Anyone have use for an xbox 7900d?

...7900d?

Yep.

D'you want it?

[Looks at it a little closer] I'm wondering if it's even compatible with my tv.

[scratches his head] Probably not. When're you from?

When? What an oddly strange question to be asked! I'm from 2007, when did this thing get made?

[dismissive 'pff'] You're still using plugs.

Early 2500s. 2515 was the year I picked it up, but it was a little outdated by then.

[Crosses his arms] Not my fault.

I see... Say, but couldn't you hook me up with a tv from that time period? Then I could play it.

Never said it was.

Of course I could. I'd just have to pry a certain whiny someone off it first. Hold this? [he offers the xbox with one hand]

I hope you won't get yourself into trouble doing that.

[Takes the xbox and also the opportunity to have a closer look at it]

[an amused snort at the thought of him being in trouble with Mickey Smith and then he poofs out ... and reappears a full minute later with a wide, smooth screen and what looks like two ping pong balls]

There we go, all set.

[Well he has to ask, doesn't he? So he points at those ping pong balls] What're those?

[practically beaming] They're the connectors. You pop one in here like-- [he inserts one into an indent on the back of the screen] See? And the other in that hole there. [gestures at somewhere on the xbox]

Bit like the wireless controllers then? The guys back home won't believe this actually works...

Better, no batteries.

[as if he's imparting some very serious knowledge] Just ... remember to sleep.

Really??

And I'm not such a hard core gamer I'd forget...

Yep.

['pff'] Neither am I.

But... Is this all still going to work when I take it with me? And are you really going to give it to me just like that?

I'd assume so. I ate someone else's sandwich last time I was here, don't see why you can't mess about with this. Unless, like the paradoxes, the usual rules of alternate realities don't apply.

And why not? I don't want it.

Just seems like something expensive to give away to strangers.

So, where's the on button?~

[blink, because the Doctor sometimes forgets that money matters to other people] It was discount.

Just connect the other globe and it should turn itself on.
