Oh wow. Time to quit the internet. I made a spelling/grammar error while publicly correcting one.

Just wanted to point out that sheep is the plural or sheep.

Brutes, brutes, brutes. It would be horrible.

Badass, and thanks for the chance guys.

DRM free is not good enough.
I want interoperability.
Use of the AAC format essentially ties iTunes purchases to the iPod.
Once I can get high quality MP3 format songs from independent as well as RIAA artists in one place I will be happy.

As far as this story goes, my iTunes does indeed want to update to version 7.2 when I open it.

*Cough* 1/25th *Cough*

With any luck, next time you see this car I'll be the man in a hoodie driving it.

Steve my PS2 and I have had more fun than I can shake a stick at, that is one reason I am usually more likely to support the PS3. After the SNES the Playstation brand has done a very good job of supporting games that play to my tastes. The exclusives for the Xbox and Gamecube held little appeal to me, and thus far only one 360 game, Dead Rising, has made me contemplate a 360 purchase. After an unexpectedly high console price and months of silence many gamers were left with a bad taste in their mouth so long as the PS3 was concerned. Sony have made some missteps, but as far as I can remember all of those were public relations blunders. To this point I cannot think of a single major mistake that has been made with the hardware or software of the PS3, except possibly not living up to the PR/Marketing hype (but you didn't really believe all of that did you?) Recently most if not all of the news concerning the PS3's hardware/software has been quite positive. Example: Multiple OS support, Quieter & Cooler Running Than 360, User Upgradeable Hard Drive, Optional Game Installation, and Damned Near 100% Backwards Compatibility. Some may cite a lack of rumble in the controller as a hardware failure. I disagree, I have never thought that rumble adds much immersion to a game, force feedback would, but rumble is something I turn off wherever possible. Also those swank touch-activated power and eject buttons more than make up for rumble's omission. I'll probably get a PS3 in six to eight months, once its first set of real triple-a games start rolling out. I may only buy one or two games at that time, but I'll be buying it based on future expectations for the system and its exclusives.

Actually the Game Boyz strip was referencing If You Give a Mouse a Cookie, an amazing children's book by Laura Numeroff. It was the first in her "If You Give a" series, followed by If You Give a Moose a Muffin. I'm old enough that the one I own was probably in the first printing, I doubt many of you can say that. Also I stopped at If You Give a Moose a Muffin, but I know it goes on after that.

None of my friends have a 360, but one is seriously considering it.

Thanks,
Matthew

Currently it's a laptop in the den to laptop in the family room that's hooked up to the TV using S-video and miniplut to RCA audio.
Pretty ghetto I know.

Thanks,
