Why lust after a
Zunephone when you can have an Xbox 360 Sidekick LX? Based on an admittedly bizarre and entirely painful-to-watch video posted up in the read link, Soulja Boy is seen spazzing out over what appears to be a special edition Sidekick LX. The unit is branded (at least in the software) with Xbox 360 logos, and there's also a copy of
Resident Evil: Genesis on there that he toys with momentarily. So, the question here: is this thing legit? On one hand,
Danger does have a thing for pumping out
limited run Sidekicks like they're
going out of style, and plus, it would probably have a hard time convincing an A-list rapper to carry a prototype Sidekick. On the other, we're really inclined to believe this is just a sad way for Soulja Boy to fill up his inbox with soulless emails. "SouljaBoyTellEm@tmail.com -- holla atcha boy!"

soulja boy an a list rapper? clearly u guys are on crack.
hes garbage and hes like a porn star trying to act

He doesn't make rap music he makes ringtones, and didn't know people till are into sidekicks...... The fact that Soulja Boy has one is an indication that you should more on to a new device.

its real!? wow...

It makes perfect sense. Since Microsoft owns Danger, and the tweeners love playing XBL, why not combine the two?
Now, having Soulja Boy promote your stuff is NOT the way to go if you're going to try to reach anyone outside of 9-14...but then again, who else outside of that age range would buy a sidekick now anyway.

That joke people call Souljia Boy is proud to have a LE Sidekick? I personally would be happy but I wouldn't show it off to the world...Maybe a LE iPhone or a blackberry, N96, I dunno, a phone that is atleast kinda decent to brag about....another epic fail for that kid...

so tired of everyone cappin on sidekick users---there are plenty of us out here over 30..its a good phone for what it does, and it
serves its purpose with me and everyone i know that has one, as far as im concerned...i have had one since the orig
sk, and have not been able to find a phone to switch to that does what i want, the way i want...there are plenty of "tweeners" that
have iphones too...ya know?
Christian Walters @ Aug 22nd 2008 7:27PM
yessir, I totally agree with you about sidekickers gettin crapped on, and I ESPECIALLY agree about the 13 year olds runnin around with iFoanz....I mean comeon!

YAAAHHH! Naw, I have the new Sidekick 2008 & you can just download/buy the game in the Download Catalog. I'm not sure if Microsoft & Sidekick are planning a limited edition phone. It would be cool, but the 2008 or the LX model probly does the same thing, you just pay more?
max123 @ Aug 23rd 2008 3:24PM
im not saying that this is fake but if were he could have downloaded a 360 theme and had his lx colorwared but it does make since that there is a 360 sidekick
tev50cent @ Aug 23rd 2008 8:35PM
that is so stupid it will be outdated as soon as they make the xbox 360 portable with the skype network and more but it would not be like that he prolly just dowloaded the screen as a promotion
Ray @ Aug 24th 2008 1:44PM
if soulja boy was trying to be 'cool' he would have an iphone. sidekicks arent cool anymore
EMaster @ Aug 26th 2008 6:27AM
LOL I can;t beleive this kid. Wait until his screen stops working or for the unit to stop getting signal and needs an exchange lol.
