Back on the band wagon again

I don't think I've ever mentioned the official scheduled release date of the Asia, English Language version of Star Ocean The Last Hope. I'm not too sure what that date was anymore either, since the game has already shipped from Play-Asia. With it comes a shinny new Xbox 360 Arcade unit with 256 MB's of on-board memory and a 65nm chipset. That, combined with the NXE's ability to rip games to the hard drive, should make for a much quieter gaming experience. Good thing too, since because of the idiotic design of the system, I can't use the HDMI and TosLink optical audio cables at the same time, therefore I won't be able to use my 5.1 headphones with it until I get a $50 adapter. I missed the 360. The PS3 may be nice and shiny, but it still has no games. I can't wait to catch up on The Last Remnant, Otomedius G, Ninja Blade, and DoDonPachi DOJ BLEX.
