A Kansas man cannot bear the idea of being without his favorite gaming device, so he risks his life to save his Xbox.

OLATHE, KS - If your house was on fire, what would you grab as you ran out the door?

A Kansas man woke up early Friday morning to find his house engulfed in flames.

He ran out the door empty-handed, but then went back in to grab his Xbox!

I would not even consider going after my video games. The only thing I would consider saving is my computer because it has all of my media projects for my business but only if I were positive I would make it out alive.

IF I thought there was a 100% chance of making it out I would grab my laptop, not because it isn't irreplaceable, but because it does have irreplaceable pictures of my son on it. I would also wish to grab photo albums containing irreplaceable photos of my own childhood.

They didn't say if it was an XBone or 360. I wouldn't cross the street for either one, but I'm really curious to know which one he had.

I wouldn't grab a damn thing. I'm not sentimental and all the pictures and videos the fiancee has are backed up elsewhere.

I'd grab a lawn chair and wait for the insurance people to show up.

Backup data.

I'd be in way more serious sh-- if my laptop fried if I didn't have all my important files backed up.
