Default "My dad brought home an XBOX360...."

Oh dear, this is what happens if your old man works for Microsoft, brings home a spanking new XBOX360 and his kid gets his hands on it....



For the full and entertaining story, and why his dad probably DOESN'T work for MS any more, here:

Hello

Very good advertising for Microsoft, something worth doing if ever I'm in a position to release that kind of product.

doubt it, the kid went on to say how its got a ridiculously big external power supply, stupid looking wireless receiver, etc...

When he realised he'd dropped his dad in it, he went back to the forum and desperately tried deleting everything to do with his thread.

Anyone else getting a whiff of propaganda ?

All contrived by Microsoft to steal thunder from the PS3, no doubt about it.
