****ing Rich People
On November 22, 2005, countless numbers of people, who worked their asses off and saved up enough money for god knows how long, will go empty handed, not being able to get an xbox360 or from getting pushed back in their preorder due to shortages, and yet these people, for whom the price tag is mere chump change, walk away with these things given to them. Way to go world. Way to go.
 Oh god kill me now!  Oh well, at least one nonfamous person got one.

 Why are you even posting pics of them when you hate them so much?

Temp, an XBox 360 is as close as your local Wal-Mart, Kmart, Target, Sam's Club, or Costco.

Ah, that's right! The console goes for sale one minute after midnight. Where I am that's an hour and four minutes away. Guess I could load up some KOTOR on my ancient, ancient Xbox right now to celebrate.

Every time I see that gurning slapper Paris Hilton I feel like tearing my own arms off at the injustice of the world. Only problem is, the first arm would be easy but then I'd have to use my teeth for the second one.

Capitalism in its purest form.
Luckily i'm not fazed cause counter strike feels like its the game to end all games. But on the other hand Paris Hilton deserves torture incapable of being given by the mentally stable.

Why the hype about a Xbox360 anyway? What's so special about these consoles that you can't get a similar experience with a computer? I haven't owned a console since Nintendo 8-bit. What's the point? Enlighten me.
*edit* Who the snot feels that since Paris Hilton has a Xbox, must have one too ?!?!?!?!??

I bet her xbox will end up sitting in one of her many closets that isn't filled with random expensive clothes. After her dog takes a dump on it. Oh, and as for whats the big deal with consoles, they're excellent for multiplayer gaming when you have a few mates round, you can all relax round the TV rather than crowding round a PC. And there's sometimes good games that are console-only too. And they're shiny and pretty.

I myself will be waiting greedily for all the nice, used, regular XBoxes to start pouring into the thrift stores after Christmas. I'm cheap that way.
