I haven't kept up with Xbox Arcade at all... so much awesome shit out there and I have no idea it exists.

Anyway, I'm seriously considering this:
- Xbox 360 250GB Black Friday Bundle (includes Halo 4, Darksiders II, Tomb Raider, and Batman: Arkham City) $189.00

That's basically a brand new 3X60, with a wireless controller and 250GB hard drive for about $120. I know for a fact that Arkham City is still, at the very least, $30. The others are no less than $10 apiece, and that's if you get real lucky and find them dirt cheap on some used website, like Amazon or eBay. I was looking at Cash Converters (basically a chain of high-end pawn shops) a month or two ago and they wanted $145 for a used 250GB 360.

Fuck, that's an incredible price.

Get a new 360 or get my alignment fixed so I don't wreck and kill myself/someone else? Decisions decisions.

[BLiND]

Hmmm… I think the 360 might take the cake on this one… You're strong enough to control the car, right?

[Reiŋ Ξŋgel]

If I'm not, that's what those steel railings are there for, right?

This picture cracks me up every single year:

[BLiND]

Hahahahhahaa.
Guard rails are to GUARD when you lose the road…. For real.
