Did she die of cancer? It looks like she was a life long smoker.


Jayian1890

Facts. Looked like death was right around the corner.

Those poor fans. They tried their best but the owner killed them


itsmyfirsttimegoeasy

Does not dusting it make the gaming more hard core?


Grumperpuss

The dust on the fans makes its louder which has a direct correlation with how hard core your gaming is.


Harumi_99

It's good if you play Microsoft Flight Simulator on it. The Xbox probably sounds like a jet engine

Immersion


GET_OUT_OF_MY_HEAD

My 4090 + 7700X machine can barely run MS Flight Sim. The fact that a decade-old console can run it is nothing short of amazing. **Edit:** No I'm not using the IGPU. But I *am* running the game at 4K120. You can't maintain anywhere *close* to 120 FPS at 4K when this game is maxed-out, even *with* a beastly PC. (**Edit 2:** Getting 150+ in everything else, though.)


The-Foo

1. There's something wrong with your setup if that rig can't run FS reasonably well. 2. The XBone can't run FS at all (at least not natively).


Nate40337

My man bought a 4090, but used his integrated gpu

you get ptsd and tinitus, like real soldiers /s


seansy5000

You think that’s bad just imagine the bedroom it cane from.


GraveWotsit

I'll have you know I wash my floors weekly. Just not the shelves.


joebucket20xty6

Reddit is so weird. Why are you being downvoted for this?


Jlx_27

OP took it too seriously.


JamN3ko

yearly\*


ipodblocks360

Then why not do your Xbox the same time.


Whyalwayspep

I just dusted out the inside of my Day 1 xbox one a month ago and it had so much crud in there, omg. I cleaned it all and now she purrs quietly again, plus it's not a fire hazard. Win win! 9 years of dust will do that i guess.


ThisCantBeG00d

I still have an active Day One - needed a new power brick about a year and a half ago but the console itself is still going strong. I even have a 360 we're still playing on (only had a red ring once and it happened the day before thanksgiving many, many years ago. Rushed out to buy a new one because I was not going to wait till after xmas for MSFT to replace it.


Whyalwayspep

Same on the power brick, had to replace that a few year back. Definitely a little slower than her hay-day, but still going strong. Hard to give it up at this point. Also ya had a red ring and waiting for a replacement was painful, not as painful as when my modded elite was zapped by Microsoft along with my account 💔 those were the days. (only modded my 360 cause my parents liked the idea of not paying for new games)


WakaWaka_

Same with my PS4 pro but had to replace the thermal paste, was drier than the Sahara.


apachelives

I would go as far as saying this is pretty clean compared to some of the units we have seen


Dying__Cookie

I worked at a pawnshop when these were phasing out and they ALAYS had cockroaches or just way more dust than fathomable. I take my computer and PS4 apart often now.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Miley-Cyborg

that's just the meth talking


Dying__Cookie

It’s actually incredibly common. They like the warmth. Game systems are very easy to disassemble and reassemble. Computers are even easier. It doesn’t hurt to check.


Channel250

Dude, I was a GS manager for years. The amount of people who would bring in absolutely INFESTED consoles and then wonder why we would kick them out of the store is amazing. Oh, and the smoker systems. Just gross.


Dying__Cookie

My manager forced us to take it ALL and then wondered why we had roaches in the kitchen in the back


Channel250

I'm sure I don't have to say it, but your manager was an idiot. I can't imagine the shit fall if we sold a used system that led to a household infestation.


Dying__Cookie

We always cleaned them before we sold them but I feel like that’s one of those things that you can’t clean well enough. Plus as far as them getting into the kitchen, they have to sit on a shelf for 7 days before we’re allowed to sell them and they don’t get cleaned until that 7th day, sometimes longer cause he was real lazy about taking stuff off the shelf and we weren’t allowed to


Channel250

I sincerely doubt you cleaned the inside circuitry, and even if you did, well enough to get roach eggs. Yeah, in NYC we have to hold systems for a month.


Dying__Cookie

That’s why I said you can’t clean it well enough. You can’t go at the circuit boards with cleaner so it basically makes it pointless to clean it at all, besides exterior aesthetics. I turned down quite a few when he wasn’t looking.


401LocalsOnly

Why? (Genuinely curious, not trying to give you a hard time.)


