Oscar De La Hoya vs. Floyd Mayweather Jr.
If you think this is the first time I’ve discussed boxing on my blog, think again. A search for Fight Night should bring up several posts about my experiences with the Xbox 360 game.
So, remembering that I’ve gotten all 1000 gamer points in Fight Night Round 3 it should come as no shock that I am interested in some De La Hoya vs Mayweather tickets, as I enjoy boxing just as much as the next person. This fight is sure to not disappoint either.
This will be the second fight between these two and the first one broke all PPV records last May in Las Vegas. Oscar ‘Golden Boy’ De Le Hoya’s promotion company CEO Richard Schaefer told ESPN that the bout is “almost finalized” for September 13 or September 20.
Are you ready for this fight? It’s sure to be a battle worth watching as 2 of the best do the rematch thing to determine who is better once and for all. In the last fight Mayweather won by a split-decision and took De Le Hoya’s junior middleweight belt away from him. Naturally, De Le Hoya should be all practiced up this time, ready to re-earn his belt back.
NBA Live ‘07 (for Xbox 360) for $1
I believe it was last year that I got introduced to Protrade by my friends Bryan and Nate. Basically it’s a “sports stock market” where you buy and sell players and teams from just about every sport. The real market value of the player is based on how good they’re doing. The actual trading price of the player varies. Usually most players will have prices which reflect what price they’ll be worth at the end of the season.
The more money that you get, the better. You can trade protrade dollars and usually a very small actual dollar amount for prizes. Since I don’t use protrade anymore I was looking through the prizes and came across NBA Live ‘07 for $40,000 Protrade dollars and $1. Yeah, it’s a year old but this is a brand new never been opened copy and I currently don’t own a basketball game for My xbox 360, so I figure it’s a steal.
I’ve reached the 10,000/5 Digit Xbox Achievment score club
The last time I posted my Gamerscore was when I hit 8,000. That was November 29th, 2007. It’s been a long road over these past 4 months to get to 10,000, but I did it!
Thanks to some late night All-Pro Football 2K8, Hardwood Hearts, and many other games, I have finally reached a 10,000 Gamerscore. I managed to hit it right on the dot tonight.
I’m way ahead of some of my friends and way behind others, but I am very proud of my score! I’ve had my Xbox 360 for a couple of years, and I’ve gone up and down on how much I play it. Lately, I’ve been using it as a movie player a lot more than a video game console. Nevertheless, I think that more score should continue to increase on a pretty regular basis. I’ll keep you all updated!
New HDTV, more HD-DVDs
I just got the TV pictured to the left. It’s not the biggest HDTV in the world. In fact, it’s actually pretty small. It is 19″ and 720P. I got it on sale at Best Buy for $250 (that’s cheaper than anything on Newegg). I’ve plugged my Xbox 360 (with my brand new HD-DVD drive) into it and the picture is amazing! I could not be happier with my purchase. It works perfectly for me right now and will be a great TV for my bedroom when I get my own place (which will be very soon, look for a future blog post).
Anyway, I’ve also collected quite a lot of HD-DVDs to watch on my new HDTV, they are:
Resident Evil Trilogy (German Imports)
The Matrix Trilogy
Harry Potter 1-5
King Kong
American Gangster
Pride and Prejudice
Elephant’s Dream (German Import - Digital Short)
Mission Impossible 2 (In the mail)
As you can see, I’ve generally tried to pickup trilogies and sets. I think that a ‘collection’ is defined by full sets of movies like that. Otherwise I am planning on getting many more movies as prices for HD-DVDs come down. American Gangster is DVD and HD-DVD Combo Format and despite the fact that it came out less than a month ago, I picked it up for just $17.00 at Wal Mart.
Lastly, as soon as I move into my place, I am planning on getting a 46″-65″ HDTV for my living room, but no point in getting that when I have no good place to put it.
HD-DVD, Busy, Florida
It’s been quite awhile since I posted, and a lot has happened. As you know, HD-DVD has basically thrown in the towel and many are claiming it’s time to get a blu-ray player but I am not one of those people. I’m currently at 13 movies on HD-DVD and that does not count the 5 that should be coming in the mail, since I ended up buying an Xbox 360 HD-DVD drive on the Feb. 28th, the last day of the free 5 HD-DVD promotion.
Other than that I have been pretty busy with other things. Busy in this case could mean that I was playing video games or watching TV, but the fact remains that I was doing other things, and my blog suffered for a little while. I apologize for this. However, it’s not the first time I took a long break from my blog and its not the last.
Finally, I’m going to Florida tomorrow! It’s not a vacation, it’s a business trip, but its bound to be much warmer than Wisconsin is right now and I am very excited!
