I didn't mention what I got for Christmas because it really reveals the geek that I am, but in the spirit of full disclosure to those of you that read my blogs and pretty much have a good idea of what kind of geek I am, I will 'fess up.
With the new Xbox 360 update, they give you the ability to copy your games to the hard drive. This allows for them to load faster, though I wish it would mean I wouldn't have to switch disks, but I digress. My Xbox is one of the originals, with only the 20gig drive, which didn't fit many games, so I got the 120gb upgrade with the transfer cord so I could move all my old stuff over. I can definitely see a speed boost. I also got some more 360 games; Fable II, and Saints Row 2. I know that SR2 is a GTA knock off, but in some ways, I like it better, just because there are so many customization options. I enjoy pimping out my cars, my cloths, and etc. I also got the official Xbox wireless adapater, I had one I had kludged together, which worked sometimes, and sometimes it didn't. I wanted to test out the Netflix via Xbox, which actually works well, but really, not enough movies are available now to make it worth my time. I am doing a bit of streaming from my PC, since torrents are widely available, plus I have access to my entire music library.
Not sure if mentioned before I picked up a Wii, I also got some games for it as well; Rayman Raving Rabbits and Big Brain Academy. Rayman is a bunch of mini games, which are fun to play with a group, plus the rabbits are pretty funny. The Big Brain Academy is a series of puzzles that determines the "weight" of your brain. I'm up to 1100 or so grams, but it goes up to 3000, I need more practice before I break the 2000 mark.
So that's my geek confession, that and the Lexus commercial where the kid is talking about the 2600, yeah, that's me, except I wouldn't replace that with any car unless it was a van packed with Miss January through Miss December.
