I'm getting a 360. That's all there is to it. There are too many games either out for it already or coming out for it soon that I want. Gears of War, Dead Rising, Blue Dragon, Bioshock, Half Life 2: Orange Box, Unreal Tournament 3, Mass Effect, Eternal Sonata (that one's for Z), and Crackdown are all on the list. Sure, some of them I could get for my PC, but I'd really love to play them in widescreen at 1080i on my TV.

I could get one on my Dell account right now. Sometimes, I wonder why I just don't.

Because we're mature and no fun anymore :(

I wanted to go out and buy a Wii until I got enough money to do so. Then my first thought was to pay off debt and invest in chibi's future. Bah! When I was younger I would've blown it all on games and candy!*



who am I kidding? I would have squirreled it away then too 9_9

For goodness sake, I hide money under the Monopoly board so I can pretend I don't have any cash. AND THAT'S JUST A GAME!

Hey now, I'm just as fun and impulsive as I always was. :)

Yeah, I wonder why you don't either. Then again, I am an enabler. ^_^

Man, no wonder I've always done so well in retail jobs.

The next console I'm getting is a 360. Though right now I have more than enough fun with my Wii, PS2 and DS. I have enough games to finish up for the next year now.

Though Dead Rising alone makes me wanna play a 360. Horror games FTW.

It's SO GOOD.

Well, except for the ending (the really real ending, not the "not so good endings" that you can get). It was a little flat, but the rest of the game? PURE AWESOMENESS. And who plays it for the ending, really?

What matters is the gameplay.

Though I must say that the ending of Indigo Prophecy ruined the game for me. The first part was just so awesome and made me want to play it over and over, all until it turned shitty.

Right now I'm playing Forbidden Siren (sneaky scary, but a bit frustrating at times when you have to figure out where your enemies are looking in order to sneak by them), Pokemon Pearl and Trauma Center for the Wii.

Horror games are my favourite genre, really. Wouldn't have gotten a PS2 if it wasn't for Silent Hill or Fatal Frame.

And don't forget about the other entertaining titles that the 360 is getting... like Halo 3, and my personal favorite Assassin's Creed! It's freaking Prince of Persia on crack and I can't wait to see that game come out.

Dont forget all the less then 15 bucks a pop content like Geometry Wars on Live Arcade. ;)

Oh, definitely can't forget that. Being able to play Castlevania: Symphony of the Night again will be nice, too. :)

Bioshock is fucking incredible.

I've been playing the Demo (free download-able demos = A++++) over and over, and I keep getting shanked because I'm looking at all the details and investigating all the many layers of sound coming from everywhere.

I will be purchasing it on my next paycheck.

(This week's play money went to buying season 3 of House.)
