I am a single blogger. I’ve no girlfriend or even anyone I’m actively dating, so this Valentine’s Day I’m going to be drinking whiskey at a rock show here in Seattle with a couple adorable girls I know as we commiserate about being in that unenviable position. But you, you’re a stud. You’ve got a wife or girlfriend, some of you both, and you need to impress her on the 14th.

And as you’re a CrunchGear reader, she’s likely compatible with your geeky sensibilities. That’s why you need to find a gift to express your love and also your shared interest in classic dot matrix printers. Or something.

What ever kinky and geeky thing you come up with, you’ll want to use a nifty presentation. The video above shows you an excellent way to make hollowed out sexy book into a thoughtful, neat way to get a gift, complete with music playback.

Normally on Help-Key we try these things out and document them for your enjoyment and education, but since that would send me into tears and sadness, we’re not today.

That being stated, I’d love if some of you more fortunate guys (and girls!) were to try this out and tell us here how it goes. Just because I’m not happy doesn’t mean you can’t be.

In essense, you cut a hole in a book, put your sexy inside, and make a little playback device out of Radio Shack parts. If you’re signif is geeky enough, he/she will just eat it up. All that thought and effort will pay off, and you’ll owe it all to me. And the video above. And to your good looks. It was my charm, though.

2008-02-08-108.jpgIs the SeXbox 3600 too much SeXbox for you? Now there’s a slightly cheaper version available in Japan that strangely mirrors the jump from the real Xbox 360 Premium to the Xbox 360 Core. Here’s how we figure.

The 3600 comes with a roter (vibrator), lotion, and a costume. The Core comes with the roter, lotion, a condom, but no costume. You could technically get the job done without a costume, like you could without a hard drive, but it’s not really pleasant, if you know what we mean. And a condom? That’s like the memory card. Kinda unnecessary for the task at hand. If there were a SeXbox 3600 Elite—and there’s no reason to think that there wouldn’t be—we imagine that the beefier package would also have a doll.

Oh, and the Wiin Remote is also available. It’s just a vibrator, which makes the “Wiin” sound in Japanese. [Akiba Blog via Kotaku]
