A few weeks ago I made the wife swear to me that she would do everything in her power to make sure that under no circumstances that I bought an Xbox 360. I now realize that that my insisting on that was a landmark moment in self awareness.
I can feel the hysteria setting in. I’m drawn to IGN and GameSpot repeatedly throughout the day. I lust over screenshots of Project Gotham Racing 3 and Perfect Dark Zero. I know if I got one, I’d play it like crazy for a few weeks and then it would only be powered up every now and then. Besides, I need to save my money for the revolution.
Despite that, I still spend a good portion of my waking hours trying to figure out a loophole in my agreement that would let me off the hook… I’ve got enough gift certificates to Sears to get one. That wouldn’t be buying it, right? How about if I win one in a contest? Does theft count?
