I just got an XBOX 360

I had dinner last night at my parent's apartment in mid-town. After dinner I went to the trash room. There, I met a lady who was throwing out a present. When she saw me she said 'You can have it' and handed me a nicely gift-wrapped box. I didn't say anything. I found out later that the present was meant for her boyfriend but he apparently did something awful to her and she decided to throw it away. I'm torn between keeping it, giving it to my brother as a present (his birthday was on Monday and I just sent him a text as a gesture), or finding the lady and asking her for her number and the receipt. She has a great ass and I need something like that in my life. By the way, the XBOX was the Modern Warfare edition. I pulled up to the house about 7 or 8. And I yelled to the cabbie 'Yo homes smell ya later'. I looked at my kingdom I was finally there to sit on my throne as the Prince of Bel Air

I added a few sentences at the end for ya. 😀

I thought that's what you were alluding to. But I've never heard of women or any part of a woman being called a 'box'. Is this an inside joke or something?

For those not believing me, you don't have to. I got lucky and now I may have something to use against my brother the next time he refuses to lend me his camera. I don't want to keep it because I already have a PS3 and I don't even play many games on it (I have 4 games, total) so this gaming system would go to waste in my apartment.

So, it finally comes out; you only have four games for your precious PS3. LOL
 
This reminds me of that Vonage commercial where the nerdy guy is with the hot chick in the Ferrari & all he is excited about is that he got Vonage.

All at heavily discounted prices too. I even got my PS3 for $35. I thought I made it it clear that I'm not a gamer, at least I don't have enough time for it.

I don't read them that heavily, but it seems like you have a representation as a ps3 troll in the console forums. Now that you say you only have 4 games and don't play often, I wonder why you invest a (seemingly) large amount of time debating ps3 and xbox.

If this situation actually occurred I suggest finding the woman and returning the xbox to her. She shouldn't be throwing away money like that just because she's angry (as someone said, just return it to the store...). Barring that, might as well liquidate it for some cash.

The PS3 is meant to do a lot more than play games. When discussing it, it is almost never about games. Instead I talk about the quality of the hardware, namely, how the XBOX 360 is extremely unreliable for such an expensive electronics. If I get such a reputation, I could care less cause I'm just stating the facts.

As for returning it because she was being irrational, well, women do a lot of irrational things so I'll just consider it one more. Do you ask them to return one of the hundreds of shoes they purchased but only wear once? Do you ask them to stop buying makeup or clothes? No. Besides, it's good for the economy.

This. This particular woman is motivated by spite or whatnot. Regardless, I just thought of a much better solution. Go donate the xbox to a children's hospital or something similar to the Child's Play thread stickied up top. I don't know if you could give something you already bought to CP, but I'm sure if you contact your local hospital they would be happy to accept it. That way you stimulate the economy, do a good deed, maybe even get a tax deduction of some sort.

You must be confused if you think I have any guilt over what happened here. I don't. I just happened to be in the right place at the right time. I don't mind giving it away, perhaps to soldiers serving in warzones (or my brother). But I won't give it to children who would be better served with learning materials.

I'm not saying that you have guilt, you just seemed unsure about what to do with it. And I disagree about kids in hospitals being better served with learning materials, but it's late and I'm tired so I'll just leave it at that.

Regift, if it is unwanted. Give the lady a thank you note, too.

Gift card? If I was to return it after Christmas, however, I wouldn't need any proof.

if i were her.. i'd tell ya to fuck off... you take a "gift" .. and want to return it?

good way to turn her off before getting to know ya.
 
If you're in a giving mood: You could sell it for cheap to some lower income family, then buy toys with the money to donate to some charity.
