Limiting my Xbox 360 budget

I had originally planned to buy 3 Xbox 360 games at launch. Then I changed my mind and decided to buy only 2. Well, I changed my mind again and I am buying only 1. The lucky game is Perfect Dark Zero Limited Edition.

The reason for only one? Apart from saving money I have realised that I will never have the time to play any game other than PDZ. I mean... PDZ is the total package. It will have a hugely long single player mode (like PD64) and an online mode with infinite replay value. I remember when I had PD on N64 I played it for months against bots. Imagine the replay value with online!

My old Xbox360 launch plans had me paying $850. But now I will be paying only $490 (for the X360 = $400, PDZ:LE = $60, Svideo cable = $30). I decided to skip on wireless internet (i'll just use a long LAN cable for now) for about 3 months after launch. After about 3 months post launch i'll buy the gaming router and wifi adapter.

I'm also selling my GBA and GameCube soon. They suck. Plus I hate having more than 1 system. So I will have the PSP for handheld and the Xbox360 for console. And PS3 about 3 years from now if FFVII is exclusive to PS3. But with Square/Enix announcement that their games will be multiplatform next gen to increase profits it is possible that FFVII could come to the 360. You never know...
