I am new to the XBOX 360.  I bought one on a special deal that left the total price for the platinum edition at almost exactly $360, which includes both tax and shipping.  After reading about the... "Harold and Kumar Test a Long-Range Missile"
A touching film of self-discovery, starring two chronically-high college kids caught up in the angst of a competition for world domination. No, this isn't really the long-awaited sequel to... Wii're Not Gonna Take It... Anymore!
Ok so this blog entry breaks the mold on my previous blog entries.  It's about a console system rather than politics, and it's a short screed rather than a long rant. I hate the name "Wii".  I've... Requiem Aeternum
