BOX CLEVER For most gamers, the humble console box is nothing more than protection for their shiny new machine. Destined for the loft, they’re filled with books and gather dust, never to see the light of day again. But new research indicates that, in fact, they’re also equally suitable as high-powered weaponry. Who knew? One Australian retailer took it upon themselves to build their very own Titan from discarded console boxes. Parents take note. It could be a very, very cheap Christmas for you this year.
