    a six pack..............of vault energy drink soda
    cell phone- to brag to my friends.haha
    camera-you never now and to capture the moment.
    flashlight- itll be dark.
    blanket-its gonna be freezing the night of launch
    jacket and hat-same as above
    couple friends-to guard me as i pick up a system so that i dont get robbed.

While I'm not a fan of consoles, I'm going to watch this until someone flames supermark.

It really isn't proper to flame someone simply because they don't have a life.
Please, people, have a little respect.

Nintendo is not my cup of tea, Supermark, but I hope you'll have a blast playing games on it!

I swore that the XBox 360 was going to be the last console I'd ever buy, and if I hadn't gotten mine so cheaply I wouldn't have gotten one at all. The expense is getting too rediculous, especially when I play so infrequently.

On a side note, if HALO 3 bites as much as HALO 2 did, I'll pack up video games forever.

I'm not flaming supermark, not at all. I'm a gamer, I just can't get into video games. The controllers frustrate me (I push a button to walk? *checks feet* I use feet to walk.), particularly anything first person (what do you mean I use my fingers to clutch?). It's me failing to adapt, I'd be horrible as a brain in a robot body.

The reason I commented was I was waiting for someone to jump him, but let's let that dog lie. <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

For the Japanese realise, I guess they had people camping out for a few days before hand. *shakes head* I don't get it, but I'm not an early adopter of tech anyway.

I want someone else to find the bugs that were missed in the "beta" testing.

The Games that I'm Really Into!, and Looking Forward to getting, -are those in the Microsoft Flight Simulator series! And / or any other Brands "up in that general Ballpark and Snuff".

Already I have one from their "2,000s" series. Havn't had chance to Learn Up on or Play it yet.

Hope the Weather and Elements havn't damaged it up too bad, -or Any! (I have been Living in the Outdoors. Quite Perfectly Well and OK).

Or I'll have to set down another 20 at Best Buy again. Not to mention the same for the others in the series. Which I plan anyway to get sometime in the future. I'm speaking of Earlier versions rather than just Current, -that way the price stays around 20.

Same story with a Perfectly Good used GPS I once found! A Garmin I think. I'll have to go home and recall just what both the "2,000s' Name is! And do the same regarding the GPS.

Many of you are familiar with Flight Simulator and the like. Some are not.

For those not, -Let me say that it Very Realistically Simulates Flight on many Different kinds of Genuine Aircraft out there! In oh so many Different and Varying Flight Conditions! And YOU are the Pilot!

But there are also some Nice Divergences, -that you Can't actually do in the World of Real, Genuine, Piloting and Flight! Such as a sudden Sneak Preview of the Airport you're heading towards! Learn and Know the Difference.

(Brings to mind a Motto of mine, -"K the D" = "Know the Difference!" And "Know What's What!", which pretty much says the same thing).

These are the kinds of Games which can make a Gamer! Out of pretty much a *Non* Gamer person as me! Normally, I don't have much Time or Interest, -for "the Superfluous Side Matter of Games"! A matter of the Challenge, Adventure, Realism and all of it all! Not only of the Hi Stakes Competition and all inherent in so many a Game.

My Longstanding Love of and Interest in Aviation!, -certainly figures in to this here too!

I Really Look Forward to getting my "Flight Training and Familiarization" under my belt here! And of course Better Yet!, -the Day I can Finally Play! Flight Simulator and its Like!

Maybe some more of you can Honestly Get Bitten by this Bug , -if indeed its your Preference and Cup of Tea, -Too! I can be Pretty Sure that some of you Already Are!
