If my house were on fire, I'd let my PC burn.

But I would run through the flames to find my copy of NOLF. And when I get outside, and realize that I forgot to get NOLF 2, I would go back in again.

I'm guessing that if his XBox was that important to him, that he probably didn't have anybody to come to the funeral.

I'm sure it would have been a beautiful service.

Like people say he probably did not go in for the console, but for the things saved on it. Still not very smart but not as dumb.

I might try and save my pc and external drive as there are a lot of stuff saved in there that is unrecoverable but I would not risk my life for it.

I would be curious to know if the xbox is responsible in any way for the fire in the first place. I mean : which electrical junction box are we talking about ?

Well, on his gravestone it probably reads something like:

Here lies
THE XBOX GAMER
So busy trying to save his Xbox
That he forgot to save his progress

Heh ^^

It would even have been more funny if the Xbox was the cause of the fire and doesn't work anymore.

Even for our dirty hobbies?

Especially for those. ;)

Probably had his Morrowind saves on.

A true hero indeed, lol.

So did he unlock an achievement for doing that?

No, but I'm sure microsoft will send him an xboxone in the mail, any publicity is good publicity.

LOL, good one!
