I've been up town today and apparently my XBOX 360 is in the shop! The sales lady said that they had now received enough deliveries to match up with the pre-orders and so everyone who has put their name down for one will get it. The only down side is that they will not be opening at midnight to sell them, instead they will probably be opening early in the morning of the 2nd. This doesn't bother me that much, I'd much prefer to get up early than brave the middle of town at midnight.

I sometimes wonder if I'm perhaps a bit too old to get excited about new games machines. But then I think HDTV game graphics, media streaming, all that power. And I get excited any way.
