Hey guys, let me start with this - I OWN a PS3.. Yes. I caved. I got mine early too! Remember, back when they were impossible to find! /sarcasm

Anyways, I picked it up and no longer than a month, the price had shot down $100. That made me bitter to begin with. But I was one of about 1000 people who suffered, so I pulled my pants up and dealt. But CNET wants to say the PS3 is on life support right now, and Gabe Newell just said the PS3 is garbage.

I kinda agree when he breaks it down like that. I wonder if it will bounce back... my $900 hopes so..


EDIT: Now there are claims last month HD-DVD Sales pulled ahead of Blu-Ray...

Check out these bad boys!



Back in the day - Atari 2600 owners were asked to take a photograph of their tv set with a high score and send it in. Upon validation from Activision, if your high score was legit, they sent you a patch. Imagine rockin' a jacket with these bad boys!

Apparently they are highly valued collectible items now, so if you ever had one, better try and find it..

You guys remember the April Fools gag from Thinkgeek a while back? Well, if you did - you knew that people actually wanted to buy it, and now it's finally available!



I'm not sure how my boss would react - but if I hung out with a bunch of trendy hipsters - I'm sure they'd like me more if I wore this!



Wow!! He's cool.



I'm sold..

Only question now is, will Emo boy over there be using it as a noose after the photoshoot...

Alright guys... I missed something recently. Several reputable sources reported on a Special Halo 3 Surprise right before the launch, yet none have followed up on the article. I lead you to the following..

Did any of you find out what it was? Have any of you heard so? Caaann annybody out theerrre HEAAAR ME! sorry I dunno why but that just came out of me..

So... What's the deal?

Whats happening?

I just got back from BestBuy and picked up the 360 Messenger Chatpad, and I have to say it's pretty damn cool.



Just like reviewers have said, it snaps in, feels a bit heavier, nice tactial buttons. It's really solid accessory. I like the how the presentation of messenger overlays the stuff your watching/playing. It actually makes the messenger feature of Xbox Live worth it.



If you got the extra coin, and you're on the fence - I'd have to say go for it.

Check it out!

I'm letting you guys know, I order from online stores alot, now would be a good time for you my fellow Canadians!
