michael, do not listen to these unhelpful individuals; they only wish to make jokes at your expense. Here is what you must do to rectify this unfortunate situation.
First you must write down the serial number and any other official looking numbers, plus take photos of the xbox from every side. If it looks broken from any angle, omit that photo. Print these, or burn them to CD, and store them in a safe deposit box, or alternatively, store them in a locker at the airport and mail yourself the key.
Next, go to an electronics emporium and buy a new xbox. Save the sales receipt, but tear or otherwise deface a small portion of the bar code on the sales slip. Then, go to the Microsoft web site and find the page that describes how to make a warranty claim.
Here is where you must be very careful to follow instructions EXACTLY. Put your broken xbox in the new xbox box and sell it to some other stupid person. Tell them it is new. Give them the receipt. Lie your head off. Tell them anything. They are stupid and will believe you. As soon as the money is in your hands, leave town and never come back.
It is just that simple.

Good lord. We're reduced to this?
Learning to code and writing some sort of show-tune related game is clearly the only way way forward.
I feel slightly cheap for insinuating that all homosexuals are fond of musical theatre, it's true, but that said, I am confident that even that cheap shot is raising the tone somewhat.

matt, you may have stumbled upon the perfect idea.....
With the abilities available through the new Kinect controller the whole tap dancing show tunes thing just might work.
