Man serving home detention opts for prison over Xbox

4.5
If crime were punishable with 11 months of solid video game downtime, this world would be chaos.

One New Zealand offender begs to differ, though: according to a report in the New Zealand Herald, a 19-year-old has opted to go to prison rather than spend the last month of his home detention term playing Xbox.
According to the report, the offender was "sick of playing Xbox" and "had run out of Xbox games to play." To combat the horror of replaying video games, he'll spend the final month of his detention term behind bars.

He even admitted that if police didn't jail him, he was at risk of breaching his home detention terms.

I can see Xbox getting tired after awhile, but I can find other things to do besides that, plus anything is better then jail, that place is bad news.

I dont think anyone here can actually comprehend how boring xbox is , if your not allowed out of your house, are barred from doing certain things within your house, possible scheduled and non scheduled visits from a law enforcement or other to check you are abiding by the terms, having to depend entirely on others doing your shopping, sorting any stuff out at banks etc that you cant do from home , and the only few options for months on end is the go on your computer, play on xbox or watch tv it will get relitively boring quick considering currently there isnt a whole lot out that must be appealing as its the void before game releases but just far enough after games are still pricey new and secondhand but everyone has already spilled whats happened in storylines etc.

Troy20202020 Wow your all so dumb! The reason he wants to serve his last month in prison is because he basically has an ASBO, If you don't know what that is look it up. .. So his ASBO will not allow him to leave home or something for 12 months (this is an example) so he decided to play xbox and because Xbox is so boring he wants to breach his ASBO (go outside) and if he done that the police could extend his ASBO for even longer, That's why he offered to serve his last month behind bars, so he doesn't breach it! ... All you children will realise one day how **** xbox(and all other consoles) actually are!!


if you don't like consoles why are you a member of this site and dont say for pc reasons that's like 4% of the site


I'm on this site because i used to be a sad swetty kid just like most of you lot. Selling jtags/rghs, playing xbox, modding games, But i then woke up one day of how **** Jtas/RGH's are, including xbox & there's more to life than sitting in on a games console. You little kids will realise that one day lol.


Uhm, then why do you STILL come to the site. And don't throw that 'kid' nonsense around here. You're only 18. You're still a damn kid yourself. And an ignorant one at that.

Bead Who gets bored of Xbox? You have online games to play with friends and people to talk to and tons of stuff to play. It just doesn't make sense. I guess I could see that maybe every now and then you might get tired of the same game, but simple just play a different one.


He doesn't have to just play X-Box, you know? Like get on youtube or something!
