Sorry about not posting in centuries (I was having too much fun with my SanDisk Cruzer Micro 2GB and my Xbox 360 Elite!)! Anyway, here's a little bit about my two digital holiday presents: one giving me my own personal 2GB, and one giving me vicarious driving enjoyment!
In November, I got my SanDisk Cruzer Micro 2GB flash drive for only $20 (a steal!), and since have loaded it with PortableApps, in addition to a modified copy of my Documents folder. However, I still can't get the PortableApps launcher to autorun once I insert the drive...
In late December, my generous parents gifted me an Xbox 360 Elite
! That's right, not just the hard drive-deprived Xbox 360 Arcade, nor the average Xbox 360 Pro, but the Xbox 360 Elite
, loaded with 120GB of pure HDD space (sadly factory-clogged by Xbox Live Arcade game demos, getting you to feed Microsoft more money), a sleek black finish for controller and console, and HDMI output, delivering the delicious 1080p graphics of that custom ATI GPU in the best way possible
. (Stuck in Acronym-Land? Sorry!
) Anyway, I also got Burnout Revenge (stress relief + gorgeous cars, until they crash... + amazing real-world locations + free downloadable content, or DLC + $30 price + fun = !!!), in addition to the three bundled games: Marvel Ultimate Alliance (100% waste, I wish I could sell this game, but it came in the same case as Forza 2 :() , Forza Motorsport 2 (photorealistic graphics + amazing cars + astonishingly difficult, beautiful tracks + realistic physics + PHOTO MODE!!! + DLC = mixed bag), and Hexic HD (a full Xbox Live Arcade game on the HDD, the MSN game, now in HD on your X360). I have been having mondo fun with my X360 Elite, but I still wish Burnout Revenge would let you save more than 20 paltry Burnout Clips (I have 120 GB, people!), and that Burnout Revenge also had actual new cars up for download, instead of promotionally repainted versions of in-game cars.Those are my two excellent holiday presents. Sound off about my gifts and gripes in the comments to this post!
UPDATE:
Here's my Xbox Live gamercard!

The one thing that I don't like about XBOX 360 is that it's Microsoft and bound to fail sometime. My friend's 360 started getting a RRoD (Red Ring of Death) just a year or two after he got it. The cooling system failed. And his warranty expired. That's why I got a PS3.
Yes, XBOX 360 has better graphics, but PS3 has the games and the gameplay. (I'm kinda going off of MLB 2K8 for XBOX 360 (rated 6.4 on review sites) and MLB 08 (rated 8.7) for PS3)
(Sorry, mistypes and misunderstandings in my previous post made me delete it)
