As previously mentioned, I had figure out what kind of welcome gift I wanted from Amazon.com.  Well I went ahead an used Amazon.com’s ’send to a friend’ link and requested this Xbox 360 premium bundle.  I never heard from the ‘giver’ about the item, so I assumed that the email got lost, or they decided that it wasn’t a ‘productivity tool’ and I would never see the Xbox 360.  The next day, they were out of stock.  Now I was totally bummed since they didn’t respond and they were out of stock again.  Meaning they would have had to order it the day I requested, or I was out of luck again.  I have been scouring Amazon.com for an item and have yet to find one.  I gave up hope last week and decided to wait for the next generation of ‘video iPod’ to come out.  I have a 40GB iRiver MP3 player which is great, so I didn’t need a new one now.

My luck changed this morning!  I got an email from my ‘giver’ and she said it would ship on 4/17!  That’s Monday, which means it should be here by next weekend.  As soon as I get it hooked up, your all invited to come over and play.  I’ll need to grab a few extra controllers via my Amazon.com gift cards maybe, and a few extra multiplayer games.  My brother is coming to visit on just the right weekend.
