Microsoft's 2008 net income,
according to Google Finance, was $17,681,000,000. Since there are 31,557,600 seconds in a year (assuming a year has 365.25 days), Microsoft actually needs 1 minute and 29.24 seconds to pay off the $50,000
Even if you use their gross profit of $48,822,000,000, you will need 32.32 seconds!

Fuck it, even if they pay him the $50,000 that's about 4 seconds profit for MS.

On more serious matters, I don't think this fellow was tilting his consoles while playing, to render three of his game discs unplayable. The original article at the
Madison County Record only mentioned that he played it conventionally for a few hours.
The only mention where the changeover from horizontal to vertical orientation is mentioned is in an
application for a Class-Action lawsuit, representing everyone who's ever purchased an X-Box 360 before July 18, 2007. Yahoo Video Games may have accidentally conflated the two stories...
So I wouldn't be so quick to judge this Jason Johnson fella for stupidity.
(Also, Skills is the sane and well-reasoned voice here. What is the world coming to...)
Jam it back in, in the dark.
