Buy millions of Xbox 360's to the point where it overtakes the Wii. Would make for quite a story.
Not really though ... would probably transfer a good portion of it into gold so it is safe in case of a currency collapse. Beyond that, I don't think I could really plan it all out unless I was actually put into the situation.

$1B would only buy you 5 million X360's i'm afraid. However if they cut to $150 this holiday you could get 6.25M

Plus with all these gift cards that they give out these days! Just saw a 360 for whatever the price is with a 25 dollar gift card in last Sunday's paper.
Remember that guy in the 90's who tried to buy that Jet plane in the Pepsi commercial. When they recieved it they kindly returned his money or bottle caps or whatever he had? This just reminded me of that.
If you buy all these 360's make sure you buy them in Japan if you can. That would really cause a stir there!

They had some sort of promotion that if you buy enough caps or something they would give you stuff, well in there commercial they had a Jet plane like the one in True Lies land in a guys yard and it said 1 billion or million tokes and this could even be yours. So this guy bought that many tokens which I think were worth 5 cents a piece or something. Pepsi from what I remember returned it all and said it was not real.

that sounds like a compelling case, it seems like he should have won.