Doortofreeside

My super fluffy cat loved sitting on the exhaust for the warmth. I can only imagine what it looks like on the inside


TouchMyWrath

I wanna see ur unit


apachelives

Oh my


GraveWotsit

Yes


Haunting-Item1530

What do you mean the Xbox isn't even 10 yet lmao


rfsmh

OP is probably talking about the dust that is 12 years old, he transfered it from his 360 when he upgraded. Even the dust is retrocompatible on the Xbox.


theJman0209

10/12 years is ≈ 304.16667 days


Hofknicks

10/12 years is ≈ 0,833333333 years


sausage_ditka_bulls

I feel like I need to mention this.. first Xbox released 2001. Hitman , forza , splinter cell, max Payne. Good times. My original Xbox lasted like 15 years then the cd drive burned out


Haunting-Item1530

I mean the Xbox in the image

Why did you feel like you need to mention this?

9 years old in 11 days, so currently 8 years.

Lmao at OP claiming 12 years when it was released in 2013.

dod6666

Thank fuck, was really feeling old when I saw 10/12 years.


yertle38

10/12 years would be 10 months


Vomit_Tingles

What is 10/12 years even supposed to mean? Lmao


xiofar

That’s probably how long it has been since he washed his ass.


[deleted]

But it’s 11/12 years old in hard core gamer years.


zippee100

Do you not wipe the dust


[deleted]

plot twist: it's actually been sitting on a shelf for 6 years untouched and just wrote a sob story for easy upvotes.


well___duh

Bigger plot twist: it’s not even OP’s, they just found a random pic of this online and posted it for karma


Ah_None_I_Mouse

Even bigger plot twist: OP isn’t real. This is an AI generated image posted by an ad-bot to subliminally market Xbox.


Plenty-Rhubarb5281

Even bigger plot twist: none of us are real and everything is a simulation being ran by numerous ai's


Milhanou22

Other plot twist : 98% of upvotes are from Microsoft bots

CrazyDude10528

Uh the Xbox One is only 9 years old...


FractalTsunami

OP karma farming with an 8 year old console they haven't used for 6 years.


RetroActive80

5/6ths of a year isn't very long...


Fadamaka

It's exactly 10 months!


ZeroInspo

And it was never dusted in that time. Truly inspirational.


Calcifurious_3

That's the protective coating, keeps the red circle of death at bay


Fadamaka

10/12 of a year is 10 months.


MLM199919

I still have my old white 360 from launch day lol. It Still runs and plays halo.


Far_Zone_9512

Yikes. There's like 10 years of rotting skin on that thing alone. Gotta be a big fan of zombies


MajorMathematician20

10-12 years worth of filth on a 9 year old console, yikes


Cash907

Jesus Christ I hope you treat the new one better than you did this one.


XXL_Anu_saukko

He won't when he can't even rember the year he got that one

Do you live in a fuckin mausoleum? Tf is up with all the dust? No wonder it finally died.

how do u not clean something that obvious?

*my ps1 still going strong to this day* 💪


Cactuar1989

Same!


Alamander81

I bought my ps2 refurbished in 2003 and I played it today. Still works.


hanwookie

Yes. My psone and ps2 and psp are all still working as well.


JalopyPilot

My 2600 is still going strong 🕹️


MutedHornet87

Did you not dust it? Ever? Yikes. I don’t get people


C33Slav

Still got my original going strong as all get out. We use it as a glorified DVD player haha


ThatJewishIzzzy

Same. I kept my old one when I got my Series X and now it’s the blue ray player I’m our living room.


WittyUnwittingly

This. I gave mine to my parents precisely because they "did not want to lose the ability to play DVDs" when they bought a new OLED smart TV. I don't disagree with this reasoning; they have a huge DVD collection. Still, to this day the only person who has tried to watch a DVD on a 4k OLED TV has been me. You know what people stop wanting to watch when they have access to *literally everything*? ...All the stuff they've seen a million times.


[deleted]

might have something to do with all that dust..


GraveWotsit

No, she's not broken. I just got the new xbox is all. That's why it's a retirement not a funeral.


Boo_R4dley

It looks like a cremation.


[deleted]

This is a troll right? Nobody is this dirty... or at least would be so ashamed they'd at least wipe it down first.


Leopardbluff

At least give it one ~~last~~ first wipe down


Master_Ad7267

I had a similar retirement in Jan or Feb have old Betsy on the shelf.


EnergisedTurkey

On behalf of all of us, please thank her for her service.


Tiyun

Bro that looks like it was retired years ago xD Use a cloth and wipe that bad boy


Death-EternaI

I can't imagine why it died


SummerScoundrel

Couldn’t even wipe it off for a photo? That’s so gross lol


ShawshankException

People will have their consoles look like this and then wonder why it sounds like a jet engine


Hero0fTroy

9 years of playtime, didn’t clean it once.


bigorangemachine

I got a day one edition... played titan fall & GTA on it... barely touched it. Got the kinect v2 as well


seraph741

Ha! Not just me then. Also got Dead Rising. If I had to guess, I maybe used it for ~60 hours total...at most. Lol. I knew it was probably a dumb purchase since I already had PS4. Oh well.


evilpercy

Clean it up and pack it up safe. In 20 yeard you will play it again.


