Title: I have the 360.
Post by: Wickedly Yours E on May 26, 2006, 11:45:53 AM

With these last few weeks being a royal pain, I decided to enact my plan to get a 360 earlier than planned.
You see, This semester I took a Self-Paced Math course to brush myself up on the basics. I finished it early, and have been working extra hours in the bookstore on the days that I had this class. Using this method, I had saved up enough money to purchase a 360 + game. I had planned to wait another month, but I figured, Fuck it. I got enough for it, I'll get it.
So I ended up getting the Premium 360 Package, Fight Night Round 3, and a spare Wired Controller. My history with wireless controllers has been.....problematic, so I figured I'd pick up a wired controller both as a second player controller AND as a backup.

I'm enjoying Fight Night Round 3.

Is it as disapointing as a second generation as everyone says it is?

Word has it that Ghost Recon, Project Gotham Racing, and Burnout make having it worthwhile.

I like it. There are a few games coming out I"m looking forward to, though I'm debating on Chromehounds.

I'm such a whore. I paid 230 points for the Halo 3 picture pack and theme.

Oh, on Live you can purchase all kinds of things from personal pictures to "themes".  The themes work in the same fashion a theme for Windows does.  In his case, everything on his dashboard is now 'Halo' styled.

Technology as a whole is 100 times more justifiable than a bag.


A bag.


Besides, points are $12.50 for a 1,000.

I could say the same, but I gotta agree, why the fuck are you paying money for skins? If this thing is so internet capable and such, why aren't people making free ones and stuff?

They were points sitting on my dashboard for well over three months. I had nothing better to spend it on.


There are free skins, but not many of them are even any good.


They made FOUR X3 skins, all for free. Yet the Halo 3 one is 120 points. Man, gay.

I ain't paying anything for shit like that. I'd rather get a program that lets me customize my own desktop.
I'd have Phoenix Wright all up on there. Oh Yeah. In fact, The Startup sound for the 360? I would change it to "OBJECTION!" in a heartbeat.
