... The Xbox360!!! A long time after their releases, I finally got a hold of a next-gen console. And as I always told many of my friends, the 360 would be the first, especially due to them also have it and thus, being able to play online with them. I remember that at the beginning of the year, I had a post in which I described some things I wanted to get this year, and finally I get the 360! After a lot of overtime workload, lol! One of our few co-workers went on vacation, and I ended up with so much stuff to do that I had to go to work even on Saturday. But now she has returned, and I'm back to my normal 40 hours... XD

Here is a picture of it. And by the way, that Starbucks bottle has a meaning!! It is a homage to my friend Ursula (queen_valentine) who was just promoted at her Starbucks store. Way to go girl!!!

Anyway, I also got Halo 3 along with the console. (which as you can see, was the Halo edition; I thought that console was just beautiful, even more so than the Elite!) I even put a Gundam that matches... how girlie of me! )
Although I get owned all the time playing online with friends, I enjoy it. At least now there are people actually helping me to play, instead of just leting me to die all the time like my ex and his friends used to on Halo 2...

I obviously got Blue Dragon! Though I haven't played a lot yet (only about 5 hours as of now), I find the game rather interesting and the characters are pretty charismatic. But I'll write more on it once I get more hours into the game.

Besides those two, I also got some Live Arcade games. I got Uno, which I just love to play with my brother (the real thing), and now I can play with many other people on a videogame... I would have never thought of that years ago when I played with my father, lol. I got Castlevania, which was a great PS1 game that now has been placed at Live. But the game I have really been putting some effort on is Puzzle Quest. I had read great reviews about this game that was supposed to be a mix of RPG and Puzzle. I tried finding it for my ex-psp (which I sold to my friend Jason in order to help getting my 360! XD) but I couldn't find at any stores around here. So when I found it at Live, I definitely got it and got addicted to it. It is really neat that you don't have to rely on pure luck with those puzzles, as you can forge new items, gain levels, research new spells that help you with specific tasks and such! There is just so much! The only thing that ticks me off is the random encounters, which get pretty annoying once all you want to do is to go back to places to get your gold and etc. Other than that, it is indeed a really interesting and enjoyable game.

Well, that's it for now. By the way, I sold my PSP but I still have my brother's to use (I got - of course! - Final Fantasy Tactics and I'll post about it later, once I get freed from Puzzle Quest's stronghold! XD ) so don't panic. I also took the pic above showing my PS2 so that it gets some loving as well, LOL! I will never abandon my Playstation! The Fantasy cannot end!

I was expecting that you're already getting a 360 since you're with Sakaguchi along the way.

My first next-gen console was the Wii, but I have an X360 as well. I have Blue Dragon, I liked it quite alot (I wrote a review for it). You can add me to live if you like (Blace07). Have fun with your 360! Oh and I suggest getting Oblivion it rocks!

Combinou muito bem o Gundam com o seu 360!!! E adorei o PS2 edição especial. Aquele Memory Card de PS1 é pra jogar FFVII, por acaso?
Posted Oct 20, 2007 7:27 pm PT
I just got a Wii and Twilight Princess, so that's my first step into this gen. The 360 and PS3 are still a little overpriced for my liking.. and I am yet without an HDTV so the Wii it was Hope you enjoy your 360 though Michelle
Posted Oct 20, 2007 8:15 pm PT
Enjoy the 360. Set your sights on Lost Odyssey, but don't ever forget the fantasy.
Posted Oct 20, 2007 8:18 pm PT
Yay! Send me a friend request! I have Halo 3, we can play if you have time. And...my advice, forget Blue Dragon, get Eternal Sonata, it's beautiful, colourful, original and totally uncomparable.
Posted Oct 21, 2007 1:49 am PT
The green console is beautiful.
Posted Oct 21, 2007 2:29 am PT
Congrats!! Diverte-te
Posted Oct 21, 2007 2:41 am PT
Congrats, 360 was also my first Next-Gen console.
Posted Oct 21, 2007 7:18 am PT
Congrats on the 360, my first was the Wii , figured you'd get Blue Dragon Halo 3 too....ugh another Halo player.....I cannot escape them Love the matching Gundam action figure!!
Posted Oct 21, 2007 9:53 am PT
Excelent choice, Xbox 360 is the best next-gen console, no doubt
Que invejinha xD
Posted Oct 21, 2007 10:24 am PT
Congrats Michelle! Though I must say that I'm very surprised about you getting the puke green 360.

Did you get Eternal Sonata? I think you might enjoy that. Get it ASAP.
Posted Oct 21, 2007 4:22 pm PT
First time I saw a PS2 slim in a photo together with another console,is very small like a notebook and congrats on your new X360 I like the color too,is more like an aguacate color imo;I want to buy one soon cos´ the only thing I´ve now is just a empty gamertag. : ( see ya´
Posted Oct 21, 2007 5:06 pm PT
Good for you buying a 360. Sometimes I wish I bought one, but since my loyalty to the Playstation is so strong, I just upgraded to PS3. I'll get one someday, but now on to play Jericho and go skiing!
Posted Oct 21, 2007 6:39 pm PT
Congrats on getting the new 360. I'm going to agree with Max and Ron's recommendation of Eternal Sonata, it's an excellent RPG. Send me a friend request if you feel like playing some Halo 3. (my gamertag is the same as my GS username)
Posted Oct 21, 2007 8:43 pm PT
congratz.
but i would say bad choice.
only got halo to play, and thats not that great.
Posted Oct 22, 2007 12:42 pm PT
Congrats Michelle. Now drop Halo 3 and go get the HL2 Orange Box. The Orange Box contains some of the greatest games of year (most likely the greatest games of the century aswell). Anyways, happy gaming.
Posted Oct 22, 2007 4:24 pm PT
I just got a 360 earlier this month. If you want somebody to beat at Halo 3 you can add me (pistolera198 ), I'm currently pretty awful .
Posted Oct 22, 2007 4:30 pm PT
Congrats, cool set up, and yeah the gundam matchs the 360 , don't worry i bet you will get better at online games
Posted Oct 23, 2007 12:55 am PT
Good choice,,,the 360 is the best bet right now...They have plenty of good games and more to come...

And since yours is a new system hopefully you wont have any hardware issues... I bought mine about 4 months after launch and I have not had any problems at all...
Posted Oct 23, 2007 6:13 am PT
Congrats
Posted Oct 26, 2007 3:55 pm PT
Grats! Halo 3 was a great investment btw. I also play a crap load on multiplayer in Halo 3, send me a friend request and we can own some fools in teamslay
Posted Oct 28, 2007 3:59 pm PT
Congrats ma'am! :p

I hope you enjoy a lot your new console! When I read the title of your blog entry I just thought you've bought the PS3, because you're a great FF fan and FF XII is "just around the corner"...
Posted Nov 12, 2007 10:54 am PT
Good choice... apart from the reliability issues, the 360 is the best console on the market... for now.
Posted Dec 2, 2007 12:54 pm PT
Congratz on the 360 (good choice =P), add me if you want GT: xX Evasive
Posted Dec 2, 2007 2:01 pm PT
Congrats xD -- 360 is the future .. welcome in the next gen club
Posted Dec 8, 2007 8:29 am PT

Posted Dec 8, 2007 11:16 am PT
Boas Festas e Feliz Ano Novo, Michelle.
Posted Dec 22, 2007 10:15 pm PT
