Argh techno lust is reaching undocumented levels right now... I want a XBOX 360 NTSC/J Premium Pack and I want one now!!! No I will not give into common sense and wait a couple more months... And no I'm not worried about the documented heat issues... I just want one... if only I didn't look at the trailer for Project Gotham Racing 3... and if only I didn't get confirmation from a contact that I can get the bundle I want for RM2090.00 as opposed to other vendors who are selling it for RM400-RM600 more... I wouldn't be feeling the way I do...
The RM2090.00 price tag is a very big issue for two reasons... 1)Its blinking expensive and 2)Based on an exchange rate of 1CAD = RM3.12... it 14% cheaper than the Canadian price (after taking into account tax of course... and by tax I mean GST and PST)... so it the purchase really worth it? Well in short... yes and no...
The answer really depends on how I will be gaming... if I was to spend my time gaming alone (offline) than the Xbox 360 would be an utter waste of money... if I were to play offline and online, it would be a bloody marvelous purchase because it actually costs a whole lot less to buy the darn 360 than to upgrade my PC to make online games truly playable...
Next, is the purchase of the 360 really essential? In short... no it isn't... but would it be great to have... yes it jolly well would!!! The reasons are simple... 1)its a native HDTV device... so everything was designed with HDTV in mind... although I do not have a HDTV at the moment, Jeanie and I are looking into procurring one in the near future... 2)Project Gotham Racing 3 looks so beautiful that your eyes can bleed... Its like watching a dvd... its that beautiful and something that beautiful deserves to be appreciated... 3)Blinking online play... I mean smooth framerates and everything... no jerkiness... real time voice chat with the games... 4)I am shallow... hahahahahahaha...
