So after a couple of years of firmly placing my feet into the concrete of pc gaming, i've finally called my own bluff and realised the only reason i havent got a console yet is cos i'm a cheapass.
so today i placed the final bid for a used xbox360 console. yeah i know, i didnt get a new one cos they are still so damned expensive, and i didnt want the suckass arcade package.
but basically its a pre-hdmi pro package thats less than a year old with extended warranty, 3 controllers, vga output box, headphone, and 12 games. for $AUD600 including interstate postage. so yeh, quite a bargain, considering a new pro console at EB games goes for around $AUD600 as well. so i thought fuck it, i'll get it with my tax returns money.
so this will be my first foray into current gen console gaming (not including the nintendo DS), since my playstation.
here is a picture of the bundle i'll soon be receiving in the post.
i hope i wont be disappointed.
gamertag will be up soon.
i was sent timestamped photos of the machine while its on, and also with his live account online, so i know its not banned. will update blog again when i receive the goods.
The PC was once a big part of my gaming too, but the upgrading 'keeping up with the jones' attitude just killed it for me.
Right now, its all about my 360, PS2, PSP and DS.
I hope you enjoy your PAL aussie games, but what do you do to play Gears of War? I guess you could still import your adult games from the U.K. Try Play.co.uk for those.
Glad to see you're not getting ripped off. Congrats on the steal of a purchase.
