Arrow Xbox 360

Well, I was watching the news the other day over break and I figured Id mention this story about the first Xbox 360 purchase.

This kid waited three days at a best buy to be first in line to get it on the opening day. Opening day comes, and as he purchases his Xbox with reporters all around, Bill Gates shakes is right there. The kid got to meet Bill Gates at the best buy! It was nuts and was on national news. He then proceeded to walk outside, hold up the xbox and everyone cheered, haha.

I sadly don't game as much as I used to, but I am a playstation fan anyway. NHL 2006 anyone>?

Starcarft ALL THE WAY! An awesome game for sure!

I like the avatar Jeff. The Ft. Lauderdale beaches on every post! Too bad we have 3 inches of snow on the ground up here in Mid-Michigan .. BUT snowmobiling and snowboarding are always a positive thing to having the snow!

Take care.

I wish it was a ft. lauderdale beach haha. Our beaches are nice, but not as nice as most carribean beaches. Starcraft is great, before that I had played the original C&C which was AWESOME for its time. Dialing friends cpus to play... geez now that's ancient.

I heard they were selling for $900-$1200 on ebay the first week. If you got one right away and were smart, you'd sell it ASAP then turn around and buy one again a week or so later when they got their stock in and be a few hundred richer for the wait
