Stuff I’ve bought recently
Apparently I’ve earned 11.000,- for my vacation ("feriepenge"), and I actually thought I was gonna be in debt after finishing my stay at the European Film College, so I’ve bought some stuff these past weeks.

Xbox 360 becomes more awesome
With the recent fall update of Xbox 360, Microsoft introduced a series of new features. I haven't really gone in to depth with checking them out, except for two. The first one is Xbox Originals, a service that let's you download original Xbox games for the console, they cost 1,200 Microsoft Points, which is around 110 DKK, so far the following games have been released on Xbox Originals:
Halo: Combat Evolved
Fable
Psychonauts
Crimson Skies: High Road to Revenge
Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath of Cortex
Fuzion Frenzy
Fahrenheit
I've been wanting to try Fable, Fahrenheit and Crimson Skies for a long time, and 110 DKK is pretty cheap for those games. So far I've bought Crimson Skies, it takes up 4.1 GBs of space though, so I have to be careful not to fill my hard disk with games.
The other awesome feature is DivX and Xvid playback, I tested it yesterday by putting an Xvid video of 28 Weeks Later on my USB Drive, inserting the drive into the 360's port and then playing it from the media section. It runs very smooth, you can even rewind and go fast forward, and if you stop watching you can resume the playback later. Now I just want to be able to download tv shows and movies, a feature that's been available in the US for some quite sometime. Today it will actually also launch in UK, Ireland, France and Germany, but it'll probably still be some time before we see it in Denmark.
Guitar Hero 3
We're seven guys at the school who play a lot of Guitar Hero 2, so we split the price of the third one and it arrived today! We're currently unlocking all the songs in Career Coop, and we've managed to get most of them on hard so far. The songs are awesome as well, Sabotage, Paranoid, Welcome to the Jungle, Ruby, etc.
EB Games has got an offer you can’t refuse
Well, it’s up to you, but it’s a pretty neat offer. It’s very simple, you give them an Xbox 360 Premium, three Xbox 360 games and 99,- DKK, and they give you an Xbox 360 Elite. The first thing I thought when I read this was that you’d probably have to bring some new 360 games, but according to a friend of mine, who works next to an EB Games shop, it doesn’t matter, as long as it’s an Xbox 360 game. If you want an Elite that’s pretty cheap. If you just bring a Premium they charge you 1299,- DKK for the Elite.
This is what you get when you buy an Elite: 120 GB HDD, HDMI output and all accessories in black (controller, console, headset and cables), so it’s not really a huge improvement, but if you really want one and you already have a 360 this is probably the best offer you’ll get.
