We now have an Xbox 360

Posted on May 11th, 2008 at 10:57am

My brother and sister recently decided that they simply MUST have an xbox 360. There was no way my mum was going to buy them one, so they asked dad. Who gave in to their begging after - oh - about 2 seconds.

Yesterday, dad picked Josh up at 9am to do stuff (they ended up shopping. My brother's least favourite sport!) and arranged to meet me and my sister outside our work at 1pm.

When Taylor finally got out of work, she made us go on a hunt for the xbox.

First, we went to HMV. But Tay didn't like the deal they were offering, so we went to Game. She didn't like the deal they had on there, so we went to Zavvi (Virgin Megastore). The deal they were offering wasn't good enough, so she made us go back to HMV.

She haggled with the poor sod in HMV and managed to get the xbox 360 (with a hard drive), Grand Theft Auto IV and Guitar Hero III for £250. We saw an xbox 360 earlier - just the core, so no hard drive - for £200. Each of the games are about £50. So she managed to get a REALLY good deal!

They also got a 20metre ethernet cable and another controller. EVERYTHING together cost less than £300!

I learnt a valuable lesson yesterday: Always take my sister shopping with me!

Josh had the xbox set up yesterday, while Tay was at her boyfriend's house. However, because he's not yet 18, he made ME sign up for the xbox live account thing. And I don't even get to play on the bloody thing until Tuesday.

My brother has a Xbox 360 and he loves it. Congrats on getting such a great deal on the Xbox 360, I wish I could haggle like that.

Hell, that is a good deal indeed! And worth the drive aswell, I'd say..
I honestly wish I could get my dad to buy me stuff that easily - I would've gotten an Eee pc ages ago, haha xD
But hey, it's been a really really hell of a long time since we talked, how've you been?
