YAC (Yet Another Console) - I Boughts an Xbox
I spent a bit of time over Christmas playing my brother’s Xbox 360. After playing and loving Super Mario Galaxy, I was satisfied with the Wii for awhile and didn’t have any plans to buy a new console. But ZOMG Gears of War is really brilliant. It’s not particularly original, the plot is rudimentary and the dialog has too too much gung-ho-yanks-are-so-tough for my taste, but damn… it’s plain good fun to play.
So I gave in to temptation and bought one for myself, with a copy of GoW. I really only have a couple of comments at this point.
Gears of War is totally a system seller. I’m loving it.
The Xbox power supply really is friggin huge.
The console is noisy as all get go. The fans go full-bore most of the time, but the disc-drive is particularly noisy. M’thinks it’s just a standard PC drive, which would explain the rattling noise it gives off. Not so nice.
Still, I’m happy. Merry Christmas for me. Let’s hope the bugger doesn’t melt on me!

Have you seen the long range weather forecast? I think it will melt
