A good buddy of mine is moving out of the country & kicked me his Elite for free, (I've helped him out of a few financial jams in the past), so it looks like I'm back in business with the 360. I was just gonna wait & buy a new one when MS released the new 65nm chipset, but who can say no to free??

Now I'm rolling with the PS3 & 360 again, so nice to have choices & if this 360 craps out on me too, then what do I care? I didn't pay for it & I can just send it in for free repairs. Nice!!!

Glad I won't have to miss out on Halo3 & Mass Effect after all. Although I'm not completely rabid over Halo, I would like to see how the story ends & I was really looking forward to Mass Effect as much as anything else coming out this year.

I'm still not happy about the fact that 360's break down like crazy, but maybe this one will break my streak of bad luck with the system. We'll see...
