Man chooses jail to escape playing Xbox

6 June 2013

A man under house-arrest in New Zealand has asked to serve the remainder of his sentence in jail because he has become “sick of playing Xbox”.

The 19-year old has served 11 months of his 12 month sentence, but has now “run out of Xbox games to play” and is happy to go the slammer for his remaining month.

The man called the police to tell them that he would breach his detention if the police didn’t pick him up and take him to prison, which they did.

I wouldn’t mind a 12-month house arrest, maybe I’ll finish up some of the extraordinary backlog of games that I’ve managed to neglect.
