I bought a birthday gift for myself last week! It was about $40, and it came in today!
First I excitedly opened the box!

 
Then it was time to check out the games. I wasn’t too interested in these, but they came with it.

Next I looked at the controller! I still need to find an analog controller too. The digital one feels nice!

Then it was time to admire the console itself. First I put it on top of RROD’d 360 that I’ve been too lazy to send to Microsoft, but moved it because I didn’t want to scratch the autograph on my 360 and because the AV cable was too short!

I had to tape down a lever so I could do the console damaging swap trick. I should look into getting a mod chip.

And then I reached my goal!

I still need to pick up a new internal battery, but I’m pretty excited. After I get an analog controller I can give NiGHTS a try too!
