Well, it's bonus time again at Microsoft and live seemingly almost everyone else at work I decided to head down to Frys electronics to see what interesting stuff they had; and ostensibly to get myself an XBOX 360 Elite...gave my old one back in the UK to my nephew and never got round to replacing it...Well it was like the company store in there! I swear every second person was an MS employee! Anyway very boring story short they were sold out of XBOX 360s of all types (side note: smell of burning from my PC...not a good sign, really need to replace the poor old thing!). The sales guy looked really confused that they'd had such a run on XBOX 360s today :-) . Oddly the place I found them was Circuit City right by the MS campus...either they got a shipment today or they were aware of the timing :-) So I now again have a 360...the elite costs more but man it looks good! Been playing demos and downloading movies all evening...the primary reason I wanted it wasn't actually games oddly enough, it was so I can stream all my media center content which I brought from the UK to my main TV.
Also realizing how much of a company guy I'm becoming after taking a whole lot of pride in just how smooth and generally cool the 360 is! Please let the Zune 2 be just as cool...
