I have a Xbox 360, but now I need a HDTV!


So now I have a Xbox 360 and im enjoying the games, I have Dolby Digital 5.1 surround sound, but then I realize that im playing on a over 5 year old 27” TV. It getting frustrating knowing that my games can look a lot better in HD and that the games and the system is built for HD but im not taking advantage of this because I don’t own a HDTV. Its disappointing because im only experience about half of the game experience and im missing a lot of the visual details that can only be seen and appreciated in HD.

Now we all know that HDTV’s can be expensive but im not looking to get a 42” Plasma, im looking to get a 30” Widescreen HDTV CRT (the conventional tvs that weight about 150 pounds). The CRTs produce good pictures and a good tv can be purchased for around $800.

So how will I be able to afford such a tv? Well below are my ideas.

1. Sell my collection of figures and statues. With over 200 figures/statues in there original package, I think I can make a little money back on them.

2. Create a HDTV fund. My birthday is on June 1st, so I will try to ask people if they would like to make a contribution to my HDTV fund and I will use PayPal or accept cash and/or money order. On my birthday I will take whatever is collected and then try to buy a HDTV.

3. Sell my body to science. I don’t know how much that will fetch but im sure they can figure something out :)

Well, what do you think? Any suggestions or comments?

Got my Xbox 360!!!!


Well, im finally back to posting in my blog. I stood in line for the Xbox 360 for over 10 hours at a best buy near my home. It was totally worth it but boy did it suck to stay in line from 10pm till 8am. My girlfriend J was there with me and stood there till 2am, then i had some of the guys waiting there with me hold my spot and i took her home. But what a lucky man i am to have a girlfriend willing to hang in there with me, she is a real trooper.

The night was extremely cold and wet and i was number 11 in line out of about 75-100 people. Through out the night every one took turns going to there car and getting warmed up. It was the most miserable 10 hours of my life, I thought I had frost bite a few times through out the night. J was kind enough to bring me food and I shared some of it with the guys in line.

As the morning came everyone was on edge and a lot of people started to get inline around 7am. I almost got in a fight with this older guy because he was trying to say that one of the guys that was in my group was cutting in line but he didn’t know we were holding each others spot while we got warmed up in the car. Everyone was with me in the fact that we were going to beat this guy down if he messed with us and our chance to get the 360.

I know I sound crazy with all this Xbox 360 stuff but I really love the product and im enjoying it. What can I say, im a gamer.

So Best Buy let us in one by one and I finally got my 360 at 8:30am, I went straight home, left the 360 in my apartment and went straight to work. My boss knew I was staying in line so he said I could take my time.

Over the past few months I got some games and here they are:

1. Condemned – Criminal Origin
2. Kameo
3. Call of Duty 2
4. Dead or Alive 4
5. Halo Triple Pack
6. Project Gotham Racing

Well, that’s it for now, peace.
