I sold my soul today

Yes, I did it, I finally did it. I do not have any excuse, I do not call it sanity and I still cannot believe that I gave away a lump sum to Microsoft, a sum that is more than a month's rent. I gave it all away to get what you see in the pictures below.

Yes, this is XBox 360 Limited Halo 3 Edition. It was 25 Euros expensive than the Premium version and both do not have anything different apart from the cool Halo finish that this one has. Was it worth the extra money? HELL YEAH! Plus, it comes with the 65 nm Falcon processor, which will put an end to the 3 rings of death (Hopefully). So why did I do it? Why when I was pro PS3 all the time? The reason is simple, I am still pro PS3 and i will get it when the time comes, but for now, the reasons for me are:

  • Gears of War
  • Bioshock
  • Mass Effect
  • Halo 3
  • Ace Combat 6
  • Condemned 2
Need I say more? Well anyway, once i take the box apart, more pictures will follow. By the way, I do not have a TV at the moment. If my attempt to run xbox on my laptop via a TV tuner card fails, then I will get a TV as well.
This is why we earn...

its sad to see another sane guy jumping on the bandwagon.

:D but all is good as long as it makes you happy. Reminds me of "i am happy,i must remain happy". :D

and why am i having a feeling that the last line of your post was a point on me..

well, not really sameer, but now that you have mentioned it, then yes, it falls on you. This also brings me to your religious devotion towards spirituality. The problem is that sameer, your faith is tied to things that you can feel. It is exactly the same reason why people resorted to idle worship in the first place. people want to feel to believe that is why they go astray and find solace in concepts that give them false sense of security and divine power.

For you, its spirituality, for them it was dark magic and astrology.

Finally sameer, your faith in one thing remains blind till you get disappointed.In faith you must ask questions and should not question faith itself.

and finally, this machine of mine, could have been yours if you had missed just one of your workshops. The only difference in you now and the sameer who was in giki is that, then you paid nothing to follow a faith blindly, now you are paying through your nose to do the same.

The question that you should ask yourself is that, why is it that only you has taken this course when all of your friends are very content with the life that they are passing right now?

Awesome! Congratulations man, I'm sure you're gonna have a great time. Yup, no point earning if you won't pamper yourself a little now and then. :)

jiggar. i dont want to care much about the logic involved behind my actions.. life remains fit that way :d

but since it troubles you a lot at times..let me tell you that the reason why majority does not take such courses is that they are not interested in it.

Its Simple. there are reasons to make me interested in such things.. Your very question is the answer: the reason that i take these courses and others do not, is that i am not content without them.. and that makes me ask you a question. why do people pray at all when there is a majority who is content without praying or infact believing in God at all..

Anyways. i believe this is something that should be discussed in private because lal masjid is just a sector away from my area. :D

Umair Azfar Khan said...

you'll need to come to finland for that... my oh my.. the graphics... THE GRAPHICS!!!

I-T said...

The graphics bleh.

You should see my laptop run BIOSHOCK on full settings. Now thats something. BAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!!!

Oh btw I finished Halo 3 and Gears of War this weekend. I think halo 3's gameplay sucked. GOW had a good gameplay. The reason I love the XBox360 is the multiplayer story mode thingamagic.

Game on buddy. i'll play one of those online games with you one of these days.

Dang, I'm being left behind, man. :P

Baism you can always catch up and IT, if the new games here were not criminally expensive here, i wouldve bought and played all by now

70 euros for halo 3 and bioshock. this is not expensive, this is being criminally expensive

a guy making 4500$ paying 50$ for a game is not much

but a guy making 2100 Euros and paying 70 euros means that he is actually payng 140$ for that game.

no wonder USA is going to be my next stop
