"Tom Houston... Roooocks!" - Jeff Steitzer
I was 24. I was in operations at a Circuit City store and was in charge of setting up the demo Xbox for the sales floor. I unloaded the demo unit from the truck and plugged it in right there. I was the first to play it, right there on the loading dock of Circuit City before the release date. there were some other lame demos like Odd World and some other junk. Nothing compared to Halo.
I remember the awesomeness of two player and how one of you could drive while the other shot the machine gun. That alone sold me on it.
