360 wristbands for a good cause

A 360 Fanboy reader pointed out these cool Xbox 360 wristbands for us today. The wristbands are available at Best Buy (in store only) for $1 dollar each. The proceeds from each band will be donated to the Boys and Girls Clubs of America. Specifically, proceeds will go towards teaching computer skills and helping children learn to use technology in creative ways. No doubt, this is a diabolical strategy to recruit the next generation of XNA developers.

We know that 360 fanboys will be shopping at Best Buy this holiday, why not pick up a few of these as stocking stuffers?

[Thanks, Archangel004]

1. I've had one since early summer. haven't taken it off a day yet. unlike the livestrong-themed wristbands, these ones will actually show your support (most livestorng bands were purchased because it was a fad; thats why [almost] no one wears them anymore) These however are more likely to get you labeled as a nerd or something so it takes true support to wear one. i guess i should end this with a '360 FTW'

2. I'm shocked that you guys just discovered these. They've been around for quite some time now. I brought some home for my family when I went home for a birthday visit (in July). Definitely a good cause and the phrases on them are pretty cool too.

"Life is your game."
"Challenge me."
"Life is short. Play."

Stuff like that.

(In fact, after obsessive wearing, I just broke two of them...gotta get some more.)

3. I bought my 360 at Best Buy on launch day last year and they had these wristbands than. I've seen them in the store every time I've been there since so it's faaaaar from new news.

4. yeah i've known about these for a while. from this post: http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/2006/04/03/support-charity-and-look-good-doing-it/

i picked up a few when i got a 360 in march or so. purchased extra just in case because i thought they might have been limited edition or something. idk.

but i've been wearing mine since then. and it makes me look like a total badass lol.

6. Wow, oldest news evar.

I hear they are coming out with PS3 wristbands, but they're going to cost $10 each and all proceeds will go to Sony to recoup the losses on PS3 units. :p
