I'm surprised that original Xbox even floated. That sucker was really heavy I thought. You were definately spared by the gaming God's like Miss X said. This story is funny, but it almost makes me want to call up Myth Busters to see if an Xbox would really float.So, a few years ago, there was a horrible flood in our area, and we had like two feet of water in our basement. At this time we had both an original Xbox and a 360. Well the 360 survived only because it was on top of the floating Original.
