then we could help you make a free account (which should give you at least a month of Gold so you could play online). Might be fun, if you have the time, busy father and so forth.

I have at least two or three 48 hour subscriptions lying around. Those could be handy.

Fink, stop being a bum and buy a 360! They are just barely over $100 these days, set a little aside each month and you'll have enough for one in no time.

Games like Halo 3 and L4D2 can be found used in the under $10 dollar range these days.
