Gaming aside, the 360 is about the coolest thing I’ve ever seen. I think I should feel guilty about them going out of business since I quit renting in favor of downloading. I think it’s been about a year since I’ve rented from anywhere. It’s the one that I used to wander around in while Little Caesar’s was cooking my pizzas, snapping pictures of all the new releases that I intended to download once I got home. Speaking of video stores – we went to Blockbuster because the one we usually go to went out of business.

I don’t think I’ll be doing anymore renting. We get them for a whole week, but it’s still pricey. Renting games is expensive! $6.99 each? Damn! I’ve been looking on Ebay and it seems that I can buy the games for not much more than that. I think our entire weekend is going to consist of playing with the Xbox 360. This is the first I’ve ever seen it, aside from that bizarre clip on Altalp’s avatar on the PLA Forums. I’m not really into gaming myself, but I wanted the 360 because the kids love the Halo games so much and the new Halo comes out this month. We’ve been passing the controller around, taking turns playing rounds. Emily got Kameo, Payton Bioshock, and I got Rayman.

Tonight we got pizza from Little Caesar’s and went to Blockbuster to rent some Xbox 360 games. I should give him a positive rating, just for the hell of it. He did the same thing to 5 other people who were selling Xboxes. Some guy won our old Xbox on Ebay a couple weeks ago but never paid for it. The broken one didn’t come with a controller. So free Xbox 360! Aside from having to buy a couple controllers, that is.

Other than that it works perfectly! Score! It cost about $100, which is right around what I expect to get for our old Xbox. Turns out the only thing broken on it was the power supply. I bought it broken from Ebay a couple weeks ago. Had an Xbox 360 waiting for me in the mail. Also listened to about 30 minutes of a church sermon while flipping through stations. Listened to lots of Skeptoid and Blackalicious again. Lots of tumbleweed flying around in front of me, making me even more paranoid of deer. I’m not crazy about driving at night, but the drive was good.
