I killed one of my house fans trying to turn it off and the static electricity that went through penetrated through the plastic and probably caused a short circuit when I touched the power button when I wanted to turn it off, and now it doesn't work anymore.
you know that you can open it using the controller right?:D
but yes I know that's really a bug better complain it now to get a new one jc_tkml
Yeah man, just use your controller to open the disc tray. If you set it to load to the dashboard, it will go to the dashboard even if there is a game in the disc tray. Are you using a metal tv stand or desk? Sounds crazy.
Its the time of year, very dry out with all the heat running in doors. My 360 and PS3 shock me if I don't discharge myself after walking over carpet. The reason it's worse than a doorknob is because the doorknob is not filled with electronics with electricity flowing through them.
The worst is when the controller gets me...pull the trigger and bam...bad shock....would make for some interesting force feedback in games though.
