Xbox 360 And The Deal That Brought It Into My Life
Check out the white-on-black console porn. On top is my newest addition, the Xbox 360. Sometimes I feel guilty about being such a giant consumer, but the itch is finally scratched (y'all knew I was joking before, right?). I know some friends are uncomprehending, but I was a good boy and waited until I got a nice deal on this. The wife has been very patient. Maybe I love her even a little bit more. There's a lesson for you, ladies: Don't be like this guy's chick (who is apparently making her beau shed a truly amazing game collection in order to buy her a gaudy hunk of compressed carbon).
Anyway, if you are interested in getting a $100 rebate on the 360, expand this mofo.
Here's reason 1,023,657 why I love the web: I never would have snagged a 360 for 25% off without it. First, I see this post at joystiq for a rebate offer if you buy a 360 at Micro Center. I think, $100 off is a pretty great deal, especially considering that I had told myself early on that I'd wait for a price drop before getting one. But then I think, what's Micro Center? I've never heard of this store. So again, internet to the rescue. Checking out the store's site reveals that there is a location out on Strong Island. I check the Long Island Railroad's schedule (online, natch) and discover it is a half hour trip. Better yet, Google maps shows me that the store is less than a mile from the train station. A $10 round-trip ticket and two hours later, I'm back in Queens, spraying Locust blood in Gears of War.
How did we function without the web?

oh god that auction makes me so sad.. its such a beautiful collection (far more beautiful than that somewhat beastly girl of his). Of course if he actually gets $25k for it I'd have to give him props, he got a good 20 years of what looks to be some serious play time and then gets a check at the end of it all.. not bad. I'd just hate to see him to blow it on a ring.
Please promise me comstock wouldn't do that with his 5 systems, i'm still recovering from what you did to your cd collection (even if it was the right thing to do).
