Majors good friend over at Timberland had these custom boots made for him.
"One of my best friends from college now is pretty high up at the Timberland company. When he found out what I do, he had these special ‘Xbox/Major Nelson’ boots made for me. While it’s nice they say ‘Timberland’ I need to have him to make me a pair that says ‘Xbox’ on one shoe and ‘360′ on the other…don’t you agree?"

Hey guys check out my custom faceplate. The design is layed out with handset gems

Click here to see some more larger pictures.

Well I received my wood grain faceplate from Hong Kong yesterday, it looks so much better then the official US wood grain faceplate. The power button and memory card slots are black, and it looks really cool when you power it up.

Also I picked up Oblivion early the clerk asked me if i wanted to upgrade to the Collectors Edition which i did not want to do, but my Call of Duty 2 and Project Gotham 3 trade-in paid for the game in full.

Let me say, this is one beautiful collectors edition, it includes a guide to catch you up on the past and present story of Elder Scrolls, a coin, a map and a super artistic case. I was really impressed at the overall presentation. Definitely quality stuff.

In other news I received word that my custom faceplate is done, im really impressed with the preview photographs I received.More on that coming soon......

Ok it seems like everyday is just another faceplate update, but hell faceplates are sweet. They are probably one of most collectable Xbox item ever, next to the halo action figures.

These plates where just featured at the Tapei Launch, and are now being auction on yahoo.

Wow this is really nice and unique, its not the fniished project, im sure when its done its going to be mind boggling.[Kotaku]

(Crap, i just noticed the website Videogamecollectors.com is down right now, so I have removed the link to my room of doom. Check out my MSN space for a few pictures of my collection.)

Yeah no gold Oblivion Coin for me, I just cant do it. I preordered Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion today, because im not going through the same ordeal as I did with Ghost Recon A.W.
The guy at Gamestop said there would be a chance of getting it early. Sweet.

I feel guilty, im suppose to be the Collector and here I am shying away from the 80$ Collectors Edition. Im just going to get the standard versions. No game is worth 80$ because in 2 years you will see it for $9.99 on a shelf somewhere.

I wasnt expecting there to be a faceplate for G.R.A.W., actually im slightly upset because I really want it.

I just picked up the "Wanted" Rainbow Six shirt I blogged about a month ago off of ebay, along with a Wood grain styled faceplate from Hong Kong that I never seen before.

Im probably going to give away my U.S. Wood Grain faceplate away in a contest in the near future. Stay Tuned.

Here was my 1 question for the world famous Old Grandma Hardcore.

I wrote
Q: I just want to ask grandma if she is enjoying the xbox 360 achievement system. And does she find it rewarding or overated.

She replied
A: "Tim thinks the achievement system is a conspriracy by Bill Gates to trick folks into thinking harder. I like it! It makes every game an arcade game, so to speak; and I know if my grandkids are lying if they tell me they're further than they are, so that's nice. Some things aren't necessary, though. Why does anyone deserve the first achievement in HexicHD? If you play it for five minutes pressing random buttons you'll still GET it. It's a tease!"

Thanks for answering my Qeustion O.G.H.C.
Also see Grandma on MTV Overdrive.

Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter was just released, I knew it was close but it kinda snuck up on me. Here i am watching my friends list on xbox.com . Everyone is playing the game but me.
This just isnt right im one of the hugest Tom Clancy Fans.

Today i visited 7 Stores with hope that they would have it. The best answer I got is that they may have another shipment tommorow. But the odds are still against me.

Thats ok ill let you guys get a head start on me.

Edit Thursday:Yes ! It was in stock today. See you guys online.

Check out CND Airbrush. Yes this is free advertising for them. They create sweet ass custom airbrushed faceplates. These guys are literally some of the best.

Check out this original Xbox 1 Launch team award that has shown up on Ebay. The award is dated 11-15-2001.

Id love to pick up this item, its gaming memorabilia at its best.

I wonder what the final purchase price will be.
It definitely can go over a hundred.

Around a dozen 360s and Samsungs line the inside of this sleek metallic Xbox 360 Bus.

I just finished Marble Blast Ultra on Expert, The last levels par time is 3 minutes. It took me over 60 minutes to beat. Absolutely insane, I was about to throw the controller at the screen, when finally a miracle occured and I captured that one impossible gem.

There is a ton of replayability in this game, with the multiplayer,par times, and easter egg hunt.
