Why did I buy my boyf a 360 for Christmas????

[parkers]

Thanks to all the male ABers, I bought my boyf am Xbox 360 for Christmas (ok, I can't really blame you)..
So, as I am sat upstairs typing this he is downstairs playing Gears of War (I also am guilty of buying that) on some live thing where he can talk into a headset to other people playing it...!???
1. I simply DO NOT GET IT...
2. I paid for it
3. I am getting jealous at the fact there are women on there
4. Someone please tell me what do you talk about whilst on there? Is it a secret dating service?

Xbox Widow..

Never played it but have talked with other people over the Internet with another game, and its basically a social and fun thing to do, also helps when playing communication is easier. If you think its going to be a real big issue then I'd suggest you get him off it now before he gets too addicted (and yes you can get it). No its not a secret dating service :) and i wouldn't get too paranoid just make sure he does other things to occupy both of you because online games can take over your life. Hope this helps.

what does it sound like he is talking about ?

Have you tried walking into the room naked with a 'come and get it' expression on your face?

Youd have been just as annoyed had you bought him a wii. I havnt seen my partner for most eves since xmas day, not that im complaining too much. I get the bed to myself til 1am and can watch what i want on the sky upstairs. Its just that he hasnt cooked or done any housework since xmas :)

1. You don't get it because you're a woman. You concern yourself with bigger and better things in life. You like chocolate, and eating out, and wine. We - the men - like shiney games on shiney consoles that whizz with power. Sorry.

2. Well, my wife paid for mine last christmas, knowing from past experience with the original xbox, just how little she'd see of me at nights. But that just makes me more grateful and indebted to her. So when she requires some, ahem, love (just for her), I can't argue.

3. Do NOT be jealous. I've played on Xbox Live for around 5 years now, and I've known around 3 women in total. Women are savvy online, they know they're playing in games dominated by 12 year old americans, whose heads would explode scanner-like if they knew they'd played with a woman/girl. Because if a woman plays a game with you, she wants sex, right ? No. Women keep their heads low online.

4. We gamers talk absolute rubbish. We congratulate each other on crazy driving in games. We laugh as someone gets a grenade in the face. We discuss the various ways you can enter any given room and eliminate all "tangos". We talk about last nights teevee, or sometimes our kids (I just can't help myself )

Don't fret petal, just get yourseld a Nintendo DS and watch him pay you all the attention you deserve. Sorry, IT deserves. :D

Excellent Dreddnaught...!!!
I still don't get it, and I don't thik that I ever will - the only game I have ever liked is Busta Grove... and I don't think you can get that for the 360...?

Gorgeous - the problem with getting him off it is that he is home at least 2hrs before me so i don't stand a chance...!!

Space - Not a clue, a few grunts and laughs here and there, try not to pay too much attention - whilst I cook dinner and clean the house.

redcrx - exactly....!!!

Booldawg - great idea - I will try it, if he ignores me - it's over !!

Thanks guys x
