I'm still confused because I got a xbox 360 out of the blue. It turns out that my brother asked for one, and my parents thought I'd enjoy one too and since I really hadn't asked for anything they liked the idea.

Now I must figure out what to do with the thing (after figuring out how to take it to Munich, damn it's heavy). I've heard people play games with it, haven't done that in a couple of years, eh.

Been playing with my brother's xbox today and I'm impressed with the way it makes photo slideshows and works with the ipod, though.
