Not to worry for the kids, however, as a replacement Xbox can be found on eBay for well under $40. In fact, the Xbox shown above can be found on the online auction site as well, with 50% of proceeds reportedly going to the local school system and 50% towards the children's college fund. So, now that we know it can be nailed ... will it blend?

Vegnagun bwf @ Aug 19th 2008 12:34AM
We can only hope it blends.

I believe the REAL question is...But can it still play DOOM?

"Squirrel Makes Bank on XBOX-Huge Estate."
Obie @ Aug 19th 2008 12:17AM
Man, if only every parent did that to every little Xbox live douchebag......what a wonderful world it would be!
WRE @ Aug 19th 2008 12:24AM
Agreed.
Sigh @ Aug 19th 2008 4:58AM
Most of the "douche bags" are still playing XBOX 1 online games anywho.
Disturbingly enough, a larger amount of older douche bags play the XBOX 360. Because it's more expensive.
Though, you still have a high amoutn of the snottier spoiled kids playing the 360. But man, there's just as much annoyingly stupid trash talking moronic adults on there, and older teens.

People still play Original Xbox?
TheOverlord#2 can has Animals Crossing? @ Aug 19th 2008 12:29AM
I believe Madden '09 was made for Xbox.
NoRedRingsForMe @ Aug 19th 2008 12:48AM
Hate to see what he would do to a red ringed 360. But he's obviously smart enough not to buy one.. Actually, it would work out fine cause the thing would'nt work long enough for the little brats to fight over it. Their dad would probably destroy it anyway because of the noise of the damn thing taking off and landing like a friggin Jumbo 747 next to the tv. But hey, thats the 360 for you...all that noise and no hard drive space for the future top quality HD games to come. What a shame. I guess it goes to show that "First is Last"!
Saeth @ Aug 19th 2008 12:59AM
PS3fanboy.com is ----> that way.
VaultICEE @ Aug 19th 2008 1:04AM
Actually, stay out of PS3 Fanboy and just go straight to douchebag city.
Foetoid @ Aug 19th 2008 1:05AM
"First is Last" didn't work for last gen.
Vegeta (aka Ska Oreo) @ Aug 19th 2008 1:34AM
@Noredrings
Yeah. That's totally why the ps2 lost last gen's console war.
OH WAIT.
RagnarokSam @ Aug 19th 2008 2:36AM
Can't we all just get along...
No?...didn't think so.
On a different note, I can only wonder how much news coverage this would generate if instead of nailing it to a tree, he nailed to, lets say...a wooden cross.
...on fire.
RagnarokSam @ Aug 19th 2008 2:40AM
Scratch that. I didn't read all the Jesus references below me before making that reply.
So much for originality.
Sigh @ Aug 19th 2008 4:59AM
Yes, people still play the XBOX 1.
The most played, currently, consoles are the PS2 and the XBOX 1, least if surveys and such are to be believed.
This generation fails.
meist3r @ Aug 19th 2008 6:38AM
In fact the original Xbox makes an excellent Media center if you are not an HD fiend. XBMC is really cool.
j.howlett @ Aug 19th 2008 8:04AM
i thought dreamcast was first last gen. its what i had first anyway.
Vegeta (aka Ska Oreo) @ Aug 19th 2008 9:39AM
Most people don't really count the dreamcast as last gen.
j.howlett @ Aug 19th 2008 10:04AM
and people try to say nintendo doesn't count this gen, that doesn't stop the Wii from being #1. facts are facts
CJLopez @ Aug 19th 2008 12:23PM
Still, is from the last generation of consoles, the sixth generation, and was the first one to be released

Fosssil @ Aug 19th 2008 12:22AM
It always blends.
VaultICEE @ Aug 19th 2008 1:07AM
Not Chuck Norris.
Haggard @ Aug 19th 2008 10:53AM
Wouldn't look very good for that company who make those vids if it ever didn't blend..
Banimal @ Aug 20th 2008 12:53AM
Mic check...
MrSpaceCowboy @ Aug 19th 2008 12:26AM
If a tree falls in the forest because it had an xbox nailed to it, does it still make a sound?
Jakka - The Heavy wants his sandwich back! @ Aug 19th 2008 9:01AM
Yes, I believe that would be so.
randomshagz @ Aug 19th 2008 12:32AM
That sounds about right.
DocZoid @ Aug 19th 2008 12:34AM
I always knew the Xbox would one day be our Messiah.
ButtersParker @ Aug 19th 2008 12:45AM
lol, you made a funnay
BigD145 @ Aug 19th 2008 1:47AM
And give trees cancer.
ComicShaman @ Aug 19th 2008 12:34AM
If that thing comes back to life in three days, then we've got a real story on our hands.
MrSpaceCowboy @ Aug 19th 2008 12:47AM
I'm pretty sure it died.
I saw it last night, it was a ghostly white and had a red glowing eye. Creepy.
Ayrkain @ Aug 19th 2008 12:50AM
The poor Xbox didn't do anything wrong! LEAVE XBOX ALONE!!!!
t_m @ Aug 19th 2008 8:34AM
should have nailed the kids to the tree..
NoRedRingsForMe @ Aug 19th 2008 12:52AM
"I saw it last night, it was a ghostly white and had a red glowing eye. Creepy".
Funniest thing ever!!! Say it again. You crack me up. You work for UPS? (snicker)
juju187 @ Aug 19th 2008 12:58AM

VaultICEE @ Aug 19th 2008 1:18AM
Aunt Lori???

Vegeta (aka Ska Oreo) @ Aug 19th 2008 1:35AM
You have a horrible aunt.
Duke @ Aug 19th 2008 11:18AM
You are one annoying troll.
Kris @ Aug 19th 2008 1:25AM
I'd like to see the father try to do that to a Gameboy. Those things seem to survive fire, water... bombs!?

theturtle363 @ Aug 19th 2008 1:34AM
but will it blend?
Blank-Mage @ Aug 19th 2008 2:18AM
It always blends.
Evan @ Aug 19th 2008 9:59AM
Nintendo can make a game system that can survive being burned, while Microsoft builds game systems that break if you breath on them.
