I know a lot of people don't like the point as a currency, but I absolutely love it b/c I hardly pay the full price for points when I purchase them in bulk. I also like the pseudo security I feel when I don't use my credit card on the Microsoft eco system. Yes, I don't like seeing unusable changes every so often, but I buy stuff from Microsoft eco system (e.g. zune market, XBL, etc) so it doesn't bother me much. I do think that Microsoft should allow me to donate unusable points to childs play or other online donation sites so I can clear them up every so often, but I am okay either way. I am a relatively patient buyer and points card seems go on discount sales frenzies a lot more often than some people think. I believe I am getting the best value by sticking with the points.
I was all ready to buy Macbook Pro 15" for 2300 bux tonight. Went to the Apple store after 7 PM. The store was packed and had to wait 5 minutes in the corner just to talk with a sales person. While I was waiting, I noticed that there was a Sony VAIO store right next to the Apple store. What did I see? Empty store with Sony VAIO employees.
Vita won't bring people back to Sony. My guess is that people don't see the reason to pick up Vita. At this stage, I won't bother to pick up Vita unless Sony throws in the memory stick for free and drop the price to near 149.99 mark. 199.99, I am willing to pay as an early adoptor, but it better comes iwth the memory stick or else.
@copa lol. Nintendo, Square Enix, and Sony likes to have a word with you. I suppose following titles are not considered milking of an established franchise: Mario, FF, Uncharted, Resistance, Killzone, and God of War.

Halo books are as average as any military sci-fi now days. They are not bad if you get over the Halo branding.
