I'm such a fanboi!

Well I just pre-ordered the Halo 3 Special Edition Xbox 360. I'm a Halo tragic. At least it will go well with my Halo 3 Legendary Edition helmet.

I bought my Xbox 360 in April this year, so I will have had it for not quite six months before giving the girl away (actually, trading it in for a poultry $300!). It's performed flawlessly, except for a few hiccups; but I wanted to get a recently manufactured model - and that meant getting either an Xbox 360 Elite, or the Halo 3 Edition. Both have HDMI, which I have no (immediate) use for, and - apparently - a better cooling solution.

I wanted a recently manufactured 360 based on the belief that newer models will be less prone to overheating. That's the sensible, left brain decision. The rest of me wants a cool, custom Xbox 360 and to play with a differently-coloured controller. Oh, and to be the envy of other fan-boys.

Tragic.
