Gearheads of War

So I had to have a repair guy come over today to fix my A/C and ceiling fan. Yeah, I know both going out in the middle of the summer! Needless to say I've been cooking for the past three days and using my small fan to keep my electronics cool. Hey they come first lol. So as the repair guy aka John, came by I was playing a game of Prey and them messing with some of the LIVE ARCADE stuff. Pac-man just came out today and I decided to take the plunge and spend the 400 points. Say what you will but Pac-man will always be fun, even if the Atari version sucked.

So John is working on the A/C and was like wow so that's the 360 huh? Yeah sure is man. He told me about how he was waiting for the PS3 but wasn't sure about the 600 price point. I told him, "Dude why wait for a system that's gonna slim pickings at launch and be 200 bucks more, and have you seen Gears of War yet?" I then showed him the trailers and the 360 E3 montage on the marketplace. He was stoked and decided, ok that's it! I was gonna wait for a PS3 but that Gears game and Lost Planet look insane, I'm gonna get one this weekend. I give him my gamertag and told him once he signed up to send me a friend invite and we'd chill on a game of Street Fighter. He was freaking over the online play and we talked about how much fun it was playing in the arcades. I even let him go a few rounds online and he loved it. Goes to show that if more people just saw what the system offered...heck they sell themselves.
