BUMP POINTLESS THREADS ALWAYS! NEVER FOGHAT!
Anyway, Sexbox 360 launched here last night. 12:01 on the dot. Anyone who broke it would be severely heckled and embarassed by those nerds who waited patiently.
I could have got mine, but I decided that I wasn't funky enough to send instant messages using a controller and passed. With time, perhaps I could be funky enough.
$40 million dollars worth of first day sales allegedy, better than a Harry Potter book and Lord of the Rings movie COMBINED.
I lol'd.
Seeing as how I work in a place that sells 360s (I'm so calling it XBOX SPINNER NOW because no-one's jumping in and i'll just spin around on the spot and try to start my own trendy slogan) and I looked on the computer to find out how many we sold.

Hilarious. Considering it was cheaper than retail ($629 instead of $650, GOOD PRICE FOR NUTMEG) and all games were down to $75 (even the $110 ones - they'd sold a few of them at least) it was quite funny.
There was a video going of the various hype movies that I saw sometime last year (with all the staff talking about how the 360 is apparently better than sex AND beer, and then they all drop their various e-tags and make idiots of themselves to be spread on the Internet). Man that J.Allard guy is an moron. Shaved heads are cool if your name is Samuel L Jackson. White people who have single-letter first names just look like morons. You can't argue with science!
Oh, the demo SPINNER doesn't work still. GOOD WORK ALL ROUND, MICRASAWFT!
