So for those who may have noticed, I had purchased a 360 when I got my PS3, but the 360 was trouble from the get go, died on me twice, and I never really got to play with it. Haven't tried anything with it since.

But now I have oodles and oodles of expendable income after switching jobs (I'm literally making 6x as much as I was before), and I'm diving back in with a new 360, preferrably an Elite, because I'd like to play NG2, among other games. Some questions:

1) Anyone know any upcoming deals I should take advantage of?

2) Does the Elite come with Wi Fi?

3) When does Castle Crashers come out?

I have two routers at home, and would actually PREFER a wired connection. Is there an ethernet jack built in? I was using Wi Fi before, but would prefer not to if possible.

1. Amazon has the Elite for 25 bucks off right now (424.99 plus free shipping). There are rumors that they are re-releasing the holiday bundle of the Elite with Forza 2 and Marvel Ultimate Alliance at the end of June. Edit: That sale is ended!

2. Nope. Amazon also has the WiFi piece for less than retail. I think it's like 77.99. And, I believe there are other solutions that can be used for cheaper. Ethernet jack is built in.

3. Castle Crashers was JUST completed in the middle of May, as posted by the devs. It still has to go through certification, blah blah blah, and it is said to take a couple of months. My guess is it will arrive by the end of July, latest.

And ... you ... Bod ... are interested in ... Ninja Gaiden 2 ...??? o_O

Totally didn't see that coming.

There is an ethernet jack on the back of every 360, so Wi-fi is not a necessity. Not sure on any deals (looks like someone has one from Amazon that may be decent), but I'm also rather excited for Ninja Gaiden 2. It'll make a nice slightly early birthday present to myself.

The dedication you show to any particular console or company is inversely proportional to the number of times you have gotten laid. If you get laid enough, even if you prefer a certain brand, you just don't give enough of a shit to argue about it on the internet.
