We have all faced this monstrosity. When we need to unwind the most, we discover that yes, that screeching noise your console was making last night was a bad thing indeed.  Now it is time to say good bye properly, welcome to the "Retirement of Gaming Consoles: Do's and Don'ts"


Don't Smash your console against the wall or T.V "check out our next guide- Retirement of T.V's".

Do calmly unplug it's cords from your outlets and T.V and  prepare it for it's eternal rest.

Don't Throw it off the highway bridge, or shove it into the compressor at work.

Do put it in a box and either dig a rectangular hole in the ground or start collecting fire making tools.

Don't swear at your console for breaking when you were stupid enough to put a Record into the  disc tray.

Do remember your moments together fondly, say a few words of remembrance.

Don't drop it into the ground or freak out when you improperly set it on fire.

Do slowly place the console into the ground, surrounded by your favorite games that you played on it, light the funeral pyre/bury the console.

Don't walk away and buy another console...yet

Do stand there for a moment, in a respectful manner, no stop looking bored.


This has been the Do's and Don'ts guide to Gaming Console Retirement.
