Around the middle of May this year, Fable II developers Lionhead ran a competition to coincide with the release of their “See the Future” DLC. The prize was to be a unique Fable II branded Xbox 360 console, signed by the Peter Molyneux himself. A fellow going by the internet monicker of NeoxDonut won the highly sought-after prize – only later to be smacked in the face by the fist of disappointment.

It’s not what’ you’re thinking – It didn’t red ring on him. No, the *ahem* fabled machine – it turns out – is a chimera of sorts, the bastard result of a monumental cock-up. The hanckocked shell, you see, is that of a first generation Xbox 360 – y’know..the old ones without HDMI. The guts? Yup…newer and with HDMI. The end result is that the hapless winner is left with a barely useable console.

    Surely someone turned it on once before giving it away, just to make sure it worked and all…
