He couldn't even find 2 other friends to pretend to play the game, with the promise of maybe, possibly, getting a cut of the profits. Second Contestant: Let's Burn my XBone This one is just dumb because he wants people to pay something he should be doing for free. You could donate money to feed people starving in war-torn contries, but instead, consider helping this person burn their XBone because no one will buy it. quote:$5 - I will write your name on the Xbox One as it is burned, and send you a personal thank you note for supporting this.
