The Million Dollar Xbox

Postby Thoul » Fri Mar 13, '09, 1:25 am

Here's a crazy story for you. A student at Yale University went on a plane trip and packed his Xbox 360 in his luggage. Complete with tweaked out components that he claims made it cost over $1,000 (US). Not in a carry on bag, mind you, but in the normal luggage that wouldn't be within his control during the trip.

After the plan lands, he opens up his bag and guess what's not in there? Right. So after weeks of getting the runaround from the airline he used, he's suing them - for $1,000,000! Here's the full story:

Well it's pathetic that he wasted so much money on "improvements". Then he was stupid enough to bring it with him on a trip and to top it off, he didn't put it in with his carry on. I'm sorry but it sucks to lose something but common sense would've told him to bring it with him if he HAD to take it, which I doubt he did. He needs to take responsibility and suck it up.

I saw this already. LOL @ 1 million for a 360. What a tool. He'll be lucky to get the $3000 maximum.
