I was looking over my games and I've bought a LOT of stuff through great deals or interest that have popped up over the last few months and I haven't finished yet.   Here's a sampling.  

Suffice to say that even if there is a drought in new content, the back catalogs are deep enough that I'll never be wanting for gaming.

1 - Games for me. None of this Flash-game crap like on the phone.   Also, a complete lack of shovelware clogging up the game selection process.  The RPG selection for this platform is great.    I have Final Fantasy 7, Disgea: Afternoon of Darkness and Persona 3 Portable on mine right now.   Oh.  I also have Little Big Planet on there too.

Last Saturday, I got myself the Xbox 360 Slim.

My daughter was watching a TV show through my old 2006-era Xenon 360 (Windows Media Center Extender) and the fans on the thing were in high gear almost constantly, creating the jet-engine sound we all know and love.   My usual solution to this is to run compressed air through the 360 and hope the majority of the dust comes out of the new vent-ports on the unit.  

A ton of dust later, I turned it back on and the fans were still running in high gear and the thing was still making a ton of noise.

Once upon a time, during what was Microsoft's E3 2008 presentation, they unveiled a very ambitious project called Xbox Live Primetime. 

They said that they would bring the excitement of live gameshows to Xbox Live where all players could participate and potentially win prizes.   It would be online, interactive and very much fun.

So I'm an Aerosmith fan. I love the band. My first album was Pump and I listened to Get a Grip until my casette broke.
I actually have a Bronze Power Listener badge on the Zune Social for Aerosmith:

So I was somewhat looking forward to Guitar Hero: Aerosmith but at 49.99 for the game when it came out, I decided to wait till the price dropped before buying.
