So if you may have not known, I am planning on getting a Xbox 360. I get the final paycheck I need this Tuesday and I am excited.

Well, this morning, I open the ads to see if there are any sales on 360s. Guess what I saw? Best Buy and Circuit City both had 360 Elites in stock! If you may have not known, these things are pretty damn rare, and for only $80 more, are a much better deal since they come with the 120gig HD and the HDMI cable, which I would use.

Here is the kicker - I only have $312 at the moment, and am expecting a $145 or so paycheck... on Tuesday. It looks like Best Buy was already out of stock at 9:00am, and I just called Circuit City at ~4:00pm today, and they said they have 5 left.

Ahh! I am so close, yet so far! Now, I gotta be tortured by waiting two days and praying that there will be at least one left after 3:00pm on Tuesday. I know I'll still be $50 shy of the price after tax on Tuesday, but my sister has offered to let me barrow that money and pay her back the following week when I get a nice $260 or so paycheck. Sadly, she only has about $115 in the bank, so she can't loan me the rest now.

I guess all I can do for now is this:

Code:

For i = 1 to 100
My.Wrist.Cut(PocketKnife)
next i
