Default What should I do with my broken Xbox??
I have an Xbox that has a burnt hard drive. At least I think that's the problem. The thing that matters is it doesn't work. I took all the accessories and games in yesterday and sold them to EB Games for store credit (can you say Xbox 360 after my exam in November?? ) Long story short, I have an Xbox console that doesn't work and is of absolutely zero value to me. What should I do with it? Write-ins welcome.

Give it to a little kid as a present and then laugh when the little kid realizes it doesn't work.

Repeat.

Go to a truck stop and slip it under one of the tires of a big tractor trailer and watch as it gets run over.

Wrap it up and mail it to Bill Gates with a big "F U" note inside the package.

Wrap it up and mail it to Bill Gates with a ticking clock inside.

I'm thinking I take a page out of the Simpsons when Homer and Bart were grifters. I'll hold it standing in a high traffic area, wait for someone to run into me, fall to the ground, smashing it and then guilt them into giving me cash for a new one.

although I do like the Bill Gates ideas...

Whatever does it for you, man. All I know is that the worst of my four choices was better than the best of your four.

Really, if you're not going to do the job right, you shouldn't do it at all.
