Missing 'my' 360
SuperD1984 | 3:31 AM on 11.17.2008 15 comments


I currently 'own an Xbox 360, However this ownership is on a shared basis with my brother in law. Why?, might you ask. It was the day of the release of Halo 3 and both me and my brother in law were more than keen to get a hold of an xbox to play it on. So due to a lack of funds on both of our behalfs we decided to split the costs and pay half each.



Regardless of this arrangement said brother in law isnt much of a gamer so i keep the 360 at my place pretty much all the time, like some kinda console divorce with visitation rights, until that is after me having recently bought Fable II, Fallout 3 and Gears 2. He asks to take it away to his for awhile. Me being the reasonable fellow i am i dont bemaon the fact he wants to take it away. That is however before a weekend of absolute boredom, No Gears, no live, my DS charger is nowhere to be seen(i have some Twilight Princess business to attend to). I did howver manage to squeeze in some Gears of War 1 at a freinds house before watching Brock Lesnar take apart Randy Couture on Sky.



So, its pretty much came down to me re-installing bullshit games on my bullshit pc till my brother in law has had his fill of the november releases. Oh Dear.

Ive definately thought about buying him out, just seems like a bit of a dickhead thing to do as i do have the system about 95% of the time.

Just Damn bored playing Command and Conquer Generals

... You just $180 worth of games... for 20 more you could of bought your own 360.
SuperD1984's Destructoid Blog
GTAIV £40, Fifa 09 £32 Fallout 3 £32 Gears of War 2 £30 Fable 2 £35 COD:MW £40

Yeah but i still wouldn't have been able to afford both games and the console.

So? How hard it is to have some patience? You may have to wait a bit to play the new games but at least you wouldn't be sitting without your 360 right now. Game companies love consumers like you, your so impatient that you can't wait for prices to go down so you just go out and plop full retail price on games day one. Not to mention now they don't have to worry about you buying second hand either.

They're are some games that i have no problem laying down the full price for.

I suppose i could wait 5 years and be able to buy said games/console at a fraction of the price, but i enjoy being able to play and be a part of the current generation as it is happening.

Or do the same with my pc and be able to run Crysis with ease after a long enough time cheaply as technology moves on and becomes cheaper.

Wait... You have a full fledged gaming pc and your complaining about being bored without your 360? GTFO MY DESTRUCTOID!
SuperD1984's Destructoid Blog
Nah my pc is very far from a full fledged gaming rig.

I could barley run Stalker on minimum settings.And that game is crazy enough without all the random enemy loading and non weather effects my rig created for me.

 about me

Played/Owned most consoles since the Nes days(all but the Saturn) Tend to play all types of games, with the exception of Flight Sims. My favourite series of games is probably the Street Fighter series of games. I can still remember clearly sliding my brand new Super Nintendo out of its box one christmas and played SFII constantly for hours and hours till i was one day able to defeat it on 8 stars. I can still perform Shoryuken after Shoryuken no better than when i have a SNES pad in my hands.



I currently own an Xbox 360, A DS Lite(Bg Hands + DS Lite = RSI) and a busted old Rig
