Sealed Xbox 360 Game Found in Unexpected Location 14 Years After It First Launched
A sealed copy of an Xbox 360 game was spotted in an unlikely location nearly 14 years after its launch. Microsoft ended production of the console in 2016, but the system and its many games are still pretty common sights.

Reddit user King_hack9 shared that they found a Kinect that was part of a CT machine, which some claimed was actually not that unusual of a sight considering that the peripheral was pretty advanced for its time and could be used for a variety of things.
