hola,
how's your week going so far?
how was Mother's Day? what you get? or, what you get for moms?
i actually have been busy, but hopefully not too busy for this.
have you ever ordered something that has a related image for it?
like at a franchise-same-comfort-american-cuisine restaurant like a Tuby Ruesday, or I Wish It Wasnt Monday or a BananaWasp...etc.
you see an image of a shake with the whipped cream and cherry, and you say to yourself, "i'm gonna get that and the steak that comes with it...heh"
well, i found a post...someone selling a 360 with 120gb HD for extra $...and has an image.
i was like wow, the xbox360 looks great, and the background was very homely...the seller seems very genuine.
now, dont you agree that with a wholesome down-home image of an xbox360 sitting on a counter with the TV behind it and some cables...with the disc tray open displaying the XB Arcade disc sitting in it, is what you are gonna pay for?
check out the post below:
isnt that a great uploaded image?
i would love to buy that xbox360.
but lookie here...
someone is selling the same exact console on the same counter with the same cables out the back and the tv...wow, there are two rooms out there in the world that are just alike...imagine the possibilities.
its like finding two lost siblings.
so i went out of my way and had these two post-ers/sellers connect...i told them that they had the exact same furniture and TV and cables.
the two persons could have been twins, separated at birth, bought the same kind of xbox360, the same furniture, the same everything...well, it didnt turn out to be a hollywood ending...i had really thought i was gonna make two people happy...well, oh well, NoHappyMealToy for them!
but i will keep searching for this arcade-disc-fed xbox360...perhaps i should look for it in the engadget universe...

YAY!!! BlogSpot login is back up!!!
Whew, i thought for a moment that when the BlogSpot login page was down, it was following in the footsteps of the hacked PSN network.
i was hoping my blogspot page wouldnt be compromised of its vital opinionated information...OH NO!!!! haha
i think the Internet Darwin Rules may have been implemented recently, i have not found the ONE juicy post that just sounded the MOST ridiculous...but wait...stupidity always evolves and finds a way to squirm into the circle of life.
a seller posted a white xbox360...you know what, just take a gander at the screenshot...^_^

Color May Vary
hola, how was everyone's (all 3 loyal followers) Mother's Day?
mine went well, it was a good family weekend, until a couple of us got sick and as a loving family passed it on...
but, i am back, and as when something is new to you, you miss it...so i have very much missed uploading my blog opinion...heh
well, as always, i have found another uninformed seller.
i came across this post selling a 20GB HD Xbox360.
clicked on it to read more...and the person is selling:
- xbox360 console
- 20GB Hd
- HD component av cable
- standard av cable
and finally, the piece de resistance
- wireless controller - COLOR MAY VARY
how come this seller cant tell you straight up what color controller you will be getting?
will he match the controller up with the race of the person???
well, i know there are the white controllers, black controllers, red controllers...
there is the pink controller...perhaps for the Susan G. Komen Fight Breast Cancer peeps? or for the LGBT/GLAAD group??
then there is the green controller...only one comes to mind...no, im not thinking HALO Master Chief...im thinking that hot chick from Star Trek tv series and the rebooted Star Trek movie, hmmm...
the silver controller...umm, for the Tin Man from Wizard of Oz???
dont get me started about the Fable III controller...this will be a full length tangent for another day...
but wait!!! i dont see no yellow controller!! there are just as many AZN gamers of any other race out there. who gave you guys the red-suited mustachioed plumber? what about a group of adventurers with huge swords riding on wild yellow chocolate-sounding ostrich-like birds always in search of that last final fantasy? i demand justice!!! i want equal representation of the YELLOW controller!!!
wait, what?? there is a YELLOW controller?? really??? well, i'll be!! there was one - back in 2007, but but but, they werent being sold...they were being given AWAY!!! are the yellow controllers not good enuff to be sold like the other controllers??? i demand EQUALITY in retail....if the yellow controllers are good enuff to be manufactured in a FAR EAST country like the others then why can it not be sold like the others???
JUSTICE JUSTICE JUSTICE DAMMIT!!!
even the Blue Man Group has a BLUE controller!!!
hmph, can i at least get the power brick with the 20GB HD xbox with its 'color may vary' controller???

Off the CL Beast beaten path
im gonna throw out a hypothetical 'bone' out there...which would you prefer?
1. receive a free xbox360 with ONLY the power cable
or
2. buy an xbox360 with 60GB HD, AV cable, power cable, and 2-3 controllers from the same person who would give a free console (above) all for $100
i would choose neither.
why? i prefer the hacked PSN network of the PS3.
why? so that i CANT play any online games, and still say that the SONY PS3 is the best gaming console out there. i love my SOLO CAMPAIGNS!!!
i want to go noob-tubing in the streets of Cuba in Black Ops...in the solo campaign.
i want to drop in on Killzone 3 and shoot some Helghast soldiers...in the solo campaign.
i want to drive Jun around in the warthog...in the solo campaign...ohhh wait, sorry, wrong console ^_^
hey dont get me wrong, i aint dissing the PS3, i love my PS3, my Xbox360, my Wii (yes and yes), my Dreamcast (which also loves my Wii), and other gaming consoles and portable gaming devices. i was just adding my sarcastic answer to my hypothetical question above.
so which is it???
the free powered xbox360?
or
the HD - controllers - AV cable - power cable ladened xbox360 for $100??

Funny Contradicting CraigsList Post
hola, my Blog name is NoHappyMealTOY.
this is my first blog, and thanks to a friend's suggestion, i am in the blogging realm.
i am an avid gamer and i like to look for good game bargains - used and new - at b&m stores and online. well, in my soul-game-searching, i have come across the best online site for buying new and/or used games and accessories. but this site not only saves me $$$, but it also introduced me to the funniest and most contradicting things sellers will say to sell their wares...gaming wares...get your minds out of the gutter!
i saw a post from one seller selling his FACTORY SEALED Playstation 1 Dual Shock Platform.here is a quote from the seller, "...Im selling my mint factory sealed Play Station1 Dual Shock Platform never played. I opened the box for pictures only. Unfortunately my dog decided to chew up the top piece of styrofoam while I was takeing pictures, but the bottom piece of stryofoam is there and I assure you this is mint. Has all factory booklets, cords and controller still have all the twist ties on them and wraping...", and from the same post, another quote, "...Im a avid vintage collector, so I really wouldnt be selling this otherwise. You can come and see and test it all (besides the rare game that Im not opening). I have plenty of PS1 games you can use to test it with..."
now if he was an avid vintage collector, then he would know to NOT open the MINT FACTORY SEALED Playstation 1 Dual Shock Platform, but i did notice that he described himself as a 'VINTAGE' collector. perhaps the PS1 was used?? who will know? but we will never find out, because its been OPENED! and he even asks the buyer to come test it out...why??? why??? he says that it has never been played!!! and he also has plenty of PS1 games you can pop in and try it out that it works. if its opened, dont state that its 'MINT' and 'FACTORY SEALED'...
if i was a buyer, i would like the dog-chewed-top-piece-of-styrofoam, at least it would make my 'MINT' and 'FACTORY SEALED' PlayStation 1 Dual Shock Platform truly a one of a kind vintage collector's edition console that i have been looking for.
