- how do you not have like a thousand of those USB power plug things lying around your house? -- nm - oblique Feb 3, 07:15 2
  - It's more of where the power outlets are in the room with the Xbox that's the problem. -- nm - spamlet Feb 3, 07:20 1

Looking for a Chromecast? Best Buy has them for $35 but you get a $10 gift card with your purchase. -- (link*) - Krusty Feb 3, 07:03
