where my ninjas at?

Xbox 360 acquired and my general verdict regarding this console is WHY THE HELL DIDN’T MICROSOFT COME OUT WITH THIS PIECE OF SHINY SHINY LOVE SOONER?????!!!!!!11ONEELEVEN!!11

I have a fear that Xbox Live will be the new crack for me and Oblivion…..oh sweet Oblivion, you are such delicious eyecandy.

I’ve only been tinkering around with this new console for the last three hours but it looks like my poor little gaming beast PC has found a new replacement. Now, if only Microsoft would get up off their arses and provide backward compatibility for old games such as Burnout 3: Takedown and Jet Set Radio Future, then I would be most content.

If you’re one of the few smart monkeys that owns a 360, add me as a friend. I’m Lookything on Xbox Live (see gamercard to the bottom left of screen)

deconstruct.me.uk is on holiday until I get around to figuring out whether or not I’m going to renew hosting for another year. Call me lazy or too preoccupied with my soon to be cherished little Xbox 360 but hosting this site isn’t high on my list of things to do at the moment.

(selfish cow, aren’t I?)

If you were reading that last bit carefully, you’ll have noticed that I did mention that I was getting an Xbox 360 and I’ll be getting that cute little baby come 9am (not long to go now)

I’m loving the huge retail war that’s suddenly sprouted out of nowhere. I preordered my baby and I’m hoping that the kind folk at EB Melbourne Central sell me my console for $628 instead of $649 (I love the power of pricematching in the morning). I’m stunned that BigW and JB HiFi have gone and dropped the price of the console to $628 and $618 respectively and also dropped ALL Xbox 360 games to only $75.

I’m still unsure as to which games I’m going to buy. Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter looks damn sweet, as does Project Gotham Racing 3. The question that remains, which game should I buy?
