I’ve got to hand it to Microsoft, because they certainly do know how to ring every single last cent out of a product. The Xbox 360 already makes cash from Live subscriptions and advertisements, and now, it’s adding fast food to the coffers.
Provided that you’re in America of course. And that your stomach has an adamantium lining that is laced with a touch of vibranium, which would allow you to survive food from the McDonalds of pizza, Pizza Hut.
The Pizza Hut app will allow hungry hungry gamers to do away with that archaic Pizza Hut website and go straight to the menus to order themselves some pizza pie. And of course, the whole thing is better with Kinect. So if you don’t fancy using a controller, prepare to blissfully wiggle those arms and scream in vain at the screen.
When you’ve ordered some quick grub, the app will then save that data on your Xbox or PizzaHut.com account, and will also allow you to Facebook share your adventures in cholesterol.
And that’s how you make money kids. And dammit, I want a localised version of this anyway. I’m already hounding our local Xbox 360 reps to tell the dashboard monkeys here to put apps for KFC Zinger Wings and Guinness beer on the dashboard, but no dice. They ain’t budging.
What kind of fast food would you like to see appear on your Xbox home screen?

How about some GAMES appearing on the home screen?

Anyway, so kinect you say? I can see so many orders that don’t make sense.
No! No! Remove that topping! I don’t want a prawns and lettuce Pizza! NO!!! NOO!! *waves arms* don’t accept that! NOOOOOO!!!!

Can there be a different SKU? One that has no HUD, no internet port, no trophies or AP, no hard drive and one slot for a memory card, so every cent of my money is going towards my 30 year old hobby of PRESSING START AND FCKING PLAYING THE TVGAME!!!!!… please…
Oh I forgot, its called the PS2. The last true console that sold over 150million units for a reason.

And even Ninty shafted it’s poor users with the Gamecube. A standalone games machine would never survive. I know people that bought the PS3 3 times after each time it broke out of warranty just to play Blu Ray movies.
Food for thought 😉

Now I’m thinking about the ads people are going to get. Someone’s busy jamming his CoD & he/she/it gets a sweet popup message saying, “Hey bro, I see you’ve been playing for 3 hours… aren’t you getting hungry? How about a pizza?” Then there’s finicky controls for saying yes or no & millions of pizzas are ordered by accident & it’s too much effort to cancel the order because that interrupts your gaming & now that you think about it you are a bit peckish.

It’s amazing how these ideas just flow once you realise evil is more fun 😀
They also want to bring back TV series like Heroes? Well, take a poll of which characters people like the most & make people pay micro transactions to have them appear in scenes while they’re watching. Of course, you’ll have to be always online for that…

Maybe I should apply there. I also have another idea about using the Kinect 2 to check out your furniture & send you some suggestions from IKEA.

You used to get the double tower rounder (double filler double cheese) and for R2 extra you could add a piece of pineapple. This double down thing is just to much chicken on chicken action and that motherfucker is greasy as shit.
But here is a another one: Mighty king steer with double down, beef chicken beef chicken beef

That my friend was the legendary double crunch. I’ll be telling my grandkids about that one.
Your mighty king steer combo is missing one thing: bacon.
