Xbox Nailed To Tree As Punishment
« on: August 15, 2008, 12:35:00 PM »

From CNN i-Report FULL STORY and PICTURES

In Mechanicsville, Virginia a father had an issue with his boys behaving badly while playing the Xbox. After breaking it in two he proudly nails it high up on a tree in the backyard. What a mean daddy. LOL. His wife posted it as a CNN i-Report.
Thought I would share the story. smile.gif

At least it wasn't a 360

That is pretty funny.

Is it wrong to see that second picture and immediately try to see if you could tell what version it is?

Well from the second picture, it looks like there's a piece of shielding that goes on the front of the DVD drive, and I've only seen that on a 1.1.

A little excessive if you ask me!

Def a 1.0/1.1 since there's a fan on the GPU heatsink. the CPU heatsink has gone completely however.

My Son's got an Xbox in his room. If he misbehaves, it gets removed and he has to earn it back. Simple enough really.

All the xbox's i have owned had a DVD shield. I dont think its a matter of version. All of them should have it i think.

And 1.1 xbox's do not have a GPU fan its a 1.0 exclusive deal haha.

I don't even know why i bothered to type that because honestly its nailed to a tree. So it does not even matter!

Funny as hell. And oddly enough i passed thru Mechanicsville about a week ago.

GO DAD!!!!!! I have 4 boys and they bitch and fight all the time when on the Xbox but thats little boys for ya.
I've never broke an xbox because of all the work in the hard mods I've done but I have pulled the cord out of controllers. But now I make them do things around the house to earn money now they pay to play and no more fighting.
