360 Towel Revival

Post by matt_mr2t »

Has any one tried this and it worked?

My dad said they were talking about it on the radio and the context was "only a stupid fat american could believe wrapping it in a towel would work"

Apparently they then went on to say they might as well try balancing a bunch of grapes on one side.

So, has any one tried it and it worked?

yea, send it to MS for free.


the towel trick was proven not to work properly as to melt the solders like you need to, they would have to reach about 400 degrees or something like that.
