On Tuesday morning, I called my local GS regarding the status of the Xbox360.  To my surprise, they had a few in stock (and Prems at that).  Now, I know that I've expressed my dedication to current gens (speakably for the Xbox), but the lack of support from M$ on the Xbox thus tempted me, and I really didn't feel like waiting until later this year (for Rev & PS3) until picking up a new console (or for more intriguing titles to be announced for the Xbox).  With no guarantee that there would be any 360s available for later sale, I eagerly darted to the store & picked up a 360 Prem along with PDZ.

With all of that out of the way, I'll have to confess that I haven't played the system for more than an hour (on Tuesday).  For one,  I didn't want to increase the possibility of a probable system overheat, two, that gigantic powerbox (which comes with the system) has me fearing a huge light bill.  So I'm going to attempt to keep gaming on this thing to a complete minimum.

That's not to say that I don't like what I'm seeing so far.  I'm rather impressed with the system (and enjoy PDZ's lush graphics) and look forward to getting back on XBLive soon.  I just wish the system wasn't so darn power hungry.  My goodness!!  I'm still looking at purchasing Kameo (my first choice) & Condemned next for the lineup (& perhaps Oblivion sometime down the line).

With that said, I believe it's safe to say that I don't think I'll be purchasing either a Rev or PS3 this year, just because...and I'll still be playing the current gens quite regularly for the simple fact that they don't get hot enough to fry eggs off of within a few minutes.  Enticed with the close arrival of E3 06.

..And for the record, no.  I don't have an HDTV, nor do I plan on investing in one for a while.
