It's (almost) here, it's pretty, and it does play games (apparently). One question remains, will it blend? Check out the highlights for today:

AT&T? Pass.

Jhongerkong @ Jun 10th 2008 12:13AM

I want Amusement Vision back making the console MB games

OT: I was sooo close to passing Fascination Maxx on heavy. I always die at the final 400bpm part (last 10 secs or so). Its frickin pissing me off!

cool story bro

I think we have a game to play

Jhongerkong @ Jun 10th 2008 12:31AM

You're on, im online right now.

rTwelve [xbl:chilblane] @ Jun 10th 2008 12:36AM

ok, now waiting

rTwelve [xbl:chilblane] @ Jun 10th 2008 12:51AM

good game

Jhongerkong @ Jun 10th 2008 12:53AM

Shit man, you got the better of me this time. Sorry I had to turn voice chat off but im in my bed right now and everyones asleep (its almost 1am). Next time we play, its gotta be daylight.

Although I did pull a pretty sweet x20

rTwelve [xbl:chilblane] @ Jun 10th 2008 12:59AM

I'm pretty sure it was at least 22, thats what I saw when I glanced at your screen

Jhongerkong @ Jun 10th 2008 1:01AM

Yeah, good times...

Reply to one of my comments tomorrow. I need a rematch. Although, if I dont reply back after a while, I might be busy (exams are up and all)

$199? Mighty tempting, but I hate ATT. Lets hope they figure out how unlock this sucker soon.

Obies dad @ Jun 10th 2008 3:23AM

You won't be able to. Activation now takes place in shops so you're fucked if you want to unlock it. If you buy online and you skip that out but if you don't register the iPhone with your phone company after 30 days since purchase then there will be trouble.

Just get it on AT&T for fucks sake. Buncha whiney kids.

uh-oh polio @ Jun 10th 2008 5:22AM

The in store activation sucks, everyone knows that. But to me i don't really mind as im already on iphone 1.0 with AT&T and the service is great in(at least where i live)Northern NJ. 199 sure is tempting tho. I might lay off my phone on an uninformed victim and purchase this one. Maybe not first day of course as the lines will be ridiculous. But soon.
