MOD POWER ABUSE
STOP TROLLING THE XBOX ONE, YOU ARE NOT THE FIRST PERSON TO MAKE THE JOKE AND IT'S STILL NOT FUNNY

 

[MetroidPrimeRib]

This is some Indiana Jones shit

 

[convo]

what.
I didn't expect this

 

[R3TRODYCE]

Ha, that was real...

 

[jaypah]

Lmao, no fucking way?!

 

[TheVanillaGorilla]

Any news on numbers? I knew deep down this was true!

 

[Hayama Akito]

Wow, looks in too good shape to be true... but is a Major Nelson tweet so...

 

[RE_Player]

Wonder how many they'll find.

 

[LithiumSpade]

No way...this is actually true?!

 

[Dwight Schrute]

Has to be viral marketing for the Nerd movie ? Can't belieive it !

 

[SappYoda]

why

 

[Lucian]

Cool. Thanks, I was just looking for updates on this!

 

[Crayolan]

I can't wait to see how AVGN reacts to this...

 

[Exr]

Hahahaha it's true

 

[TenaciousNorth]

hahahaha excellent

 

[Courage]

I have a feeling we just got cursed. Incoming plague + tornado, RIP gamers.

 

[Dee Dah Dave]

Microsoft should make this game the first title for Games With Gold on Xbox One

 

[kuroneko0509]

Finally it is a truth!

 

[Seraphis Cain]

Wow, looks in too good shape to be true... but is a Major Nelson tweet so...

Isn't Microsoft sponsoring this whole thing?

Not trying to imply any conspiracy here, by the way. Just sayin'.

 

[Penguin]

Wow and other games

Guess had to do something with the inventory.

 

[Souldestroyer Reborn]

Wut?! I'm confused

 

[Zing]

Going to need more info. Is this "the" landfill? Because, probably every landfill in America has a copy of ET buried inside.

 

[gundamkyoukai]

So it was true.

 

[Zapages]

I wonder how much will these be worth…

 

[Etzer]

Whoa

 

[KINGofCRA5H]

What's the story behind this?

 

[5amshift]

I wonder how much the landfill copies would sell for.

 

[MNC]

NO FUCKING WAY

Is this for the documentary that was being shot? I heard a lot about it on the bombcast

 

[teraMEL0S]

Pretty interesting that this ended up a true story. I also find it interesting that Microsoft is supposedly making a documentary about this, among other tv content.

 

[jaypah]

I always wanted this legend to be true. THIS BETTER BE ON THE UP AND UP!

 

[MayMay]

No way :O Awesome! lol

 

[Seraphis Cain]

And yeah, AVGN can't be happy about this. :lol He goes and makes a movie about the ET landfill, and this happens before it's even released.

 

[Endo Punk]

Too soon. The myth was fun, now.. we have nothing. Might as well cancel the Angry nerd film.

 

[HUELEN10]

Wait, people actually thought the story was fake?

 

[RoKKeR]

Holy shit, crazy!

 

[Pop-O-Matic]

Now to dump the Xbones in their place.

 

[a Master Ninja]

I'm going to need to see a lot more than three copies to not think these were planted there by the producers of the documentary.

I ain't falling for that Storage Wars bullshit.

 

[Hoo-doo]

Look at that casually placed Microsoft Surface.

 

[Sojgat]

LOL amazing.

 

[StalkerUKCG]

Woah, Really!

 

[Jimmyfenix]

HOLY SH%T Missile Command ?

 

[dreamfall]

That's wild! After all those years, they dug'em up!

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

What's the story behind this?

Microsoft is doing a documentary on it as one of their TV projects.

 

[jello44]

Wut?! I'm confused

E.T. was an Atari game that was the bomba to end all bombas.

They had so many unsold cartridges that they buried them in a landfill in Arizona.

 

[TheGreatLugia]

I can dig it.

 

[maquiladora]

NO FUCKING WAY

Is this for the documentary that was being shot? I heard a lot about it on the bombcast

Yes, this is for one of the TV shows being filmed by MS for Xbox One content.

 

[Slowdive]

Haha wow.

 

[Santiako]

hahaha awesome

 

[Hurley]

They just opened Pandora's box. We're done for.

 

[breadtruck]

Some things are better left buried
