So, it turns out that I bought the Xbox 360 late last night. I read a few days ago that Wal-Mart was going to release a lot of 360s on New Year's day at mid-night. I called three local ones in town and they had no idea how many they were getting, but they would sell them at 12:01 am on Jan. 01, 2006.

Well, apparently spending New Year's isn't very fun or romantic (just kidding), so I had to wait until 3:00 am and figured no one would have any by then. At 3 am I called all three local Wal-Marts and all they had left over were the core systems. So I called a store about 35 minutes away and they said they had some. We showed promptly at 3:30 am and snagged one of the last two they had in stock. After browsing the games I selected Project Gotham Racing 3. Words can barely describe how good PGR3 looks, just unbelievable. I haven't had the chance to hook it up to an HDTV, but the next time I visit my parents, you can bet it will be hooked up to the 60" Grand Wega (drool).
