Waiting for Xbox

My Xbox 360

Pictured is My Xbox. The one that I waited 14 hours on line outside of Best Buy for. You see, the plan was to go to Wal Mart 5 hours before the release (7pm). I get there, and the line is full. They only got 15. So I went to Best Buy. At 7:30pm, for the 9am release. And waited. In the freezing rain. Most of me went numb. I survived thanks to a friend and his family, who brought us stuff to keep warm. But when 9am finally came, I was ready. I got my 360 and the coveted Perfect Dark Zero. When trying to choose a second game, I found it hard. Harder than I thought. People said 360 has virtually no games. But those 19 releases all looked great. And sure there are some on other systems, but they look so much better on 360.

I’ve been playing Perfect Dark almost non-stop. It looks incredible. The game play is awesome. And oooohhh the Xbox Live. Challenge the World. Perfect Dark is the best game of the season. Hands down. The graphics, the game play, and this new feature called “Cover”. It allows you to hide against a wall and pan around for enemies, using the wall as protection.

All in all I’m very happy with the purchase of 360. Xbox Live is like nothing I have ever used before, and the lighting, shadowing, look and feel of the games is just breath taking. And, despite what you might have heard- mine isn’t defective. Later!
