Getting popular by gifting Halo 3

Being a Microsoft employee, I get a discount on purchasing the latest XBOX 360 game, Halo 3.  Since I don't own a XBOX 360 game console (or any other game console for that matter) I found this a good opportunity to increase my level of popularity with friends and family by gifting out the game.  I already have 3 requests for the game and plan to give away the copies to my beloved friends and families.   The reason that I don't own a game console, is simply because I found my time better spent elsewhere.  However, I read so many good reviews about this particular game that I might just get tempted to finally buy that console and declare a Halo 3 day out of the comming weeks.....at the moment....I am just tempted...
