With the recent announcement of Final Fantasy XIII for the 360, Some Xbox 360 Owners inquired amongst themselves: What are you going to do with your reserved space?
Being the helpful kinda guy that I am, I thought to offer some suggestions to my fellow colleagues in need. What follows below are a few.
* Put all the game discs the 360 scratches up and leaves inoperable in a pile there ready at hand for those times when a burglar breaks in you can toss them as lethal projectiles at them.
* From the size of the allotted space there, that HD DVD Add on that you bought a while ago as well as your whole movie collection for it, will fit nicely.
* Those cheap headsets that come with the 360 and break down on you, you can proudly display as an art collage should you want to unleash the creative side of yourself.
* You can make a house of cards as well, what with all those extra Xbox Live subscription cards you have laying around for paying for an online service now upgraded to look like The Wii's Mii system. So hardcore.
* Have all your multi disc games there at the ready for that fast switching routine. Who cares that it's 8 discs. Pffft..Sony fanboys, I aint lazy to switch a disc. I mean Hello, we did that with FFVII only a few generations ago, No biggie.
* That punchbowl of drugs will go nicely there, as seeing that will be a prerequisite for you to extract the fun of the new UNO RUSH headed your way.
* You could leave it empty as a space for you to release your frustration when your 360 breaks down on you again by slamming your head on the shelf therapeutically.
* You could move that DVD player you have on the second shelf, Y'know the one you use to watch movies so as not to tax your 360 further, a prominent place on the top shelf.
* A big blank book would be nice as well. For those times when lyrical snippets of genius come pouring out of your head unexpectedly. Nuggets like PS3 OwnerZ U got OWNED cuz we have FF XIII. Those are keepers and deserve preservation.
* Put your PS2 or Wii there. Lord knows you're going to have to play something when your main baby is out in repair land.
and last but not least...
* A beautifully framed picture of our Robot Mascot with STFUAPG!! can and should be on display for the times when common sense eludes many of us. What better place for it.
That's all I got.
Perhaps you may have some worthwhile suggestions for these gents as well.
What are you going to do with this empty space... in your soul now that it's been ripped to shreds by this terrible news? My suggestion is to fill it with Jesus's love. He's the only one who can help you through such trying times.
You're a fucking asshole. Seriously, Rorschach knew what he was getting into when he put up the post for flamebait/jokes, and now you're just feeding it?
Jesus fuck, Yojimbo. This is going to spiral out of control fast. God damn it.
You forgot one Yojimbo. They could stack all their old XBOX360's that got a RROD there. It would be like a monument to Microsoft's failures as a hardware company.
No, dude, this isn't a joke. If you have any fucking sense, you know that you're going to cause more controversy with this, and then the moderators & blog recappers will have to deal with this shit, all because you thought it would be funny to react to flamebait with more flamebait.
So it's ok for 360 fanboys to post flamebait but it's not ok for anyone else to respond? Everyone's supposed to just sit there and take it like a bitch? Not everyone lives life like you, apparently.
I wish one of these HD systems would just hurry up and win already. It's tough choosing between the big noisy one that breaks down all the time and the big noisy one that's too expensive and has sucky exclusives.
Whoa, whoa, whoa there, motherfucker- a. I JUST said that Rorschach posted flamebait. Read my comments.
b. Is that your defense for this blog? HAY HE DID IT TOO, LEMME TRY, ITL BE HIRARIOUS? You're 36, dude. Grow the fuck up.
c. You want me to tell Rorschach that what he's doing is dumb? Fine. I will. Because it was. Still doesn't defend this blog.
d. the only reason I commented is because this is the umpteenth time you're doing this. I almost believe you crave the attention. Just let it fucking go- we get it, the 360 has problems. But so do the PS3, Wii, DS, and PSP. There's no perfect fucking console. Stop it already. You know exactly what's going to happen when you do this type of shit, and yet you do it anyway.
e. Forget it, its not worth the time. Do whatever you want, but don't respond, because I'm not paying attention. I'm fucking done with you. You're not worth the resources.
I own a 360, and I found this article to be quite funny. While the problems never happened to me, I know they can happen. People in here are taking this way too seriously. WAY too seriously. Even if he is "secretly" trolling it doesn't really make a bit of difference guys. Something that will solve your problems, get all three systems, the end.
Oh and that old response of "this was a joke too", Bullshit and you knwo it. You could have posted a single comment on the original blogpost with all of the "points" you made here.
I notice how there were no ironic blogs about any of the PS3's that were bricked with the new firmware. M'just sayin, discriminate equally or shut up.
this is better than TV, and probably better than flash uno! although i'm not sure about chatting with 8 people and getting to watch a movie together, while on your own couch!
Wow.. personal attacks, age droppings, troll labeling..? Notice I called no one anything derogatory of the kind here.
Because I put up a JOKE blog to counter Rorschach..right down to using his own pic. Psssst..I own all the systems. I could care less. I just think it was hilarious to see blogs about FF XIII and offered the other side.
The only one upset here are the ones flippin' out over this..not me. This doesn't affect me at all. If it has nothing to do with my wife and kids..pffft..I could care less.
Toughen your skin up gents..it's only video games.
While I originally thought this was sorta humorous, the comments kinda destroyed any sort of humor in this. Plus, it's simply not as clever as Rorschach's post.
Also, replying to flamebait with another flamebaiting blog only to go and get in a fight over it is kinda retarded. And by kinda retarded I mean really fucking stupid and immature.
"Wow.. personal attacks, age droppings, troll labeling..? Notice I called no one anything derogatory of the kind here."
Just because you're careful not to actually insult anyone directly doesn't change the inflamitory nature of this blog. Rorschach's blog was a witty little insight, this was just flamebait. And, like yourself, I could care less about who "wins" this generation seeing as how I own all three current gen systems already.
I blame the dtoid leaderboards. This place sort of went downhill after they were added, and people started posting troll blogs just to elf up. ELF UP JIMBO!
Yojimbo knows how to get himself some comments, that's for sure.
Yojimbo, you are a silly old man.
Rorshach was just making a point. To a lot of people this has been a deal-breaker. A lot of people were waiting to buy a PS3 just for this game.
@ EDS
Yes, arguing about such an insignificant thing is just silly. Everyone will get to play it now and Square Enix will get tons of money to make the Square Enix Smash Bros. game I want. You know you want it too. That would be a much better reason for a petition.
Destructoid is an open discussion community. You don't need to "audition" to post a comment - just speak your mind. We respect differing opinions on the site, so have at it. Be smart, funny, insightful, clueless, or cute -- but back it up with substance. Keep your cool, keep it fun. We only ask that you act respectfully and above all: don't be a troll and ruin it for everyone else. Don't bring down gamers or we'll, you know, gently shoot you in the face and stuff you into a flaming mailbox. Each comment is your opportuntity to make this community awesomer. Is that even a word?
Avoiding the banhammer only requires common sense: spamming, trolling, racism, NSFW stuff, and other forms of sucking will not be tolerated. If anyone is griefing please report abuse. Be good. Don't suck!