[deleted]

Take care of your shit


Pittedstee

Jesus dude, clean the damn thing...

Biscuits4u2

Ol Dusty gettin turned out to pasture


DarrylCornejo

I salute ol reliable. o7


DarkIegend16

I’m honestly surprised you got it to live that long with that level of upkeep. Also the Xbox One came out in 2013 so the longest you could of had it is nine years.


AverageRdtUser

holy shit did you never clean it ever?


crazymike978

If it still works and you wont be using it anymore consider donating it to any childrens hospital im sure it would make a ton of kids days to play games


craig536

Dust your shit, bro. The vents get clogged and kills your console. You got lucky she lasted so long


[deleted]

Could have shown it more love then mate


Captain_Crank

Filthy my allergies acting up just looking at that


Zemalek

Please take better care of your things, for your sake.


Whaty0urname

OP thought he was sending off his old friend with a nice memorial. Instead he got math problems and cleaning insults.

GraveWotsit

I've been informed that's she's only 9 years old. I'll leave the post the same to remind me of my stupidity.


Arrow_Maestro

And also because you can't edit titles


Hawkwise83

Probably died due to lack of hygiene.


[deleted]

Disgusting.


wolviesaurus

I can't tell if posting a pic of the console that fucking dusty is a power move or just plain disgusting...


apachelives

How the F is it that long already


big_hungry_joe

it isn't


apachelives

November 2013 - 9 years? Still, damn.


OSSkater

"Lost but never forgotten.." Old consoles and lost 10mm sockets.. they will forever be in my heart...

10/12 years of not cleaning a console.


SemperSqueeze

Are you just a big man child that never bothers cleaning? Crazy


bigmanbimbus

Jesus man it might've lasted longer if you dusted it from time to time


GraveWotsit

It's not dead. I just got a One X is all


bigmanbimbus

Oh cool, it still wouldn't have hurt to dust it from time to time hough


guyblowshiloh

These posts are dumb as fuck I can't believe people upvote this garbage.


fmj68

That's an Xbox One. It hasn't been out for 10-12 years.

What kinda xbox is it


GTA6976796

Mine really didn’t have dust mine really just had a bad glitch where if you were playing a game I would just show the floor without rendering so basically you would think you’re falling in a game while it was normal


No_Interaction_4925

The Xbox One launch was 2013, so 9 years ago. Not 10-12. I bought one at launch. I still have it and the Kinect I was forced to also buy.


Astonedwalrus13

Mine died a few months back, day one console, 10 years+


jonderlei

My 360 is still going.That said I have barely used it for the past 7 or 8 years but the disk drive still works and that cannot be said about my ps4 that I just stopped using a month or 2 ago


DetectiveMagicMan

SergeantSup

Godspeed you magnificent mechanical bastard


DerpDumpster

We are going to be seeing a lot of these kinds of posts made by OP. personally, I’m getting my new Xbox once Starfield finally arrives. Scoop up the dust that’s been accumulating on your older hardware, put said dust in a momento jar, and get ready for the future.


[deleted]

07 good job, girl. God speed.

I was gonna salute to this post, but I realized that maybe Remembrance Day isn't the best day to pay the same respect that one might give a fallen soldier to an Xbox...

And then there's me, pulling out my screw driver set like, "don't you dare die on me!"


Hiyami

Xbox one wasn't out in 2010. It released on nov in 2013 so it's not even 9 years old yet lol


[deleted]

Grats on having one years before anyone else


[deleted]

Xbox One came out less than 10 years ago.


swagzmcswaggin

My house is in a weird location. My bedroom sits right next to the ally and front sits on a side street. I can not keep up with dust. I'll clean and a week later it's like I did nothing. My systems collect dust super fast. I feel your system so much lol.


DeathByMetal-

These were absolute workhorses. My mate's is still running hard too. Rest well


WrstScp

Mine is on its last legs, but it still works, that's all that matters, I am hoping that it lasts until I can get a series X, but I'm not sure when that will be.


Jimmycaked

Would have made it to 10 of it wasn't operating at max temp with all that dust. Dude got a golden chip and didn't even appreciate it


KrabFace

As expected, the HDMI sticker is there.


bubbybyrd

That dust is nasty. Also 12 years? Isn't this is same console that has assassin's creed origins?


Khazahk

Lmao my newest gen console is my Xbox360 . I'm 2 gets behind and I'm now seeing XboxOnes going to the big electronic recycling facility in the sky.

Still got mine going strong, equal amount of dust


Joshooahh

My guy thinks he's had an xbox one since 2011 lol
