(you can leave explanations if you want to)

xbox fan-boys beware.

The xbox 360 is like glass, inside of a suit of armor.
Because its a friggin' nightmare getting that thing open, because it broke itself somehow.

Actually, if you'll pardon the nitpicking, those are similes, not metaphors. Similes use "like" or "as" for their comparisons. Metaphors don't.

"Justin sneezed like an elephant gun on automatic." is a simile.

"The wind sighed sadly through the skeletons of trees swaying to an unheard Danse Macabre." is a metaphor. Yes, they can be a bit subtle.

They both are useful, so please don't think I'm getting after you. Instead, may I recommend (assuming the thread isn't locked) to expand the subject to metaphors and similes?
