Plans change. I'm sure most of you aimed to complete a certain task only to delay it indefinitely when new circumstances arose (I'm thinking of you, Mr. Homework Procrastinator). It should come as no surprise when I planned to buy a Xbox 360 last summer I--get ready for the big surprise--didn't purchase one. New circumstances arose, and I ended up working for a small computer repair shop. Therefore, I used nearly all the money I made to build a new computer. However, I still had a Xbox 360 wireless controller, and a pre-order for Halo 3 and Grand Theft Auto IV hanging around, waiting to be used.
Finally, the time has come. I purchased a Xbox 360 bundle on Sunday, and it's slated to arrive tomorrow.
Along with it, I have a third wireless controller arriving, as well as Perfect Dark Zero, Blue Dragon and Project Gotham Racing 4. Additionally, I opened up my wallet to buy a new 26" HDTV.
If you're going to game, you might as well go all-out, right? At least, that's what I tell myself (and my wallet). When all is said and done, I should have:
* A Xbox 360 Pro system (with HDMI)
* A new 26" HDTV
* Perfect Dark Zero, Grand Theft Auto IV, Halo 3, Project Gotham Racing 4 and Blue Dragon
* 3 Wireless controllers
When I do finally get my Xbox 360 tomorrow, I fully expect to act like this kid opening up his N64. I can't wait to see what the 360 has to offer and--hopefully--spend countless hours on a new gaming system (instead of my PC). It will be interesting to go back to using a controller; I haven't really messed around with consoles since I played GameCube years ago but I'm sure I'll adjust.
Oh, and if I turn into a fanboy trolling System Wars bashing all other systems, I apologize in advance.

I know what you mean about that last comment. Everytime I go on the Wii forums, even though I recently bought one, the people posting there almost always make me want to bash it. If I didn't stop myself from posting there I would probably have about 1,000 more posts now, or I would be banned. I've read too many threads about how people want to dumb down games for the PS3 and 360 to put it on the Wii, I've always thought that that was kind of sad.
