Armored Xbox...

[GenghisK]

Baltimore Sun reports that in Maryland, a man, 34yo, was annoyed by his noisy neighbours playing with their Xbox. Then he got a 9mm automatic gun, entered their house and fired at the Microsoft console. Fortunately, it (the xbox) was so intense and hard that the bullet was reflected and hit the wall after the shot. Nevertheless, the impact was enough to switch the machine off, although it didn't destroy it.
The assaulter was arrested and charged with console murder attempt...

Thought of the day: that's why all Marines in Iraq should have several Xbox around their body. And Abrams tanks should be made of xbox too.

Wow.

But I doubt X-box-styled bulletproof vests will get popular anytime soon.

Moved to Other Games, being non-Civ related games news.

The Xbox got disabled by the impact, so I guess the guy will need a new one then.

MS shld offer to fix it up for them, since it gives them something new to boast/market about.
