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!

tell me more.. i havent heard this before

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.

1. I'd create big publishing studio and call it DGP*
2. I'd buy Obsidian
3. I'd buy Larian
4. I'd find whoever is still active among people who created Homeworld/Freespace/Steel Panther's/HoMM
5. I'd start making Space sims, hardcore rpgs, turn based strategies
6. And then watch how gaming pseudojournalist pussies cry over difficulty levels, complicated mechanism and old school solutions with demonic grin on my face.

I would buy Manchester United, pay off the debt, invest in the team if SAF want's investment and expand Old Trafford to 96,000.

Bet half of it on black, the other half on red so I walk away even.

Then go buy a house, a Ferrari 458 Italia, an Aston Martin DBS, and a bunch of stuff for my house. Then put the rest in an offshore account where the government can't take it and put it into social programs I don't support.

Two things come to mind.

There is this asshole singer called Luis Miguel who thinks he shits gold and everyone should treat him like a god. I'd set up a fake surprise birthday and make my parents pretend to surprise me with his presence in my surprise birthday. The fucking guy aks for like a million dollars for presentation, I'd make my parents pay him up. Once he enters as my surprise present from my parents. I'll fight my parents and tell them: "What is this shit? This fucking worthless scum is my present?" Then I'll tell him to fuck off and let him keep the 1mil if he wants to as long as I can clean the floor with him.

Other option would be setting a Spec Ops team. Rehearse and follow through an operation to steal the mantle which supposedly touched Jesus Christ face and keeps His blood. I'll have it stolen and then make up a cloning
lab in which I could clone Him back and see what happens just for fun. My guess is that the confused Guy will desperately try to nail himself immidiately to the nearest wall.

Or he will smite you down with in seconds! :P

Maybe if he bring his security along, but fact is that Luis Miguel is an old fart and I could break his legs before he throws the first punch.
