Good morning my FRiend!
My parents got the jedis an XBOX. Something Steve and I said we'd never let them have. But it was such a nice gift that I wanted them to have it...still, Steve didn't...I think we both kinda thought it was like a computer game.
So I set it up during his nap and when he got up, I started the OU-OSU bedlam game on it.
Steve and Matthew played for an hour! LOL!!!!
I think it will play DVD's too.
That's a cool present. You can regulate playing time and the games they play. They'll enjoy it for a long time. Look at places like Blockbuster and eBay for "pre-played" games. You can get some bargains.
Steve will probably end up enjoying it as much as the boys do!
Joseph bought an XBox for himself in the Fall, and we got a him a new game for it, "Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic". St Nick brought Clare "Dance Dance Revolution" for the XBox and two dance pads. It is actually good exercise! She has two friends who do DDR for 1/2 hr. just about every day, and they both have lost 30 pounds this past year!. She doesn't need to lose weight, but she sure could use some exercise in addition to the Hydrobics a couple of times a week! With the two Dance Pads, she can play against other folks! Our David is really good at it. He and his housemates in Pittsburgh spent hours playing it!
Heh...my brother got a Gameboy (I think...some cubey thing that plays video games) and a NCAA football game to go with it. My nephews were playing UNC vs State. The nephew with UNC was grumbling that his team wasn't very good. "Get used to it, kid!"
