Not with consoles. Not with CPU. Not with GPU. Only ASIC's are worth it and there will be a time when they wont be either.

lol yeah..it just sounds funny when someone says mine with something otherthan the ASIC's..! pretty much the only real deal..others r prettymuch useless...with the level of difficulty there is..these days!

Does anyone have a picture of this? I am curious seeing an Xbox mine bitcoins xD

I heard that someone mined with like hundred of Playstations 3. Playstation has very powerful cell processor in it. If moded right it can be really cost effective, especially now. But well, ASICs are still better options if you want to hardware mining. Or invest in cloud mining. Your choice.
It was through linux the old ones allowed it linux to dual boot out of the box, they're not good for Sha (bitcoin) but maybe for some CPU coin but I don't know if actually cost effective.

Even if you got power for free the fat you burn pushing the power button will cost more than what you will make in a year.

Possibly a modded Wii or a modded Xbox ORIGINAL, the others don't have enough security breaks to allow mining. The PS3 used to be able (through linux) but the newer ones don't allow linux so say if someone jailbroke it and made a mining package it is possible.

Now consider this, you won't make a damn thing, this is due to their weak power and they would use much much more electricity then any coin made.

In theory you could mine with almost everything. Every electronic device has some potential if is powerful enough... But please you would be better selling your consoles rather than trying to mine with them. They are not build for it.

If you want money better sell them instead of mining...

That's a better option

Is there anyway to mine using consoles?

Yes you can, but you won't get anything out of it, it is designed to let you play games not mine.
