We certainly saw our fair share of broken TVs when the Wii came out, but the Wii has a controller. You would have thought the problem would have been all but eliminated with the Microsoft Kinect. Well, you would have thought wrong—and here is the proof.
Blogger Phil Villarreal explains:
A public service announcement: Do not under any circumstances play Kinect Sports Volleyball at 1:30 a.m. while standing under a ceiling fan with a dangling chain for a light switch. You could conceivably spike it into your year-old amazing TV, causing it to die with a rainbow LCD teardrop dripping down from the impact wound.
Plus you’ll lose the match by forfeit.
Phil, you are a true champion. Let’s see how long it takes before someone tops him by breaking the TV with their own body.

When you use your imagination, the Xbox 360 can do anything! 3D graphics, virtual reality…gaming is whatever you want it to be. Isn’t that better than owning the real thing?
And the best part is that it is definitely not sad or depressing in any way.

Irrational Games, the studio behind the original BioShock has previewed an effort that is 3 years in the making—BioShock Infinite.
The game is set in 1912 and takes us out of Rapture and up to Columbia—a floating city in the clouds. It’s like the movie UP—if it was a first person shooter. It’s due out for the Xbox 360 sometime in 2012.
Check out the trailer after the break.

To celebrate the millionth Xbox 360 sold across Australia and New Zealand, and raise some money for a worthy charity in the process, Microsoft commissioned this bad ass Halo Elite console from Richard Taylor and the Weta Workshop.

Inspired by the cardboard boxes dubbed “coffins” that were used to ship Xbox 360 consoles suffering from the red ring of death back to Microsoft, designer Alexis Vanamois decided to make the real thing. Apparently, the prototype is made of tin, so it should be pretty cheap to actually produce. A good thing, since you would probably have had to endure three or four funerals by now.
