Gamer’s erased Xbox 360 story comes to a happy close

Friday, March 7th, 2008

Filed under:

Like they say, all’s well that ends well — and that’s certainly true in the case of a gamer named Nathaniel. If you’ll recall, the Xbox 360 owner had sent his very personalized console into Microsoft for repairs, making very clear that the signed and drawn-on system had great sentimental value to him… which the technicians in Redmond promptly ignored. After the console returned to him wiped clean of the aforementioned “value,” it seemed like all hope was lost. Luckily, the kind souls at Bungie have taken it upon themselves to try and right the wrongs perpetrated in this case, and have mailed Nathaniel a super-ultra-mega awesome package, featuring a Legendary Edition helmet signed by most of the Bungie studio staff, the soundtrack disc signed by Martin O’Donnel, a jacket, t-shirt, limited edition wireless controllers, and much, much, much more. Hit the read link to get the full story, and check out Nathaniel’s thanks to the gaming community and Bungie.

[Thanks, Saad]
