While perusing local sales listings, an Xbox fan has discovered a strangeXbox 360lamp that seems to function as advertised despite its peculiarities. Since theXbox 360was released in 2005, it has been used for a handful of things beyond the intended purpose of playing Xbox titles, but one fan has seemingly turned the console into a conversation-starting piece of furniture.
A Reddit user has stumbled upon an Xbox 360 lamp listed in their area by a highly-rated vendor for a reasonable price while browsing Facebook Marketplace. Similar to finding amazing deals onretro games at a garage sale, gamers can often discover incredible hauls on Facebook Marketplace as people sell off their collections to others that may have more appreciation or a use for them. Although the Xbox 360 is often sold alongside a controller, games, or its appropriate cables, this 360 lamp may only include the power cord necessary for providing electricity to the light bulb on top.

Reddit user DLZ05 recently shared a screenshot of a Facebook Marketplace listing for the aforementioned Xbox 360 lamp that shows the console successfully illuminating a room with a hint of yellow using a small bulb. The light bulb of this lamp is located off-center on the top of the console where the Xbox 360 hard drive would normally be inserted to expand on the base model’s initial storage capacity. Based on its appearance, the white Xbox 360 is seemingly one of thelaunch day Xbox models, making it among the oldest versions of the Microsoft console, and judging from the photo it has seen better days.
The image shared by DLZ05 lists the Xbox 360 lamp for 15 pounds. The Facebook Marketplace seller has garnered nearly five stars based on 85 reviews which may lend some credibility to the listing and how well the product will function. Though the Xbox 360 lamp is being hailed as being “upcycled,” it’s currently unclear if it still has any of the internal components that may be useful for players that need parts to repair theirXbox consolesor if it has been entirely gutted to accommodate for the additional cable running through the machine.
Because this Xbox 360 has seemingly been drilled into in order to power the light bulb on top, and it isn’t listed as a functioning machine, it’s unlikely that the console can play games.
