Last week, when I attended the "Launch Event for Visual Studio Team Edition for Database Professionals" at Microsoft's office in Bellevue, WA, I won an Xbox 360 (Full System). Cool! I didn't feel too good about it though, as we already have one and we had to bring it back to Norway.
We did bring it back, and decided to sell it. To get some attention in the middle of the Christmas fuss, we created the following message:
Subject: We got a new Xbox
On the night of Friday December 15th, at about 01.00 AM Norwegian Time, little XB came as a surprise to both parents.
(And then boring technical details about it.)
We did get some questions about it, and did sell it in the end. Unfortunately, it seems that US Xboxes will not work in Europe after all. We've contacted the buyer. Seems we might have to sell it on Ebay and ship it back to where it belongs.
