   Mark,

   I’ve been listening to Spoon’s Gimme Fiction.. I remember you mentioning it on your blog a while back.. awesome.. probably one of the best albums of this year… I went on a killer cd shopping spree on my holidays.. Also check out clap your hands and say yeah for some weird indie, and Stars “set yourself on fire” for some great music..

   peace

   Hi Mark. I just stumbled upon your blog yesterday, and it opened up all the Kuwait blogs listings for me, which I wasn’t aware of, so thanks for that. I’m moving back to Kuwait in a month and a half, and I was wondering what the XBOX 360 situation is like there. Here in the ‘States I’ve been able to test one of the ones at Wal-Mart and I’m in love, so I want to get one as soon as I get there. Do you know if they are going to be out in Kuwait on launch day, or if they will be out by the end of December there? Also, generally I go to the games stores in old Salmiya, do you know if they are going to only be available at the more expensive name brand stores like Virgin, or will I be able to haggle like previous systems for a lower price and a free game?

   Well if its anything like the last xbox release, you will find the xbox in Kuwait within a week of release but it will be heavily priced.

   Virgin would not have it for a long time after. Rihab complex is your best bet, thats the videogame center in Kuwait, there are over 30 videogame stores there and you will be able to haggle.

   Thanks, I know about Rihab. I wonder if there will be shortage problems. I’m sure you’ve read how many pre-orders are going to have to wait to get theirs,
