I have had a PS2 since they came out and have been nothing but happy with it. Have a big load of games have played the crap outta them. Stayed up all night with friends playing Tony Hawk. Never had a queation as to which concole I liked... that is until now.
I got a bonus check at work and was wondering what I could get myself for Christmas and not spend the whole thing on myself. I went into Gamestop and they had used XBOXes for $60. So I says to myself, self you should try on of them there XBOX thingys, there are some platform games you wanted to play, and I replies, self you are right. $98 later I leave with an XBOX and 5 games, wow thats not bad.
So what's the problem you ask? I CAN'T BELIEVE I HAVE BEEN THIS DECIEVED BY THE EVIL SONY EMPIRE!!!!!!!!!!! XBOX stinkin rocks.
The load times are so fast. Here I am playing the game and wow the graphics are good... hmmmm no memorycard needed cause it has a hard drive, wow built in ethernet too, I had to buy a modem for my playstation oh I feel so violated.
Now the games, I bought Return to Castle Wolfenstien, Halflife 2, PGR 2, Ureal Tournament and Forza Motorsports Challenge. Played halflife and castle for awhile and then started up forza... holy smokes this games rox. I have played all of the Gran Turismo games and loved everyone of them, Forza is better. Better Graphics, Better gameplay, you can paint your car! put decals on it, and the XBOX controller with its trigger for the gas is way better than using the x button as the gas.
I will still keep my playstation cause I gots lots of games for it, mostly cause of guitar hero :) but when it comes time to buy a new console I will do a really close comparision before I buy one. But for now I think it will take me a longtime to go through the xbox games and man are they cheap now.
oh oh oh I almost forgot, since the xbox has a hard drive I can rip music into folders and have my own soundtracks for the games that have that feature, which forza does. How cool is that, I usually don't like the soundtracks to the games and have always thought it would be really cool to be able to play my own music and still have the games sound effects. Well guess what now I can

* random things
So my Daughter says I have to post 8 randoms habits or unusual things about myself, hmmmmmm.
1. I manage a 50 bed Alzheimer's unit, how did I learn to manage people? I am so glad you asked, in my younger days I was ride supervisor for a carnival. Yep thats right I am one of those guys your MAMA warned you about. Seriously though, by managing the setup teardown hiring and firing and such I learned to be a manager.
2. I became a Grandparent at 27. I don't know you figure it out. Now almost 46 and have 8
3. I like to be a little scared, I guess that is why I ride my quad like a mad man. I love to catch air but at the sametime its kinda scary, makes you all warm and fuzzy inside.
4. I own more vidoe games than my younger son in laws, prolly play them more too, I also owm 3 consoles and 1 handheld. PS1, PS2, PSP and just recently aquired an X-Box (more about that in another post)
5.I have hitch hiked across country 8 times. Would not reccomend it nowdays but it was an adventure. Hopped a train once, would never ever and I mean ever do that again ewwww
6. I cry, yup thats right I am a man and I admit I CRY. I was labeled once as a hopeless romantic cause man if its sad or happy I can cry. I cried at my girls' weddings, I cried when I read the Neff's christmas letter. Wow now that I look at all that maybe I'm a girl.... hold on, nope after checking deffinately a boy whew that was close
7. I love Professional wrestling, and yes I know its fake...wel mostly :P I watch raw every monday and I watch TNA every thursday. I won't buy the PPV's. I also watch UFC and yes I know that real :)
8. Last but not least. The best thing that ever happened in my life was my family. I wish that we could all be together all the time but I know they have to live their lives and make their own way. I am so proud of everyone of my Daughters and son in laws. Everyone of them make my life complete and all the Grandkids well thats just icing on the cake (oh man remember #6)
I am supposed to have 8 other people blog 8 things but I don't know 8 bloggers so... I gues thats it
