Injured Welsh rugby star played Xbox all Summer

[Zeus]

Young Welsh Rugby forward Ian Evans has not played competitive rugby for nearly a year after undergoing re constructive knee surgery. And in order to pass the time while he recovered he admitted to having a long ordeal with his Xbox console and give it a 'real hammering'.

<blockquote>
"It was tough and very frustrating at times," said Evans, who is amongst the replacements for the Ospreys Magners League game against Glasgow on Friday evening.

"I would get so bored with not being able to do too much, that I would grab the X-Box and give it a real hammering. At one stage I was worried that I might work my fingers to the bone!</blockquote>

Wow, if you're for real then you really need to get a new hobby, or formally announce your employment by Microsoft PR. You sad, sad person.

The Wii price drops to the same as the 360 arcade next week so it ceases to have the "best price" (not taking into account the fact that you really need to invest in a memory card or HDD for the 360 to appreciate its full usefulness).

And "best thing ever"? I think you'll find that's something like "the wheel" or "fire", you know, things that are more or less necessities to most people.

Also, the fact an injured person plays a console (irrespective of their "fame") while they're recovering is a pretty sad excuse for news.

My last-gen chipped xbox does most of what you're going on about anyway.

Thats because xbox does nothing... its the worst thing ever made and even noob athletes who dont know a thing about gaming are falling for it (shame but i blame the workers in the game store) xbox has nothing to offer. Its a rehad tool and a entertainment system and a game console as well as a streaming media center that doesn't deliver.
With the best price in gaming but you do get the cheapest made hardware with unbelievable failure rate and the hugest ultra boring game library this gen and outdated technology like useless natally its no wonder its the choice of those who are clueless about gaming like kids,superstars and celebrities globally.
