Not to worry, there's always someone nerdier

Great model, nice video, clean hands, nifty idea, but what's up with the emotional song? OK, I agree that Rammstein wasn't the best choice either but with a Celine Dion song I could have watched it without actually crying. Oh and, the thank-you-for-all-the-games part, I didn't quite get it, either. It's not like the Xbox 360 needed a memoriam for being in our lives for decades. It was released in 2006 for Christ's sake.

Anyway, you have to admit that it's kind of funny with all those "all-you-need" instructions, having to use firm paper after downloading the PDF file. And it's true, all you need are the two upper mentioned items, along with a pair of scissors, some glue and a measuring tool if I'm not mistaking.

But now that the Elite is out, wouldn't it have been more appropriate to just release instructions for a 3 inches cardboard Elite model? Then the sentimental words and song would go well. You know: "Microsoft's 3rd gaming system... mighty fast of them!" that kind of thing .Not counting improved SKUs of course (Xbox 360 Premium). Although, the Elite sounds like an improved Xbox 360, it could be classified as more of a different model, than an improved one. You have the black case for starters, not to mention the HDMI output.

Overall, it's a nice video and a great thought to express one's feelings towards the gaming system they love. Although some may classify these acts as "nerdy behavior," I can't blame people in love with games and their gaming systems. I hope I'm not messing up my image with this (not that I had one to begin with) but me and my brother used to spend Sunday morning cleaning up the PlayStation console with cotton and alcohol. Can you get worse than that?
