HAY GUYS

Honestly, I never really expected myself to do this. Happened to go to Best Buy today, and picked up a 360 for a friend overseas, since his parents are here. After thinking about it, I was like, ah what the hell, here's where my Xmas bonus is going! So yeah, I lost my "next-gen-gaming-virginity" and netted myself a premium 360 for $400 CDN, since it's $100 off the regular price.

So far, games that I have:

GRAW (came with system)
Hitman Bloodmoney
Gears of War

Too bad Rainbow Six Vegas was sold out. ;__;

Jam it back in, in the dark.

And Spinter Cell: Double Agent, however I like team work, which is basically GRAW and R6.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

How much did you pay for your R6 Vegas, Acid? Mine had them for $40 CDN. However they were sold out like 8 AM, and I got there at like 11. The Bestbuy opened at like 5:30 AM for boxing day.

I have a question regarding the compatibility issue with the North American Xbox and NTSC with the TV that probably is PAL. As stupid as this question is (point and laugh ;__; ), will a North American Xbox 360 work on a PAL TV? God I feel so stupid asking this, but perhaps the Xbox 360 has some sort of internal conversion thingamabob. ;__;

The reason for this is my friend is overseas which is the 2nd xbox I bought him, and I think he has a PAL TV.

So as the time to get a new HDTV approaches, the 360 is on the top list to supplement it! A few questions.

1) As the original Xbox 1 experienced its first price drop in about May of the following year of the launch date, can we expect the same deal to be announced by Microsoft anytime soon - ie a price drop by say, $50-100 in mid May 2007?

2) As I've asked Colonel Skills before, has there been any current news for a black Xbox 360 with 120 GB and HDMI? I've read that Australia might be getting them, and the whole black 360 has been in the rumor mills (as I've read from various sources after Googling), but so far nothing really 100% concrete yet. Not that I'm doubting what Skills is telling me here, just curious if anyone has heard anything else - which I can understand if it's not 100% confirmed, just some news would be great.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Well, it's true. April 29th, here I come.

What type of launch madness can we expect from this? Can we expect boatloads of midnight campers and pitched tents like any other recent console launch? At least its on a Sunday, so I don't have to spend my flex days or vacation time just to sit in on it. 30 days, come on man.

I was speaking idiomatically.
