Guide To A Merry Techie Christmas - Xbox 360 Is Here!

With Christmas upon us right around the corner, I just thought I'd share a few of my gift ideas:
Xbox 360 Is Here
Yes, after so much hype, Microsoft's Xbox 360 is finally here! That is, if you can get your hands on one. If you were smart enough to pre-order it or stood hours and hours in line to wait for one, then consider yourself lucky. It's the hottest thing on the block this Christmas. Over 25 Xbox 360 games are available for the holiday season, and of course new ones will keep popping up in the near future. Don't get rid of your old Xbox games because you can play those on the 360 too.

The Xbox 360 can also be used as a complete digital media source. It can play DVDs, music, view pictures and play other video media. You can plug your iPod into it and listen to your favorite songs. You can also copy songs over to your 360’s 20GB hard drive. If you have a Windows Media Center PC you can stream video/movies and televisions shows to your 360. The wireless controller makes it convenient to navigate through all of this with your lazy butt on the couch.

The Xbox 360 retails for $399. Hopefully you will be able to find one at one of the following: CompUSA, GameStop, KMart, Circuit City, Wal-Mart, Sears or Best Buy. If you're really, really desperate, cannot find one anywhere and have lots of money to burn, www.amazon.com has them available for an insane $1,500.
