So neither Rudeboy nor myself had any big plans to get a 360, so we had to rely on a mutual friend to pick up this slick Halo 3 edition.  Our buddy is kind of funny, and I had to go ahead and break the seal for him so he wouldn’t be able to freak out and return the thing.  So, it’s opened, and there’s no going back now.  Right away I have to say the color scheme is very nice in person, much cooler than either a black or a white one.  The green controller looks very nice as well.  All the internal packaging was either green or orange; a nice touch.  The power brick could be hollowed out and used for lodging in your average favela, so that’s a recycling option in a couple of years.  My take on the Halo 3 version: probably right up there in cool with the black “sports” Dreamcast, but not quite as cool as a top-loading NES (with dog bone d-pad).  Apologies for not quite matching the sexiness of the famous PSP licking shot.  Look, I can’t help that I’m an ugly man.
