[Xbox] Re: Not so nice: parents play Xbox 360 gift packaging prank

Actually, it's pretty funny. If I had a kid who bugged me constantly
that he wanted something I couldn't afford for a present, I'd
consider pulling a prank like that too. Although I wonder where they
found the box at. I bet they did really give him the Xbox later
since they had the empty box.

When I was a kid, I used to get presents in old boxes all the time.
My relatives would get me something and then put it in a cardboard
box so it would be easier to wrap and harder for me to guess what it
was. I got a lot of clothes, action figures, and toy guns that way.

That's funny! The only possibly mean thing about it was posting it
on YouTube. I'll bet the kid's "friends" at school saw it and made
fun of him for his reaction when he went back to school.

may want to take a cue from this family. Jonathan, a kid who
apparently wanted an Xbox 360 for Christmas, was handed his Christmas
gift by his parents: an Xbox 360...box. Thinking that the prized
console lay waiting inside the packaging, Jonathan opened the Xbox
360 box only to find winter clothing stuffed inside.

who watched the video footage of the prank sympathized with Jonathan,
and even tech site Engadget offered to give him a console. However,
it should be noted that the video description in Youtube somehow
hints that he got the Xbox 360 in the end. We'll never really know
for sure, as the confirmation video promised never went up.
