  the boy will receive an authentic piledriver

  Excuse moi?
  
  Anyway, why does MS have to erase signatures? Why can't they just leave them as they are?

    Probably because the console he is getting back isn't the console he sent in.

  If they can get backstage passes and organise for the kid to be piledriven (just quietly, WTF?!?!) then surely they can get the signatures redone for him? It's not that big a deal...

  I heard about this before.
  
  I too, was wondering "WTF? Kid gets a piledriver? That can't be right...."....Unless it is 'for fun', with 'no hurting involved' >_> You know "ZOMG! 'Wrestler X' did a pile drive on me!" type of thing....

  Who gets a video game console signed by wrestlers anyway?

  Once again there's more news of the stupidity of MS service centre. I think that after the Nathaniel incident they would have some sort of policy on this. I know this is some jerkoff working at the Service centre, but come on.
  
  But I wish I'd have a 360 with some sigs on it and then it RROD on me and I had to service it. Imagine all the free stuff I could get!

    In both cases it's definitely someone doing it on purpose. These signatures you have to scrub off, they won't just disappear with a quick wipe.

      Well their job is to clean them...who knows how many people write shit on their xbox's...not to mention stickers and shit.
      
      It'd be pretty hard to distinguish if the Signatures were real or not. Which means I could could just write a bunch of shit on my xbox...wait till' I get it back and then say that it was signed by a bunch of A list actors or some shit.
      
      Not that that's what I'm saying is the case here...Nathaniel was the original and this kid is so young...and wrestlers Signatures more or less worthless to most.

        They were specifically asked not to, though.

        I agree...If you ask for them not to erase they shouldn't.
        
        It's just a hard request to honor. It goes through who knows how many stations.
        
        They should probably just adopt a policy to not clean Xbox's with writing on them.

  I don't know why, but I seriously think that this is nothing more than a 9 year olds attempt to get the good pack that 'Nathaniel' got from Bungie + MS.
  
  The picture you see of the boy from the original article, is far too small to make out any signatures.... I wonder if any of them were authentic.
  
  Course could be that he is telling the truth, but I just get the feeling that a few more people will try to get goodies this way now that they know about it...

    That isn't the case since the child's mother explicitly asked to have the Xbox 360 case left intact. It's pretty difficult to send off a signed machine and force Microsoft to clean it.

      I doubt it. I think it's more of a case of what Existenz said. People just aren't getting their original consoles back. I know I got a different console back after I sent mine off with the RRoD.
      
      Check the serial numbers, guys.

  This is exactly why signatures should stay on paper.

    Seriously. If I got my 360 signed by some famous people, you cna bet your ass that I would buy a new 360 and put the signed 360 in a bulletproof glass case with guard dogs watching it 24/7.
