More details on it soon.
Here I am with another one of those Intermission in my long running blogs about my past.. I felt this was necessary as a LOT has happened and also many of my friends were asking me WHAT has happened and where I was for so many days... so you all can find out everything here :D
The first Big thing that Happened was that I bought a Xbox 360 on March 22nd and That too thanx to my Good Friend Gagan I got a Superb offer of $300 on it. I went on my bike top pickit up from the courier office and got it back.. unpacked and did everything with it. I enjoyed it a lot. and the Next day itself I got it LIVe and completed Gears of war in 6 hours in online Co-op with gagan :lol: It was AMAZING fun.. we played like we were some elite S.W.A.T team or something :P talking on the mic and everything.. it was my first ever online Co-Op experience and it was Funnnnnnnnnnnnn.
After that I met a lot of others online and talked to them too, like Peldon, Interstate,played gears with Gagan and Kbshaffer and made many new friends too.
My Home theater got a New member** :D it took me a lot of time to think where to place it and do the wiring.. it was a tiring job but worth it nevertheless. I even did a H/W reivew of it for my brother as for every console we owned till date .. we would close our eyes and open it together to see the console at a time :P in a way to say its both our console.As they are in Hindi I didnt Upload them here :P You can Find them HERE
I made a HUGE blog about it in 360 you can Check it out.
As for other things.. I had my 1st year end of semester exams for the WHOLE may.. and then went to Saudi Arabia and Dubai for Vacation. stayed there for More than a month.. and during these two months I was unable to constantly come online at GS. hence no contact with you guys :P
But Man! the trip the was awesome! After going there no one will think that its a Desert land.. it has more greenary than india :lol: But they are a very conservative bunch.. lot of strict rules.. but still good. You see more fillipino people there than Arabs :P The Cars there are SUPER fast min. Speed is like 100KMPH there! where as no one can go above 70 here in indian roads :P Also.. cars are too cheap.. you get honda Citys for half the Price! Petrol is 20 TIMES! cheaper and watewr costs more than petrol :P
On The First day itself My father Bought me a new cell which was a Nokia 6300, I selected it after comparing eveything.. and its price to Features ratio is just amazing! got it for $50 less than in India :P And the BEST part was that.. after going there.. I got a PS3! I got it on June 14th as an Early B'day Gift :D I searched for that thing in EVERy shop I went and after searching and searching one fine day I found a hidden lane of Games (like some secret area in a game it was :lol: ) and I searched it and got a PS3 which was Ntsc J version( no matter as Ps3 is region free and I will keep my PS2 just as I did for the Psone) and I got it... for an amazing $400 less than what I get here :shock: that was a steal! I even got Resistance free with it :D
The first ever TV I ran it on was a 4" B/W tv for testing :lol: later played it on a 18" CRT TV with Mono sound :P I wanted very much to come home and play it in my home theater. I completed Resistance there and had a Lot of fun playing with the bullseye, thats one of the best guns in a Game IMO.. there are so many unique things you can do with that thing.
During the remaining days in there.. I searched for the games I wanted and Got all of em! I wanted MotorStorm and got it.. also on my B'day (july 4th) i got Vegas! Which is awesome btw. and For NGS.. I searched a LOT.. one day I did around 3-4 KMs walking and asking everyshop for that game but didnt find it... but on 7/7/7 I found it which was a very lucky day for me indeed :D
With all these four games I was very much content and wont buy more till holiday season or maybe LAIR if its great.
Also.. there I searched very much for a Wifi Router so that I can lay my DS and PS3 online at home and also use it for guests' laptops The average price was 75$ for those.. but I searched and searched for weeks and found it for 50$! another great example to show that searching does give you good results!
Similarly I searched for a Bluetooth headset and after weeks of searching I got it for HALF the pricfe in a Carrefour.(less than $20)
On the last 3 Days we went to Dubai and toured the place.. I have to say, its a marvel of mans creations. That place has all seasons happening in it all year round at the same time! they have man Made islands and what not.. also the WORLDS BIGGEST MALL! We went to that place and it was awesome.. the sheer amount of games there amazed me.. I never saw so many game related shops at one place.

I took a lot of PIcs to show all you guys.. and also it was the first time that i played Guitar hero there! (360 version) I got 88% in my very first attempt :P The Games priced OK there.. but Things like TVs were So cheap.. they are HALF the rate what we find in india. I enjoyed a lot watching the TV shops and looking at their HD glory :P


After all these Shopping and Stuffs we returned home in Business c.l.a.s.s. Emirates Flight(the journey to Saudi was payed for by my fathers company :P As they preferred us coming there than him leaving for vacation :D ) where I watched Blades of Glory.and Enjoyed it. I was carrying the Ps3 as Hand Baggage on my Back, had it bubbled bathed and what not. so my back was hurnting after I went home :P In Dubai Duty Free I bought Kung Fu Hustle BD which is awesome!
Also! There was NO CUSTOMS charged at the airport :D:D:D:D I was in so much tension thinking we would have to pay 10% customs or something.. but luckily it didnt get customs! yay :D
Now I was home.. missed a lot of college all friends were calling. I was very much hapy to see that 30 Friends had sent me Wishes on my B'day and was very touched :oops: After coming I had Huge body pains and head ache as in the past Three days I slept only for 5 hours! It was a very tiring journey..And after coming home I setup the home theater with a Lot of ethical thinking of where to put those consoles :P Because of the the way my Arrangement was made and how the Holes are made.. it was only possible for me to keep it in a way such that the PSone and 360 (white consoles) were kept at the Bottom, and Ps3 and Ps2(black consoles) at the top..I dont know why.. I think I was thinking too much :P
I was telling my self if I keep ps3 in bottom people will call me 360 fan, if i keep ps3 on top the other way around, and if i keep black seperate from white they would think I am a person who sees different colours differently..:roll: I thought of keeping black and white combo to have a multicoloured thing but keeping PS3 and 360 together would blow things up :lol: and Psone and PS3 didnt look that great. In The End I thought that.. well, Its ONLY CONSOLE PLACING!! And I kept in most opposite way imaginable only so that I can say I am not a bad person its only becasue of the technicalities of the situation that I had to place them.. not considering the ethics :lol: I should be sounding like a crazy man right now.. but I feel that even my consoles will fight among themselves if i dont play them much :P
I Even Got Internet Working on the Ps3 and Installed Linux in it too :D Did almost everything imaginable with it, just like the 360(hearing Internet Radio on it using Media Center, Using Media center, using MSN Messenger BEFORE the Update, again, Via Media Center, Sharing media and what not :D)
So here is the Final Pic of the NEW IMPROVED home theater.. and I Will make another video about it. when the TRINITY is complete ;)
Hope This fills all of you in on what was happening these days.. I could say a lot more.. but that would be Toooo long :lol:
P.S I found this Funny Things At Dubai.. apparently People are Copying from game Consoles. So can see a Media Center Device of Same Shape as PS3 which won an award for "Excellence in Design" (what a ripoff) and Another Portable HDD which looks like the 360. Check em out.
