Today I had some really great excite over at Patrick‘s place in The Manor. I got to play with his new Xbox 360 that he recently purchased from the US. This was the first time I ever played any video game on a 42 inch HD LCD TV (Toshiba). Let me tell you something, it was addicting.
Patrick first showed me how to play Fallout 3. It took some time to get used to it but then we played for about 3 levels. After one hour, we switched to Halo 3. Wow, I got addicted. While Patrick was editing some pictures for me, I kept playing. I forgot how long I played but it took a long, long time before I got killed (actually my player was killed earlier since I did not know how to fire the guns correctly. Once I figured out….). Finally, a grenade killed my player and we ended the night.
Looks like I will have many more nights playing with Patrick’s Xbox 360 in the near future 🙂
Below are some Fallout 3 pictures on Patrick’s HD LCD he took for me:
If you are interested in getting legal copies of the above games, please visit Gamescorner, a store run by my French Viet Kieu friend.
Patrick has an interesting Vietnam and Southeast Asia blog at this URI: http://www.westernkennedy.com/news/
isn’t it a Microsoft product? 😀
The game console is but not the game. Xbox are pretty cool and you can install Linux on them 🙂
Is the Xbox 360 sold in Vietnam?
Yeah, why not? Most electronics can be bought in Vietnam. The iPhone, iPhone 3G and even the Google G1 Android phone is here. This 360 was actually shipped to Vietnam from the US though.
