Well, I was considering selling on my 360 seeing as I have played it for just a few hours and have little inclination to play it at the mo. It hasn’t even been out of the box since we moved.

Apparently though, prices fpr new consoles are coming down right now so even if I do sell it I won’t get much for it So I suppose I’ll keep it and make the effort to have a crack :p

.. has been a crazy few days already.

1. 24th Dec: H’s Granddad sadly passed away at home from his cancer, it was really sad and we all missed him greatly over the Christmas period
2. 25th Dec: We stayed at home the night of the 24th so we could have a Christmas morning just the three of us, it was really nice to have a Christmas breakfast just the three of us and then opened up our presents etc.. then we went over to see H’s parents and family for a couple of hours, it was good to see them and Sam helped to cheer them up a little. On to my Mum’s for dinner and loads more presents, it was really good to see my family too - my Dad and Step-wife came down for the day and we all had dinner and a few drinks in the evening, then onto Pictionary and Charades till the wee small hours.
3. 26th Dec: Back to H’s parent’s place where we did more of the Festive thing and this continued over the 27th Dec and 28th Dec, good times albeit unfortunately overshadowed by Len’s passing..

I still have three xbox games to unwrap and play, “Mass Effect”, “Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga” and “Virtual Tennis 2″ so at some point I will have to get round to doing that!

After selling my Marshall half stack and a whole pile of computer bits, I had raised enough “spare” cash (is there such a thing?) and bought an xbox 360 with a couple of games. The primary reason for buying it was that I am assuming some point in the future when “things” start to go downhill I will be more housebound so it will give me something to do.. plus because I have sold pretty much all my guitar stuff and computer stuff I thought I deserved a little recompense.

So far I have only set it up and had a little play but it is cool, definitely gotta get some more interesting games than the ones that it came with.. also I can’t log on to the xbox live site to set my gamertag and download some demos etc.. seems it is down
