I am a hardcore Nintendo fanboy. I am not afraid to admit that. I been getting some Nintendo love since I was born. I was very lucky that my father had bought my sister a NES back when it was out. I played Super Mario Bros. (even though I wasnt good at the time). But anyways through out my life I have only owned two non-Nintendo consoles. One was a PS1 (the small grey one) and a xbox. I only got the PS1 for Tony Hawk and I only got the Xbox for Star Wars Battlefront 2. Both consoles I got late in their lifetime. But for the first time I'm getting a no-Nintendo console early on. I can not wait eithier. I'm getting it for Christmas and I am luck to be getting this. My mother has never been one for secrecy. When ever she got my Christmas presents I was eithier there or told her what to get. She never hides it well. A couple of years ago she just quite hidding presents. She has all the presentsin the loft right in front of my room. It is very hard for me to walk outside my door and see a huge 360 bundle staring at me. I got my console from Costco by the way. Its the Pro model and has a extra controller and the play-and-charge kit. I also am getting Mass Effect. I am so happy for this stuff I'm for getting I am getting three Wii games from toysrus (bwii, moh2, and m&s: atog). I can not wait. The only problems I am having here are waiting till Christmas and getting the 360 online. I dont have a modem on my room and the modem I have now is to far away to connect it via a networking cable. I'm eithier going to have to buy a modem for my room or buy the $100 netwoking adapter. That is a pretty steep price just for wireless. I really love my Wii for having Wi-fi. Then I still have to buy a Xbox Live monthly subscriptions. Oh well Itll be fun with Mass Effect.
