My thoughts…on stuff

The XBOX, the console that threw out a million backs. It was the Godzilla of all the three consoles, perhaps that’s why the Japanese didn’t take to it too well (Aaah! It’s XBOX! Run for your lives!) In many ways the XBOX was a reflection of Microsoft itself: large, powerful, and intimidating. It did reasonably well in sales, being a newcomer and all. But with the release of the XBOX 360, it’s days seem to be numbered, and it is destined to be phased out and relegated to the console collections of nostalgic fanboys everywhere.

For those who have an XBOX 360, congratulations! If you’re rich, you probably made your butler fight it out while you continued rolling around naked in your pile of money. If you’re poor, you probably have to live on cup ramen and ketchup packets for the rest of the year. The rest of us have to hope that someone out there loves us enough to buy us one for Christmas, wait on the price to drop or buy it secondhand. But it was worth it right? While you’re enjoying your new XBOX however, did you ever stop to think about the what you could do with your original XBOX, instead of letting it sit in the corner gathering dust? Well here are a few ideas on how to use your old XBOX. You can:

• Use it as a wrecking ball
• Use it as an anchor
• Use it as a paperweight
• Use it for weightlifting
• Give it to charity
• Sell it on EBay

or best of all:

• Use it as a footstool while playing your 360

I hope these ideas will help you find new purpose for your old XBOX. If you have any other ideas, please post a comment.
