The Call of Duty addiction continues.

I need help.  I know I play too much Call of Duty: World at War on Xbox Live but I can’t stop myself.  I see my addiction only getting worse in the coming week.  Tomorrow, March 19th, a new Map Pack is being released.  Tomorrow also marks the start of a WEEK of double XP.  This is not good, or it’s great, depending on your perspective.  The problem is Prestige.  What is Prestige?  Prestige is starting over from scratch when you reach level 65.  You see, as you level up by gaining XP, you open up new weapons and perks.  When you complete challenges with weapons you get new attachments for the weapons.  Level 65 is as high as you can go though, at this point all weapons and perks have been unlocked, all that is left is working on challenges.  When you Prestige though, you wipe the slate clean, everything you earned through 65 levels is gone and you get to do the whole process again.  You might wonder why someone would want to do this?  Because the process is addicting, not having all those precious guns and attachments makes you want to play so you can get them all back.  You can Prestige up to 10 times and when it’s all said and done you also open up 5 more custom classes.  Holy crap how could I forget about the custom classes!?  You start with 5 custom class slots to build your own unique weapon loadouts.  Through Prestige though you can open up to 5 more custom classes, a total of 10!  Ten combos of guns, perks, attachments, grenades, sidearms!  Anyway…I was originally planning on staying at Prestige Level 2 for a while which could help stave off my addiction, because as soon as I Prestige all I want to do is play so I can get all the goodies back as quick as possible.  Then they announce a week of Double XP, and now I may have no choice but to Prestige again so I can take advantage of the double XP.  Do you see how this can be addicting?!  Probably not…like I said, I need help.
