XBox 360

So my friends Jeff & Syd are taking a trip to the southwestern states visiting some family I believe. I'm dropping by their place to check on their cat Sketchy. While he's gone, I've borrowed his XBox360. So I hooked it up to my projector and it's pretty awesome. The graphics are really good (especially Gears of War). The only thing I don't like is how loud the fan is. I bought the wireless force feedback wheel and played some Project Gotham Racing 3. The wheel is really well made, but I wish I had some table to bolt it down onto rather than using it on my lap. Here's a pic of Gears of War:



I should be getting my Berkline recliners mid-December. I still need to mount the rear speakers. I also want to eventually get a ceiling fan installed as all the electronics and especially the projector makes the room pretty warm.

If I was really hardcore, I'd get this:



(Although it's not quite as big as my 100" screen...)

If you are interested in a 360, TRU (toys r us) has the premium system for 399 and they give you a 100 dollar gift card with the purchase. Not bad. If you really want a deal, buy a AMEX 25% off gift card off ebay, then you get it for essentially around 200 for the premium system + tax + whatever the gift card cost ya...
