An Xbox Live baby is born (warning: cute)

Well that's adorable. It turns out that not only is your Xbox 360 a perfect platform for fragging n00bs and otherwise pwning the denizens of Xbox Live, but it's also a fertile place where love can bloom. Behold Victoria Marie Figueroa, the product of a relationship sparked over Xbox Live between Stacy and Mike, two gamers from Georgia and New York, respectively. The two met playing Rainbow Six Lockdown and, according to Stacy, "hated each other." Apparently they got over it.While the story is definitely sweet, it also presents the perfect opportunity to deliver some advice: under no circumstances should you place an infant on top of an Xbox 360. Those things get hot. Also, there's no telling what kind of damage a baby could do to a 360 if left untended.
[Thanks, Matt Volk]

Luckily the system is off =)

So, are they cooking that baby?

The 360 had a human baby eat that sony and your cell processor
ps3 cures cancer
360 has babies.

As long as the baby isn't lying on the power supply it should be fine. Otherwise it risks incineration.
Seriously I'd be more worried about the 360.

The wonders and joy Xbox Live brings. Eat that sony! You and your fancy schmancy system is no match! Oh and thanks for crediting me for the tip. You guys rock!

Does the 3 year warranty cover a brown ring of death if her diaper leaks?

Looks like these two got their $$$ worth of the XBox Live fee. Where's my baby??? I'm a paying customer too!
Roto13 @ Mar 17th 2008 6:53PM
That baby is totally going to grow up to be a racist now. :(

More importantly, you shouldn't let a baby sleep on its stomach.
Afton @ Mar 17th 2008 7:21PM
That 360 looks sweet.

Well Remember that guy in the Army that was a Featured Member??... He had some swearing in his profile and my friend filed a complaint against him and then he was banned for a day... lol I think we should to it to this current one. and every live member that gets featured from now on.... File complaints against this one because they left their baby on top of a 360. then maybe M$ will realize that they need to revamp thier Feedback system. I got banned for 2 day for having a** in my profile. and when i type a** it was a** not ass. a** is not a swear word. BTW Microsoft... I'm tired of these little kids on Xbox Live when your suppose to be over 18 to play online.... Parents today are just too f**king worried about themselves then what thier chlidren are doing on Live or the Internet in general. I'm tired of trying to talk over little kids and thier whiney voices. BTW this kid on this 360 better not touch it again untill its atleast 16.. Damn... ;=(
Meximan @ Mar 17th 2008 7:32PM
Oops... ^^ that one was @ Adam and MrBlonde. My B. ;)
Mr.ESC @ Mar 17th 2008 7:36PM
So what? aren't most xlive users just big babies? :P
Cute but that's completly unsafe.

Her first words are probably going to be milk,mom,f*g or N¨gg*r
(Am I the only one amazed by the fact they met in the xbox live? I mean that sure just powered the improbability engine)
Russ Tundra @ Mar 17th 2008 7:40PM
Adam... PS3(Piece O' Sh8T) has Cancer and also delays games a half a year. (i.e. GTA IV) while the 360 Cures Cancer and Has/Delivers babies at the same time.. lol

I LOVE GOLD!!!!!
Deck @ Mar 17th 2008 9:38PM
That's one shiny faceplate!
Oh.. and that is a nice story :) Never heard of it happening over XBL, normally that's in MMO's!
SovietSpartan @ Mar 17th 2008 9:47PM
So one could say the the "war on terror"
brings us closer together
/sarcasm
Caleb Frost @ Mar 17th 2008 9:55PM
I read the story on Xbox.com and it wasn't Rainbow Six Vegas it was Rainbow Six Lockdown :(
Kahlus @ Mar 17th 2008 9:55PM
that's a good looking xbox!
B1gg Randall @ Mar 17th 2008 10:03PM
wow....ur going to report someone....You and ur friend are whats wrong what XboxLive.........
Aaron Lewis @ Mar 17th 2008 11:59PM
I really hope I win this...I never seem to win things like this, and it would be a pretty cool asset to my living room. I had to sell my old xbox(1) so it would be cool to win an elite with that good old nostalgic look seeing as I'll never be able to afford getting this myself.
B1gg Randall @ Mar 18th 2008 2:33AM
^ wrong topic lol.....
jimmygotsmack @ Mar 18th 2008 3:14AM
Ahhwww, How precious, the chrome, not the baby.
DiFiasco @ Mar 18th 2008 5:41AM
Warning: Author is stupid...
Boff @ Mar 18th 2008 5:57AM
Who needs an incubator when you have a 360??
Nice pic BTW.
Phizzy @ Mar 18th 2008 9:12AM
Oh no... It's a Core system! O_O
Big Filth @ Mar 18th 2008 9:54AM
disturbing to say the least.
Matt @ Mar 18th 2008 1:19PM
thats just weird
JaseH @ Mar 18th 2008 10:44PM
Would be pretty funny if the baby grew up to be a PS3 gamer.
Muahahhaa.

I really want to get i touch with Stacy-Victoria's Mom. I found out about your story from My daughters teachers. She mistakenly thought it was my daughter because my daughters name is Victoria Maria Figueroa and I also live in Georgia. If you happen to see this please email me. mamifig@yahoo.com. Look forward to hear from you
