We just missed nabbing the perfect Etsy item to send to a friend or love one that has gone through a recent tragic loss... of their Xbox 360.
This Blinged Console Condolence Card sports a hand-crafted "red ring" of red crystals on the front of the card, and the inside a message reads ""May this card help console you during this difficult time. I am very sorry for your loss." The word "console" is silly/brilliant wordplay.
I love this: it's snotty, mean, and creative all at the same time! The thing is, it couldn't have cost more than $3 to make. I'd like to see a more creative type integrate LED lights into the card front, and then maybe put some Microsoft support information inside the card.
[Thanks, JV]

This must be setting up to be a slow news day.

So you can see the News of the future? Interesting...
P.S. I also love the "console" play-on-words, very punny.
Don't worry you'll probably get another chance sooner or later.
