Funny title I know but It’s late.
At around 4pm GMT time I headed in to my local game store and purchased myself a shiny new xbox 360. 
Yes I know it’s old news and everyone has one, but I don’t care, I need to blog about something. Wasn’t too bad a buy, at £249.99 with free Assassins Creed (RRP £39.99 currently). I tried to have the choice of game changed for CoD4, but they wouldn’t go for it as the discount wouldn’t of worked, since I managed to buy the bundle a day after the offer ended. 
I bought myself the premium console as you may have noticed from the price, so I now have a legible reason to stay in bed all day, playing games wirelessly. 
The surprising thing is I haven’t actually switched the console on yet. It’s all plugged in and sat waiting, I just ended up watching CSI (new series) and Shameless (new series). I’m also moving into my new flat tomorrow, so the console will go back into the box! 
Oh well, at least I have something to look forward to opening .. again. 
Due to the manufacture date of my console I should have the new 65nm ‘falcon’ chip installed. The guy in the shop seemed non-to-happy that I actually asked if it had the newer CPU.
