What's the deal with huge recreations of video game consoles and accessories lately? Last week we talked about the massive Atari 2600 joystick, and there has also been some huge NES pads in the past. We also recently saw the super-sized Wii Remote, which doubled as a storage cabinet. Now another gamer shows off his storage solution, and this time it is styled to look like a giant Xbox 360 console.
This three-hundred percent scale upright Xbox 360 console replica even features a glowing light ring, and it opens up to store magazines, cords, and ...magazines. The owner makes sure to stress that it would also store "anything I'd want, really." Good to know.
I know this isn't a competition, but I like the super-sized Wii Remote better. It seemed less complicated and more elegant. Also, there was less mouth breathing involved in its demonstration.

Is there supposed to be an embedded or a picture there on this article. I can't seem to see anything other than text. When I refresh to page, it leaves a space the size of a youtube video, then shrinks back down.

Does it come with the red rings? The video doesn't want to work for me

Anyway, it would be a good idea to have one of those to use as a fridge, where you could store the beer and ice-cream.
