Angry Father Nails Xbox To Tree
- A time out.
- No dessert.
- Nail that Xbox to a tree, dammit!
Lest you think this punishment too harsh, the kids' mother -- who by the way posted this story on CNN's ireport Web site -- says the action was appropriate and that the kids don't hate their dad.
The shattered unit is available now on Ebay, with half the proceeds from the sale going toward the Hanover County School system and the other half to the kids' college fund. In return, you get a pile of junk, since we're pretty sure nailing a gaming system to a tree trunk invalidates the warranty. [From: Joystiq.com]

I thought Halo3 was on the Xbox 360?
bobbyAug 20th 2008 12:56PM
Xbox and Halo were the references not Halo3! Halo is the first addition only for Xbox and can be just as much addicting. Its kind of a dinosaur game and the kids probably made crazy enough to nail on the tree on purpose so they could get the Halo3 version. But if they get Halo3 on Xbox 360 it will probably get propelled out of the house with the squirrel trap or perhaps "stickied" to a tree, pun intended for you Halo3 Players. By the way I am Dontbaloser999 on Halo3 and I can drive the heck out of the ghost and Warthog so make sure you get the plate number of the vehicle that hits you.

Why did he nail the kids' XBOX to a tree for playing Halo 3? They can still play Halo 3, considering that game is for Xbox 360, and not the original. Either this article needs a fix to get the fact straight, or that redneck dad is a tech moron.

obviously you are not a parent...................sometimes drastic measures are required for drastic situations
NotageekAug 20th 2008 9:45AM
Is that really the point of the story? Tech geeks are so funny...intelligence with Tech usually means socially retarded.
Sara JonesAug 20th 2008 10:39AM
It never specified that the kid was playing Halo 3, it just said Halo, which by the way is for the original XBOX.. Get your facts straight before you jump to conclusions.
sheri mcgeeAug 20th 2008 12:27PM
you must be a kid. x=box or x=box360 the damned thing will no longer be controlling the little brat who needs a knock out, not a time out.

Way to VA dad! It's great that someone "punished" the source. I put my sons in the trunk, he'll never find it. He would b outide in the sun. Again way to go. One great parant skill.
BrianAug 19th 2008 4:15PM
Wow. CNN fails with this nifty little report. This kid had a "zombie-like" addiction to Halo3, or so they claim. Please, take notice that the system nailed to the tree is the original X-Box system, which for those of you who are not gamers, is obsolete and cannot play Halo3. This story is a hoax put on by an anti-creative mother. I pity the silly person who bids on that thing on ebay, the money is probably going to the parents and no where near a school or college fund. CNN, do everyone a favor and learn your sh1t, actually do some research before publishing such a crap article. I believe I speak for all gamers when I say "/article"
With all due (obviously very little) respect,

Thanks for showing us that you are a pathetic game boy. How dare they confuse a video game! Want me to teach you how to throw a ball or talk to girls little fella?
angelaAug 20th 2008 10:32AM
by the way it does not say haol 3 it says halo. read it right before u put ur 2 cents in..
sheri mcgeeAug 20th 2008 12:27PM
why is what exact generation the game box is such a point for you? I get the gamers. I really do but it isn't sh9t just because it isn't referred to as x-box 360. Which by the way is too much technology. Wow, it does everything and i'm teaching mine to walk the dog and do the dishes.
BeckyAug 20th 2008 2:49PM
The point is that it doesn't make a difference what the heck halo number the kid was playing or whetehr he was playing checkers. He evidently being a rude little zombie and his dad had to "break him" of such nonsense....thus...the device being nailed to the tree. Way to go dad...I hope you beat his little smart butt while you were at it!
RGrooveAug 20th 2008 5:33PM
And you, my friend, fail reading comprehension. Nowhere in the article is there any reference to 'Halo3" only to "Halo." Maybe someone should nail YOUR XBOX-WHATEVER to a tree.
PratikAug 19th 2008 4:45PM
The article never said anything about Halo 3. It could be the original Halo or Halo 2, which will work on the first Xbox. L2Read, people.
O;l JoeAug 19th 2008 4:50PM
Hmm, I am still trying to find where it says it was Halo 3 they were playing. Only reference I can find is simply, Halo.
Maybe you need ot reread the article or how do they say it, Think before you speak? Or in this case, Read before you type. ;)
BrianAug 19th 2008 4:53PM
i believe i speak on behalf of the other couple first commentors, the article was changed, it definitely said Halo3 originally
MjubileeAug 20th 2008 7:35AM
I think your just trying to cover your own butt. You look foolish and so now your trying to blame it on a slick article change....whatever!
matthewAug 19th 2008 9:33PM
Way to go Dad.
tassjtp1Aug 20th 2008 6:48AM
Wow....ok first off you people arguing down there shutup second off of course the kid hate their dad he nailed their system(although cheap) to a friggin tree and third off anyone who buys this on ebay should just give up on life and kill themselves because apparently they have no life to start with
