Cool 360 W00t!

Yesterday I managed to finally get my jammy mits upon a 360

Due to winning a graphic design competition I had £250 to spend in a UK electronics retailer, plus a handy £75 voucher and a staff discount rate

So I managed to bring home a new 360 60gb, additional controller, resident evil 5, lips with 2 microphones and a Wii Fit (so my poor wii doesn't feel left out) for the princely sum of £7.

Not the cheapest deal on the xbox around sure but it had to be spent there and then so I still think I achieved fairly good value for money

Shall be splashing out on more games (especially co-op ) soon but in the meantime will be getting used to this dashboard etc

Prepare for the impending torrent of "how do I..." questions.

Fallout 3 > Mirrors Edge > Left 4 Dead > Fable 2 > Rock Band.

In that order for me. Though there are 2 better games than those mentioned in The Darkness (yay, get to mention it again \o/) and BioShock. Also, look at the PGR series, maybe PGR4 for you, as it's brilliant!

I'm missing my 360 so much. Can't wait to start work so that I can get myself one again.

There's a good years worth of games that I need to catch up on and I'm looking forward to MW2 and Fifa '10.
