You know how people sometimes take things to far? These people did. An AV club in Wheat Ridge, CO took two dozen 360's and set them on fire, creating a massive bonfire in celebration of the upcoming game, Killzone 2. Sigh, with all that money spent on those 360's, they could have bought the game four dozen times.

WHEAT RIDGE, CO – Commuters on I-70 gawked at the massive bonfire that lit the night sky over the highway yesterday evening. The fire, built by the Wheat Ridge High School AV Club, burned into the witching hour before WRFD extinguished it around 5AM this morning. At the bottom of the fire pit, a surprise: local firemen found two-dozen smoldering Xbox 360s, repurposed as kindling, which had fused into a glob of smoky white plastic.

George Robert, the eighteen-year-old President of the Wheat Ridge High AV Club, took responsibility for the ceremonious burning, calling it a “statement piece.” With field reporters and onlookers forming a half-circle around the flames, Mr. Robert set the stage for a call to arms not just for gamers, but, in his words, “self-respecting citizens” across the greater Jefferson County area.

“The time is now, destroy 360s we will,” preached Mr. Robert to his fellow club members and any receptive passerby.
