My opinion on the matter is that physical media will always be preffered over digital media in the visceral realm. The problem with digital media, while being easier to distribute, is always the loser when it comes ot the elements. I lost at least 3 hard drives full of movies/ songs from various sources in Hurricane Katrina, But all my DVDs still worked fine. Also digital distribution is subject to unforseeable errors like that west coast power outage leaving millions without power for days, killing all servers and connections in the region. Physical media will be the preffered format for at least the next media generation due to their durability and portablity factor. Common anti-piracy DRMs block many video formats from being watched on more than one medium. Keep your VGA movies, amazon; I'm gonna go watch an HD-DVD while you're busy downloading.
I'm on my first macbook from august, the restarts arent too random, but everytime it goes to sleep it'll shut off within 3 minutes after being wakened. Its annoying, but its still usable. I wish apple would be more proactive for people who dont live near an Apple store. (MS gulf coast for life!)
The DS Lite just begs to be played, I have a PSP and a DS Lite, I use the PSP for homebrew and some web browsing, but I see the DS Lite and I just HAVE to play it, even though I haven't bought a new game in months... I've got almost 1 game for every genre, MPH is fun, Advance Wars is fun, Mario 64 DS is compelling, New Mario Bros is fun, Animal Crossing is so flippin' addicting, Mario Kart wins in racing, I mean, I've covered all corners of my gaming likes and I don't care that it's not up to par with the PSP's graphics.
