If the economy could be stimulated by my personal xbox live shopping habits over the past week, then we could officially call the recession over. last week, XBL made some pretty awesome Star Wars shit available for the avatars. Needless to say, the lightsaber and Clone Trooper uniform were the first purchases. I won't go into the extreme details, but my guy now has a new skateboard, several new shirts, and thanks to the new Games on Demand feature, I finally get a chance to play GTA San Andreas. I know, I'm only about a decade late on that one.

Oh, and you can thank D-Frag for planting this video in front of my face, which subsequently made $12 instantly disappear from my bank account. Thanks Frag. Any fan of Nintendo's Excitebike will probably run into the same problem.
