I’ve canceled my World of Warcraft account. I haven’t played in almost a month. I was ready from something new. I almost went retro and got a PS2, it was in my hand, but then I realized I would be spending more money for an XBox 360 later this year anyways (Halo 3 in Nov). So, I’ve finally purchased an XBox 360. It’s been over a year since the launch of the 360 and I’m sure there have been enough revisions now to validate buying one. This was just a few days before the announcement by Microsoft of the release of the Xbox 360 Elite version. I don’t really have a need for the added HDMI port yet, nor will I any time soon. The 120 GB hard drive is nice but will also be available as an accessory. And the Elite is black. I actually like my white 360. I got a silver faceplate for it on Ebay for $0.99. I still have my old black XBox anyways.

So far I really like it. I configured it to stream audio, video, and pictures from my desktop which will be great for parties. The wireless controllers are awesome. There are also some games that are worth having now. Halo 3 has been announced to release in November. Guitar Hero II is in the mail…At least it better be. Stay tuned for announcement of a ‘Rock Star’ party complete with Guitar Hero battles. Also Grand Theft Auto IV will be coming out first on the 360. The trailer was released the other day and it’s got everyone buzzing about what changes are being made to the game.

I’ve been getting very active in XBox Live and gamer news, more than just reading articles and reviews. Now I feel apart of them.
