tc do not listen to the moronic jokes, do not ,

i think they are the meanest posters on this site,

as far as the smell , it may be just a smell of new electronic ,

just play for a few days or hrs ,it should go away

Actually the jokes are hilarious, however, I think mariokart guy is right. Just play it for a while. After all, if it randomly explodes... warranty!!!! Sometimes new electronics have an odd electrically burning smell for a short time when you first use them, so I suppose this isn't that surprising. My XBox 360 didn't do this i don't think, but then again, I didn't sit all that close to it when it was running.

I just bought one this morning, and as soon as I opened it up, I noticed a scent coming out of the packaging. After play a couple of hours, my room smells. Is there something wrong at all?

I'm not gonna lie; that's pretty weird. I've not enountered anything like this in the dozen or so Xbox 360s that have been through my home.

what kind of smell is it? like chemical or something burning?? Alot of new electronics have a very strange "new smell", just like toys do, ANYONE REMEMBER how ninja turtles or He-man toys smelled? (man im getting old)

All of the xboxes smell in the beggining. That you should notice this smell has 3 possible outcomes:

1) the glasses weren't made to play video games in, take them off and sit further away from your TV.

2) you have an enlightened sence of smell (not joke)

3) xbox is put together improperly. Take it back immediatly.

It's a normal stinky smell for 360's.In fact, if the 360 didn't stink when you turned it on, I would be worried.

It's the smell of burning Plastic inside the machine, most likely. Enjoy the 360! That Smell, it's like a countdown.

You must have the Falcon release of the 360, so called because it has an actual dead hawk inside.

new electrical components can smell a bit when they warm up for the first time but youd have to be an idiot to not know that smell :P

DG_Addict

Well I guess I'm an idiot, I have no idea what smell anyone is talking about. Is is that sort of new car smell that you get from opening it? If so I LOVE THAT SMELL! Otherwise I have no idea what you guys are talking about.

Could it be possible that someone layed an epic fart in this box before it was sealed?KorruptRaiden
Although this is always a possibility. I know I would do that if I worked at MS assembly line.

When you open up a new controller out of the box you huff in the fumes. It's good for you. It puts hair on your chest.

I think I know the smell that you are talking about, but I don't think it is all that bad.

oh its just a joke, calm down. it is a bit of a wierd topic, after about 3 years since the 360 has been out this is the first time ive heard of the 360 'smelling'. we werent making fun of the TC, just the topic haha

Taken a bit too far as far as im concerned, its still insulting. Could it be possible that someone layed an epic fart in this box before it was sealed?

LOL my cousin calls this Dutch Ovening someone. He's done it in a Gladware tupperware and left it on the counter for his mom to open and smell to see if it was clean....what a horrible child:P

Shouldn't you read the first post before typing? I swear nobody reads the damn 1st message anymore, anyways for something more helpful, just get a can of febreeze and play it for awhile it should go away. If not get ready for your 360 to Crap out on you *pun intended* it's called the RROD, *knocks on wood to not curse*
