Man runs back into burning house to save his Xbox

[Steve Rogers]

Insurance can't replace the hours spent playing those games and getting all your lost achievement/trophies back so I would definitely run in to save my console

Cloud backups FTW!

How durable are hard drives? Could they possibly survive a fire?

Doubt it... Especially when the whole house is burning xD

Actually hard drives are extremely sensitive. A large fire would make it totally worthless.

But they're sealed up tight. I guess if they get too hot they get damaged.

Lol, I only play multiplayer so wouldn't give a damn - well, apart form my life burning up of course.

But insurance (not anything else) would have helped if he got trapped! material possessions can always be replaced. I can understand running into burning building to save a loved one, but not a piece of equipment. Would be ironic if it RROD on him a day later ;-)

Would you risk death to save your gaming device?

Nope, but for family and children photographs (on hard drives), the grandfather clock, cuckoo clock and some of my books I would risk it. I have a few things I have inherited which no amount of money could replace. It's pure sentiment, so I would risk it several times if I had too. All the gaming stuff can be replaced.

Maybe its worth getting a big dropbox account for stuff like that. Also helps in the event of HD failure, which seems to happen to all my externals for some reason..

For me it would depend on the console.

If its like a SNES signed by a game designer or something along those lines then yes but only if the fire wasn't raging out of control and destroying everything in its path yet.

Or you could ask firefighters to try and get the fire out wherever that is located first, then retrieve it.

No insurance makes people do funny things...

I would do too.
