Happy "Belated" New Year people!

As some of you might know I have been debating between a Nintendo Wii and a PS3 for a long time and never did I think of getting an xbox before. I had the Wii on layby once but then we cancelled it because we just had too many other stuff to pay for. And PS3 was even more out of the question. Not only that, you really need a HD-TV for the PS3. A friend once brought his PS3 to our place and plugged it to our normal CRT TV and the graphics was pretty horrible.

Then on New Year's Eve after all the bustle in the week before, the better half and I decided we want a quiet night. I actually saw the xbox arcade pack on offer: $228 (I think) for the standard package and Sega Super Star Tennis including xbox arcade games at Big W. But when I called it was too late and they were all sold out. Never did we know we were gonna get a better deal at JB Hi Fi. They had the same package including Gears of War II for $259! For $30 more and we get G.O.W II, it was certainly worth it, and so we got it from them instead. Gotta say for that price, it's really not a bad console!

The BF is busy with the G.O.W II of course, but we're also playing Eragon together. That game didn't seem to have good reviews, but I find it kinda okay so far ANd I started a bit on Elder Scrolls IV: the oblivion. And oooh I just won the Lego Indiana Jones cum Kungfu Panda game earlier this evening on ebay!

well that's one way to start the new year, have fun with it. If you have XBL we could play something together.

hehe yeah it's cool... what's XBL? Sorry I don't really know the acronyms used by Hard-Core gamers.
