Normally, we have to wait for devices to go on sale before we get snaps of them all naked, sprawled out, and gutted, but AnandTech have already ripped into an Xbox 360 for your sick amusement. Now listen up future 360 modders, 'cause they provide step-by-step instructions for splaying your console wide using only standard tools and a couple of metal sticks. Inside they discovered the Microsoft logo slapped all over the PowerPC-based CPU, Xenos GPU, and elsewhere clearly demonstrating the level of control Microsoft has had over this release compared to the original Xbox, which largely made use of off-the-shelf PC components. Better get your camping gear ready diehards, cause the 360 drops in less than a week.

The same guy eBaying hundreds of vintage PCs has also been spotted auctioning an epic collection of gaming consoles. Damn near 400 vintage gaming consoles from those giants of yesterday Coleco, Atari, and Magnavox (some in their original boxes!) are on the block including the "largest Pong console collection in the world." Hey, and someone alert Shigeru that the Donkey Kong Handheld is up for grabs. While some of these are sure to make your eyes well up with childhood pride, don't dawdle 'cause the auction ends tomorrow.
