The aftermath to this is going to be interesting, haha

 

[Marvel]

Reminds me off this 4Chan prank I saw XD:

I feel kinda bad for laughing at that... lol.

 

[Marauder Shields]

I'm torn on this kinda stuff. While it is funny to a degree, preying on the ignorant is pretty dickish.

 

[rrs]

The name of the command should be a clue as to what's going to happen. Also I wonder what fun you can do with the dev console being apparently all open and exposed.

 

[MADGAME]

People with the sort of mindset that coincides with this or similar pranks will always get what's coming to them in life. Always.

Thanks for the PSA, OP

 

[Nibel]

Oh man, I really hope this won't affect the security of the system

No need to get hacked by FIFA Ultimate Team scum again :/

 

[Kimo]

I could try this at the demo stand in the store.
Oh no xbox one not released in the netherlands yet.

 

[AlexMogil]

It's sad that I know there is ALWAYS someone who gets fooled by this stuff.

Wow that guy is really gullible

 

[RumblePuff]

Another iPhone one: The new iPhone is waterproof! Test it yourself! No idea if anyone fell for it, but I'm sure someone did.

Here we go:

There was another one that went around after that saying that the update turned the iPad into scales so people were standing on them to weigh themselves.

 

[Uncle Rupee]

I could try this at the demo stand in the store.

Operation Xbrick commencing

 

[kyser73]

Ahhahahahaha.

Surely tho, this is like picking on disabled people.

 

[hoos30]

could this be the ***storm a certain insider was talking about?

Three weeks after release, I think it's time to give up the ghost on the ass-storm.

 

[DownLikeBCPowder]

Stealth MS sales strategy at work..?

 

[Fredrik]

Wow, that shit is hilarious. Sucks for that dude. I bet he received a few bruises from his dad ha ha.

Lets just hope it's fake, laughing at a kid getting beat up by his dad is wrong in all kinds of ways

 

[hokagespit]

Yea, there aren't very many "demo stations" that are playable, just there for show.

yeah those are fake half boxes. the hook ups are real though! the display image is running through a media device with a sd card in it.

 

[PodcastFips]

They left developer consoles on retail units?

This has to be a joke. Right guys? Guys?

 

[Neuromancer]

So has anyone here verified that this works? For science?

 

[Pillville]

EDIT:

So beaten that I deleted my post.

 

[Hesemonni]

I refuse to believe anybody would actually do this...

 

[stang6604]

the "code" actually works but it will brick your console unless you have a dev id from MS to put in. they haven't started releasing them yet.

[Rocky]

I feel kinda bad for laughing at that... lol.

Don't feel bad. It sounds to me like the "victim" of the prank was faking. For one thing, he said his dad would be home in 10-15 mins and it takes a bit longer than that to get to the XP setup screen he posted.

 

[gundamkyoukai]

Man this going to suck for some owners when they break there systems .

 

[KnockOneOff]

Should of called it "how to enable the secret sauce"

Lol

 

[The Cartographer]

Go-Go-Xbone!

 

[Volcane]

Do you have a dev kit, if you don't add the freezeone bit? And is it possible to do anything?

 

[Tesseract]

What kind of evil people create such images? Sheesh.

some man just want to burn the ones and 360 away.

 

[HORRORSHØW]

It's a feature.

 

[Graphics Horse]

I could try this at the demo stand in the store.
Oh no xbox one not released in the netherlands yet.

MS dodged a bullet there.

 

[Zaibach]

No, you're making this up, no company is that STUPID

 

[-Horizon-]

Reminds me off this 4Chan prank I saw XD:

This can't be real

But then again I remember that one thread with the dude asking for advice for a girl and always ended his sentence with (´･ω･`) or something and I'm not sure if that was real or not either.

 

[KMS]

If your significant other has seen this and you own a XBO for the love of God, what ever you do, DON'T PISS THEM OFF!

 

[la flama blanca]

No, you're making this up, no company is that STUPID

Microsoft is.

 

[Ramma2]

Here's some less harmful fun for the office workers today.

 

[Ricker]

How about just pulling the cord,the reboot sequence will probably stop no...? it's a stupid prank for sure but this can solve the problem no...?

 

[Clear]

Apparently if you change the sandbox ID at all from the default, you risk getting stuck in a boot loop.

MS actually released this warning themselves after the dev console got revealed in a YT vid!

There was a piece on Eurogamer about this earlier in the week.

 

[Nokterian]

Well, some people fell for iOS7 making your iPhone waterproof. The bar is pretty low.

Is this real? If so oh my god i am laughing so hard right now.

 

[EdibleKnife]

No, you're making this up, no company is that STUPID

The company that let this through just might be.

 

[liquidtmd]

Quick, whoever does this - I've got a scan of a photo of an Xbone to sell to you for £450

 

[Omega]

This can't be real

to this day im pretty sure it's fake

wouldn't be the first time someone lied on the internet.

 

[Brofield]

When the Wii U dev mode gets unlocked, you find forums for "dummy games" that slowly come true (Yarn Yoshi...Resident Evil...Donkey Kong...what's left, Metal Gear Solid?)

That's the Nintendo touch!

 

[Roshin]

If true, it makes you wonder what else MS left in the box and if the PS4 has any hidden surprises.

 

[Ramma2]

Yeah.

 

[KoopaTheCasual]

They left developer consoles on retail units?

This has to be a joke. Right guys? Guys?

I don't get it. Weren't people excited and "impressed" by this a couple of months ago, when they said every retail console can be a dev kit?

 

[Marvel]

Quick, whoever does this - I've got a scan of a photo of an Xbone to sell to you for £450

 

[Off-Kilter]

to this day im pretty sure it's fake

wouldn't be the first time someone lied on the internet.

 

[BPoole]

Reminds me of the iOS 7 Waterproof hoax

Edit: Beaten

 

[Nokterian]

iOS7 making your phone waterproof was one of the funniest 4chan pranks.

Oh goddamn that is some epic trolling!

 

[God Dayumm]

Pretty sure CBOAT created this to ensue the assstorm that didn't happen.

 

[-Horizon-]

to this day im pretty sure it's fake

wouldn't be the first time someone lied on the internet.

But what if you're lying to me that that was fake? How deep does this rabbit hole go?!

 

[Mirk]

I refuse to believe those iphone ones. I just can't...
