The Daily Hotness: At the Microsoft store photo

Conrad Zimmerman got to check out the new Microsoft retail store and brought us a look at what to expect from the place. Really like that they do on-demand software printing and on-site Xbox 360 repairs.

Ben checked out Avatar, we talked to the team behind The Crystal Bearers, check out craineum's Halloween project, our meetup section has been overhauled and you can win a PC just for checking it out, Nick reviewed the new Ratchet & Clank and more happened on 10/22/09.

Running Windows 7 right now, and after seeing that Microsoft game printer thing = Faith restored in Microsoft.
