Early Christmas for my family.

So we did Christmas last night because the BF and I are headed out of town Monday ( got to watch season finale of dexter before leaving for 2 weeks! lol )

My sister is all sick so i told her to keep her cooties til after we get back, which will be ~ January.

Anyways, about 4 days ago, this 15lb box arrived. Said box should've went to my mom's shop where it was hidden from the BF. but oh well, so I tell my bf, with an award-winning straight face, we shouldn't open it - i don't know what it is - mom accidentally sent a box here instead of the shop.

For the following 2 days, his curiosity is killing ME - because he's like "whats in the box" "i want to look in the box" "im gonna look in the box". I am a TERRIBLE liar, so the fact that i kept this face straight and gave no clues was REALLY AMAZING.

anyways last night, we got together, we sit that 15 lb box in his lap, and he says "is this that box?" i say "just open it!!"

so he opens it. yay a brown box.

so he opens that box. and i'm not shitting you when his face looked like my hammy avatar! :ohmy

XBOX 360 ELite Bundle

the only reason he had no idea was cause the box it came in was like REALLY BIG.

God, it was so worth the expression on his face. He's wanted on since it came out but wanted to wait since he heard of all the recalls. I figure its best to get one now instead of next year when we're hearing about the Xbox 720* due out soon.

I dont think i'll ever be able to lie like that again. I normally start smiling like a fuckin goober when i try to lie :x

awesome, he will love it.

I do reccomend getting the little cooling pack thingy that plugs into the back of the xbox though, itll help it to last a long time.. and keep the reciept just incase anything hapens, its got a 3 year warranty.

You need to SERIOUSLY set up a fan to blow on your 360 whenever it is on. Do not ever...EVER forget to do this. The 360 heats up like you would not believe and even though it comes with a 3 year warranty on the 3 rings of death (you'll find out what that means someday =( ), to prolong its life, use a fan ALWAYS.

And grats =D

Great gift! My stepson wants a 360, but I wanted him to have a Wii. The kid is way too sedentary and I though that the movement required with a Wii might be vaguely good for him. I might just be overly optimistic though. Dang...Wiis are hard as heck to find. I bought it in Sept and had it in my closet all that time.

If he had seen the box come I would have been subjected to the same "What is in the box" routine.
