Guys, Please Stop Blowing Vape Smoke Into Your New Xbox
If you were one of the lucky ones that managed to cop the Xbox Series X console earlier this week, the guys at Microsoft have a message for you: Cheers for buying, but also please stop blowing vape smoke into it because it's making the new machine look faulty af.
