Yes if the console leaves the surface it's sitting on the alarm will go off. Unsuspecting victim will not realize that there is a tiny button hidden under the console. And those alarms are ear piercing loud!



There is a reed switch in these which will be instead replaced with a button. The alarm costs about $20

this is a great idea. maybe include a backup battery for the alarm that is charged when the console is on incase the thief unplugs the console first

Some button batteries are included in the alarm. This mod is so easy. All that needs to be done is rewiring the reed to a button and putting it inside the case

Ok But Wait, What If They Yanked It From The Wall And Then The Alarm Goes Off, And They Got Scared, Then It Falls Out Their Hand And BOOM!, Breaks On The Floor, Owell A Broken System is Better Than No System, I Guess

Find, make them repay you, sue them, kill them.

One problem though. The 360 can be placed in 2 orientations. Vertical and horizontal. Wouldn't it need 2 alarms or a rig that would allow 1 out if 2 switches to be tripped, but when both switches ate tripped the alarm goes off?

Well What If You Cant Find Them 

Couldnt He Just Put A Switch To Set The Alarms Like 1 For When It Is Standing Up, And 1 For When Its Laying Down, And Belive Me He Will Remeber Because It Will Go Off, Just A Thought!

That would suck wouldn't it.

Can connect 2 switches in parallel. As long as one is pressed the alarm stays off

I Know Because, I Drove Up Too My House, Walked On The Porch, Herd Something Break, Look To The Back Yard And Saw Someone Running, Went Inside And My Ps2 Was Broken On The Floor, It Happened 1-2yrs Ago

Hmm, this could also be set up with a taser
Hmm, how big is that alarm?

[froggy]

O Wow, Why Not Just Bolt It Down lol

[Neubit]

Hmm, how big is that alarm?

[froggy]

i want To Give This A Shot, But I Dont Have A System To Try It On, I Have A Psp, But What Would Be The Point Of That lol

[SN!P3R]

There's nowhere to fit it as well

[bustinthejustin]

Hmm sounds like something fun to try

Oh and here's a link to get something similar from DX: http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.27700
Quality wise, it may not be as good, but it's almost 1/3 the price of some of those links above, which may give you more incentive to try it. :P

Build one with an accelerometer. No external components. If the box moves at all, the alarm goes off.



EDIT: Oh, I was also going to mention: If there is a thief in my house, my xbox is the last thing I would need an alarm for.
