To follow-up yesterdays anti-Microsoft tirade, today I traded in my dusty, old unmodded Xbox for an Xbox 360 Elite. This is teh 1337 new Xbox 360 that features the “massive” 120GB Hard Drive, HDMI port, and “premium black finish.” Yes, black is premium now. And here I thought it meant impure and unclean. My bad.
I bought the Elite mainly to be a Windows Media Extendor, and for its HD DVD playback. So I purchased the HD DVD Player. And since it’s being billed as the “ultimate in gaming,” I figured I better pickup a few games. So I grabbed Burnout Revenge, F.E.A.R., Gears of War, and Need for Speed: Most Wanted. I also bought an additional Wireless Controller with two Play & Charge Kits.
I may have gone a little overboard, but at least I’m not one of the suckers bidding $800 or $900 for this thing on eBay. I had a pre-order through Circuit City, but I canceled it when I heard GameStop was taking old Xboxes as trade-ins. And let me tell ya, they had plenty in stock. It almost makes me feel bad for the idiots that were buying peoples pre-orders on eBay. But it doesn’t.
Anyway, I may not be a leet gamer, but my console is … so I want to test this fucker out. I lost my old Xbox LIVE Gamertag, but if you have any of the above mentioned games, look me up. My new Gamertag is: bOWb.
