    I have a foolproof system that I use.

    If I'm ever leaving the house for an extended period I take my xbox and put it under the sink. I then grab my old RROD'd xbox and set it out in plain sight in the living room, along with a stereo system with a jammed CD player and one blown speaker.

    Anyone that breaks in would think they hit the jackpot and end up walking out with a shitty stereo and a dead xbox.

    I don't worry about the TV because I couldn't carry the damn thing in, pretty sure nobody is carrying it out.

    Or you could try to make an artificial RROD light and place it over the normal lights. When the robber sees the rings he'll turn 360 degrees and walk away.

    They kicked in my door a few years ago. Got my 360, Wii, DS, PSP, PS2, mp3 player, the peripherals and software for all systems of course, 2 bass guitars, an electric guitar, guitar amp, an acoustic guitar, and even went through the trouble of going through the boxes in my closet to steal my pokemon card collection. Then the people who run my dorms charged me for a new door.

    @Bialia ಠ_ಠ:


    1. They release very few copies of their good games, which then become so hard to find that the prices on eBay are doubled.


    2. They release their worst games with the best cover art, tricking millions of hopeful children and retard starfishes named Patrick into buying them. I call this "the Atlus effect".


    3. Their hardcore fanbase. You know the ones. The fat wapanese guys. The "Persona is so deep" guys. The "The PS2 isn't dead! I'm playing this Atlus game!" guys. They are all terrible people.


    While I'm not a "fatlus", I do enjoy some of their games. Not all though. Not even most.

    I mean, isn't that the point? To destroy something beautiful?


    They seem to have a very devoted following and very few people hate them for any legitimate reason other than "They have a strong base of fans made up of people I dislike" or people who expect them to release as many copies of their games as Square Enix or Electronic Arts does, as if there is conspiracy going on that they want to limit their own profits.
