It was decided. We were getting an XBOX 360, and we definitely weren’t getting a second-hand one, for reasons outlined here.
So I started shopping, in the only way I know how – I turned off the TV, grabbed a mug of hot coffee/an ice cold beer (delete as appropriate, dependant on the position of the sun relative to the yard-arm), settled down into the sofa with my laptop, and hit Google. Hard. I found good prices, bad prices, ridiculous prices and unbelievable prices (which, upon closer inspection, usually turn out to be faulty RROD machines that people are trying to offload as spares/repair on eBay). I found incredible deals, with extra controllers, headsets and a choice of titles, I found decent deals with last year’s most middle-of-the-road game thrown in, and I found consoles on their own that to be honest, seemed a tad expensive. What I didn’t find, though, was any concrete evidence of the elusive Jasper…
That's an actual photo of me (not really). Although I was actually reduced to such insanity (almost).