I love how you have STFUAJPG up there but managed to go off in a butthurt manor towards Rorschach's post.
It was a joke. Chill, guys.
You're a fucking asshole. Seriously, Rorschach knew what he was getting into when he put up the post for flamebait/jokes, and now you're just feeding it?
Jesus fuck, Yojimbo. This is going to spiral out of control fast. God damn it.
Vexed Alex:
This is a joke too.
You have a lot of problems happen to you that have never happened to me. I feel sorry for you.
You forgot one Yojimbo. They could stack all their old XBOX360's that got a RROD there. It would be like a monument to Microsoft's failures as a hardware company.
Just a thought.
No, dude, this isn't a joke. If you have any fucking sense, you know that you're going to cause more controversy with this, and then the moderators & blog recappers will have to deal with this shit, all because you thought it would be funny to react to flamebait with more flamebait.
I didn't see you give Rorschach this BS. Oh wait..it's funny when its someone else or about another system..lmao.
What? No "Memento" comment for me?
@ OBGYN:
So it's ok for 360 fanboys to post flamebait but it's not ok for anyone else to respond? Everyone's supposed to just sit there and take it like a bitch? Not everyone lives life like you, apparently.
Way to save face. Now on to the KEEP PHINAL PHANTUSY OFF XSUCKS 3 SHITTY petition.
Double the pleasure, double the fun!
Wrath, do not start this needless drama andHeretic, please do not respond, its not worth it.
I wish one of these HD systems would just hurry up and win already. It's tough choosing between the big noisy one that breaks down all the time and the big noisy one that's too expensive and has sucky exclusives.
Whoa, whoa, whoa there, motherfucker- a. I JUST said that Rorschach posted flamebait. Read my comments.

i want to see some bitches fight mang
OMG guys what's the big deal? He doesn't like the 360, let him be.
Personally it's my favorite system, but it keeps breaking. I'm sick of it right now
Wow. Shit hit the fan quick. I'm impressed.
Double Standards are awesome!
Don't worry Yojim, dogs may bark, but they have no bite on teh innernets.
Also since when was the current console war this important. PRO TIP: They are all equally disappointing.
Damn this is nuts....
LOL that is all
@Gynecologist Cobra
"You're not worth the resources."
Are you talking about the bandwidth at your mom's house?
You forgot a skillet to cook eggs on your 360.
lets all just agree that eggs rock and RONBURGANDY2010 needs to get punched in the face
I own a 360, and I found this article to be quite funny. While the problems never happened to me, I know they can happen. People in here are taking this way too seriously. WAY too seriously.

NOT THE FACE!!!!!!
Damn that shit storm looks rough! Luckily I'm in VA and out of harm's way...
@ Electro Lemon:
Sign off now before I tell your mom you're on Destructoid again and you get your 360 taken away.
I do in fact agree with MrSadistic.
Alright, this is getting way out of hand. There is really no need to make fun of the kid for living at his parents.
YOU DID IT WHEN YOU WERE 16.
Duh. You kind of have to, by law and all. Till you're like 18. Ya know?
Fight! Fight! Fight!
lmao, clever post jimbo,
also, what was it this afternoon after the press conference, atleast 3 c-blogs, omfg!!! xbox haz phinal phantasy !!!!!!!!!!!!
come on now, the post was witty imho and like was stated, is just a joke, whats the big f'n deal?
Great, now there's a fight going on and I'm about to get hit in the face.
Electro Lemon is probably smarter than any of these pathetic fucks, EDS. Leave them to their shit talking.
God dammit Yojimbo
Whoa we've got grown men talking down to a 16 year old. Must make you feel like some tough motherfuckers.
I just think it's a real shame any of us are fighting at all, like this shit is life-changing.
Regardless of what console you sleep with at night, you still have to leave it at home in the morning and go about your life.
It's all meaningless in the end.
Hahaha... flamebait. GTFU, all of you.
Oh and that old response of "this was a joke too", Bullshit and you knwo it. You could have posted a single comment on the original blogpost with all of the "points" you made here.

Less FFXIII, more PaRappa amirite?
i <3 dtoid
this is better than TV, and probably better than flash uno! although i'm not sure about chatting with 8 people and getting to watch a movie together, while on your own couch!
ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE! ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE! ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE LOVE! LOVE IS ALL YOU NEED!
RonBurgandy: Dude, die.
