Tonight I picked up a 360 Arcade. I can't find the 256m memory card, so I'm pretty darn sure I've got a Jasper chipset. I used a $25 gift card and payed the rest. Would've been under $200 except I got the Gamestop 1-year warranty to go with it for $20.

Anyhow, I'm unpacking it right now, looking through the manuals, etc. Will probably go online to check for updates, and need to remember to order a HDMI to DVI converter later on. Thanks to the kind generosity of ProtogeRuckus, I've got a 20g harddrive and a bunch of games already, plus my buddy will be returning my VF5:Online come Monday.

I don't have the time to go uber-hardcore anymore, so don't expect my meager gamerscore to be anything but that: meager. But I do believe I will enjoy this quite a bit. Later on I'll have to start trying to track down copies of Scene It, Lips, and other good, social games since I'm planning on this thing being a traveling system. Oh, and I'll need two more controllers to boot. All in good time, though :)
