The funeral for my Xbox 360 (with WORKING pics)

The rain was comforting today.

Xbox 360 the Fourths funeral was held yesterday, November 20th in our home.

It was a lovely funeral.

Master Chief did the Eulogy. He did a great job.

Many systems showed up for the funeral. Some couldn't make it, but sent their condolences.

Some took the passing harder than others. Echochrome was having a hard time keeping his composure.

When the service was over, everyone lined up to give their final goodbyes. Master Chief was there to give support.

Even though the system wars rage on, when a system passes, for a moment the wars stop, and soldiers give peace to even their most sworn enemies. It's all about respect.

Master Chief was strong and supportive the entire funeral, but when all systems said their final goodbyes and left, Master Chief couldn't keep his composure any longer.

For a moment he felt alone. Who would comfort him? Then he felt a pat on his shoulder. It was Echochrome there to help him.

Master Chief gave his goodbyes and pulled himself together. As they were about to leave, they were surprised with an unexpected guest. It was Xbox 360's biological father, Xbox.

Master Chief and Echochrome stuck around as Xbox gave his respects to his son.

The body of Xbox 360 was sent to his maker today at 9:24 a.m. He will be missed.

It was a very nice funeral. Thanks to all the attendees including R.O.B, Neo-Geo Pocket, Gameboy, Virtuaboy, PS3 and Wii to name a few.

Thanks to my wife, who let me use her wilted flowers.

Thanks for reading and I hope that you all enjoyed!

**Edit**

My 360 dies due to a severe case of RRoD and a minor case of One Red Light. Also, people keep asking me about the systems. I have been collecting religiously for about 6 years now. I have bout 42 systems and tons of games. I did not want to drag them all out. I will blog with a pic of them all soon. Also, the 360 in the background is actually a 10th build 360 prototype that I got from an anonymous Microsoft employee. It was a prototype that they used during the build process, mainly the program build. Anyways, its just a collectors item (since there are only 12 in existence) and unfortunately does not work.

    Hilarious, despite a few typos (we all have them). I am surprised Famicom was able to attend. She's not getting any younger. Especially since her production years have come to an end. A father shouldn't have to outlive his son. Stay strong Master Chief.

    my 360 says it wants to be cremated if it should fail... I don't know that I'll be able to fulfill his request... it would be like burning my dog.
