On November 15, 2001 Microsoft released the Xbox video game console in North America and though I wanted one at the time I did not have the money to purchase it. So I waited patiently until I did have the money, but no matter how I tried to save something always came up and I never got one. Then on November 25, 2005 they released the Xbox 360, which has better video, audio and storage capabilities than its predecessor. Once again I tried to save money to get this new console, and once again something always came up and I never purchased one. All that changed today! After so many years of waiting and trying and hoping, I finally purchased an Xbox 360 today.

I happened to be reading though my jobs internal classified ads yesterday and stumbled upon someone selling an Xbox 360 with a 120GB hard drive, one wireless controller, and Rock Band 2 with the drums, guitar and microphone; all for $125! I literally had no choice but to buy this bundle! Now let me put that into perspective for those of you that are wondering why I didn’t have a choice; the Rock Band 2 bundle on its own is selling for $127 at this time, and the Xbox 360 Elite bundle (which this is the equivalent of) is going for $299! I practically stole this console! On top of that when I met the guy to make the purchase he also threw in 4 other games, a second wireless controller, a headset, and a memory module in addition to the console and Rock Band 2 for no additional cost!

I can not even begin to explain how excited I am to get this setup and to start playing Xbox 360. I know a lot of people who also have a 360 and a few from work are already planning on bringing in some older games for me to play. This is going to be a blast!
