Kinect Claims Its First Busted Television

An unlucky gamer accidentally ruins his HDTV during a round of volleyball in Kinect Sports.

Think Kinect's $150 price tag is a little steep? That's nothing compared to what it cost one Xbox 360 owner.

In a blog entry titled "Yes, I Am The First Moron To Break His TV With Kinect," Phil Villarreal posted an image of a television devastated by a clumsy night of Kinect Sports. He also offered the following words of advice:

"A public service announcement: Do not under any circumstances play Kinect Sports Volleyball at 1:30 a.m. while standing under a ceiling fan with a dangling chain for a light switch. You could conceivably spike it into your year-old amazing TV, causing it to die with a rainbow LCD teardrop dripping down from the impact wound.

"Plus you'll lose the match by forfeit."

At least the guy appears to be in good spirits about the whole thing. Besides, somebody has to bite the bullet and sacrifice their television during any new motion-controller launch. It's pretty much an unspoken rule.
