| Here are the winners of the 2nd part of the Team Xecuter and Xbox-Scene.com Xecuter 360 Connectivity Kit Contest. Picking the winners was extremely easy this time ... as we got 25 prizes and 25 submissions that followed the main rules. It was also never so easy to win a prize on xbox-scene, you just had to make a quick 20sec video about X-Scene and/or Xecuter and submit it to us. Anyway too late now ... congratulations to the 25 that did the effort to participate :-) These are the (forum) nicknames of the 25 winners and their respective ~20sec video (in no particular order): Peempz (video), Textbook (video), Technoside2 (video), rocky5 (video), Xplic1T (video), yardguy00 (video), dr34m3r (video), terezin (video), Akoto (video), StealthBlade (video), edleob (video), Bjodom (video), ramzi22 (video), Wolf12886 (video), travis134sg (video), deadparrot (video), Blackbolt (video), ShadowOryan (video), morasco (video), thompa89 (video), wangerclump (video), schnoid (video), coldshivery (video), Cimlite (video), Jin356b (video) If you see your nickname listed above PM me (XanTium) on the forums within 14 days with your full shipping address (that includes name and country - many seem to forget these 2) and I'll prepare the package and ship it to you via registred priority airmail. All prizes will be shipped from within the European Union. Prizes are offered by Team Xecuter. |

It's a real kaboom
Empty Xbox 360 shell + empty Xbox 1 Samsung drive shell. Two wires are hooked up to a 9 volt battery, with a model rocket ignitor in the circuit. The ignitor is sitting next to a small Black Cat firecracker. Touch two wires together, completes the circuit, ignitor sparks, and the firecracker lights.
No special effects, just a good half hour of setting it up to poke fun at the "Two-wire bricked my drive!"
I actually fooled some people, which I thought was hilarious. I wasn't trying to make it look real, I mean.. I filmed it in the middle of my garage with no cables plugged in.
PS: You can see the ignitor light the first time, but I pulled my hands away too quick, before it lit the firecracker. I was trying to get my hands out of the way, I didn't know how big the pop would be.

My windows PC with Premier Pro stopped working a couple of days before I entered, so I had to resort to an old laptop which could only handle WMM
Thanks guys, this'll go to good use!

Congrats to all the winners!

was it cut off because of time?
That was probably the best produced one, and Textbooks was the funniest.
Great work by everyone though.

Oh, and yup, I used Microsoft's crappy movie maker too. (as if that wasn't obvious enough). I should get honorable mention for worst video ever. ;-)

Also, everybody should download this important safety information concerning the correct use of the kit. Some people were frying their kits and/or drives with these kits. It has nothing to do with the kit itself, but more user error.

They probably have lives outside of Xbox-Scene and that comes first, give them a break already.
Post by: Bjodom on December 16, 2006, 07:49:00 PM
I don't plan on using this right away as I think if they can ban you from live, they will wait to get everyone when halo 3 and forza come out. Then this may force everybody to have to buy a new 360 and many will be more tempted to to play these two games. I can wait.

Ask for an update politely? Go ahead, but don't go overboard doing it every day.
If you're going to flame, just remember who you're flaming - the person who created Xbox-Scene. A wealth of information that is all freely available to you.
If we don't get the kits .. oh well, you wasted 10 minutes of your life making a youtube video. It's not like you spent the money on the kit and then didn't receive it.

All packages are finally ready and will be posted this week.
I'll post a pic of the packages tomorrow ... right now windoze doesn't want to recognize my USB flashcard.

Should be there within 10 working days. With the holidays I doubt they'll move much until Tuesday though.

Thanks Xantium !
No longer must I have to keep my Xbox 360 open just so I can use it to power drives.

Has been shipped Dec 22nd.
But most probably didn't move much until Dec 26th (weekend + Dec 25th) ... so wait to see if it arrives next week (as Jan 1st was no working day either).
